Last attempt to save my JHM rotors..

**MaxRS6** · January 11th, 2012, 16:53

I am about to swap out the EBC Reds to Hawk Plus Blue for the rear- sitting on the workbench waiting on me to install. I utilize Carbotech Bobcats for street on the front STaSIS BBK.

Gonna (Arkie slang) try the Ferodo 3000 pads (sitting next to the Hawks) for the next track event.

Edit: Ferodo spelling...thx Josh...no comment about the gonna? At least I didn't use "fixin to".

Hawk HPS's have been working well for me, not a lot of grab until warmed up good, but hardly any dust-off and the rotors are looking good. Would like to know how those HPS+'s work out, should have better grab and maybe a bit of noise.

Ferodo...

**aussie rs6** · January 11th, 2012, 18:24

over on the UK RS6 forum, the carbotechXP pads have been getting good reports. http://www.ctbrakes.com/pads.asp
I am trying a set of Ferodo DS2500 i bought from http://store.zeckhausen.com/catalog/...ath=44_707_708

I've tried the XP10's a couple of times at the track on Carbotech's recommendation. However; globs of brake material just melted off. Their site does say the XP10 should be used on cars less than 2900 lbs. However; the Carbotech rep recommended them so I gave them a shot. Some of their other compounds (XP12, 16, RP2) might hold up better on the track. We'll see how the "Ferodo" pads do next time out on the track.

Another pic.

It seems as if the pad material is getting lodged in the holes and then creating these awesome grooves.

Max, I'm gonna look inta em ther fernando pads you ben talkin bout

Surprisingly well... I will get a photo if you like?
I don't like the EBC Reds for the lack of initial bite and the fookin' blue crap on the rotors...
I also have the Phaetons on there, not sure how much it helps...

**4everRS** · January 12th, 2012, 03:17

Good to hear. Did you get the phaetons from Grizz? Wonder if he's still selling them? And how much?

I have been making a list of stuff that I want by spring/summer. Rotors, pads, hotchkis, test pipes, .... I'm sure there will be more.

I sent in an email to ebc stating concerns. I will be sure to report back

HEHEHE, Nope not Grizz..... but GENUINEVWAUDIPARTS!!!

1. Launch ETKA and select VW
2. Find Phaeton
3. Find Dust sheilds R/L and ducts R/L, no need for new bolts, just reuse..
4. Order via Genuine
5. Minor cutting is involved

**4everRS** · January 12th, 2012, 04:00

Did they change the genuine site?

Ben, I looked them up but the image doesn't look right.

**hahnmgh63** · January 12th, 2012, 04:17

1) 2x Phaeton backing plates (3d0 615 311C & 3d0 615 312C)
2) 2x Phaeton air ducts (3d0 615 447D & 3d0 615 448D)
3) 4x brake bolts (100 650 02)
4) 8x securing bolts (908 429 03)

I did get my from Grizz and they were already modified, shipped for around $150 at the time. I've dealt with him twice and both times service was very slow but I got a good deal on the parts (Milltek Catless Downpipes also). Others have dealt with him and received their stuff right away so I must have bad timing when I order.

**hahnmgh63** · January 12th, 2012, 04:31

The Phaeton part #'s don't come up on Geunuine's site but they do on World Impex. Backing plates $56.87 and the ducts are approx $27.16 but it says the ducts are a special order Euro item? Any chance the U.S. W12 Phaetons came with the same backing plates but without the ducts bolted onto them? I'd just E-mail Genuine if your in a hurry or try Grizz (Martin) at Unit 20.

**4everRS** · January 12th, 2012, 04:40

Thanks Mark. I'm in no hurry. I'll add it to the list.

**aussie rs6** · January 12th, 2012, 05:59

I was wondering if anyone in US has installed the full C6 brake and caliper kit from Unit 20 and run it on the track.

(you do have to run 19" rims).

I have the C6 full setup with phaeton scoops from Martin and notice a marked improvement on braking on the road at all speeds with associated increase in confidence when do the "whoa Nelly" bit.

I checked Genuine last night, it was fine.
I just checked it at work, "under construction"!?!?!
