All,
I received the following reply from Andreas Boehm. No minimum order is required, but the lead time is 4 weeks. Anyone going to the Auid National Event at Sears interested in getting together on and order?
From Andreas:
The Pagid front brake pad U2931 in the RS14 racing compound is available to RS6 owners for track use. The retail price for one set (8 pcs) is $405.-. Since there has been, besides Champion, not much demand yet in the US we would need at least 4 weeks lead time. No minimum order is required.
We do not make a rear racing pad yet. I think because the OE pads are so good it is enough to change only the fronts, unless the car is a real racing machine. During braking there is a lot of weight transfer to the front end and with racing pads of course even more. The more weight goes to the front the less braking force can be taken by the rear brakes. So if there is not the whole suspension geometry changed it makes usually no sense to give the rear end more braking force. Pagid racing pads are available through our US warehouse distributors. Please see attached list for the US.
Looks like I'm not allowed to attach the Word file he sent. If you want the list, please e-mail me directly (jimmy94507@earthlink.net) and I will attach it to a reply e-mail.
Does anyone have experience with the stock OE Pagid Pads at the track? Please let us know how they held up.
Regards, Jim
