but the porterfield pads are a bit pricey compared to mintex redbox. the mintex has the wire/plug for the brake wear sensor where as the porterfield's do not. the porterfield's do decrease about 70% of the oem brake dust as a bonus..

the combination of dba longlife gold drilled/slotted rotors and porterfield pads has, in my estimation probably knocked off about 5 to 7 feet of 100 mph to 0 mph braking with greater protection from fade as opposed to the oem set-up but certainly not up to par with the big brake kits . my combination probably gets ya half way to the stop-tech combo for $550 shipped versus $2k+ for various big brake kits.

unfortunately, i have not tracked the car but i am planning on doing the audi club of north america drivers safety school at lime rock in ct. so, i will see if this set-up can hold up its end of the bargain when it is asked to progress to the next level of performance.

That's a good price compared to even the BIRA ones, isn't it? And no reports of warping?

Ah, I see from your other post that these are the ones with the Kanga Paw ventilation. I remember reading about those. I'll put this thread in the FAQ. I see you posted these links, which I repeat here just for convenience:
