Thinking of installing some braided lines and flushing out the system and replacing it with a higher performance fluid. Will also move to street/track pads.

Anyone already do this? What products did you got with?

Thanks!

And maybe a mild track pad like a pagid orange, and then some Motul brake fluid. Should fix you right up!

Although I suspect the S5 is harder on the brakes than an A4 (weight and high speeds).

speed to which you can accelerate to on the straight, but by the speed you can accelerate to by the S/F line or flag stand or whatever other reference you choose about mid-way down the straightaway. Then just come out of the gas and drive to the entry to turn 1. Don't slow down enough to be dangerous, but it will make a big difference to your brakes and tires not to bomb into turn 1 at maximum velocity.

The lack of directional rotors causes one side to heat up substantionally more than the other. Upgrading to a better fluid will help some but you will always be overheating one side more than the other. Most aftermarket rotors are dirctional and thus would eliminate this problem. Also I don't believe there arn't any aftermarket pads available yet. I have checked into to it and have found several that will mfr. for us but we will have to pay for the R&D. Nice meeting you.
