green stuff pads and they left deposits on their rotors. Basically it makes the car feel like the rotors are warped. Apparently (from what I have read) there is something in their compound that likes to stick to rotors.

I used them for one track event, then upraded to Boxster/A8 fronts, so I have no use for these pads anymore. I'd say they're good for atleast two, maybe three more events.

Not sure if its because my rotors are slotted, but these pads are VERY inconsistant, and noisy.

New, HP+'s can be had for around $100. I think I payed $95 plus shipping from TireRack.

Pod has been an on-going project for the last 9 months. Mexican Audi(Shane) also has one almost identical to mine that he made. Originally Omori gauges was interested in buying the design, but, the bastards kinda forgot about me. F-em

Rotors are the weak link in audi brakes. Remember to cool down afterwards and don't try to be Andretti out there.
