Aaaaah the 'front wheel drive generation'...... obviously never driven some of the vehicles I have owned, which were deemed brilliant in thier time..... must also have atrophied leg muscles ..

Hes never tried a D2 obviously..... You'd be grateful for the D3 brakes if you'd ever owner a D2..
Dont think this S4's brakes are up to much, but given the size of its 10p coin sized wheels, no hope of squeezing any decent stopping power under there....

The PF D2 brakes were a bit (lot) on the crap side... The 360mm dual-piston jobs on my D3 are pretty decent

Mine are great. I mean, they save my life just about every time I get to a busy T junction
devine-nathan. Have you perhaps been driving a D3 with ceramics?

This was a survey done by warranty direct, I've never heard about any real brake issues with the D2 apart from the odd sticky caliper, if they think the M3 suspension is bad, god knows what they make of the RS 6 and the Seat Alhambra is virtually the same as the Galaxy/Sharan is it not? Would be interesting to see how their air con stacks up in comparison.

Not driven ceramic D3.
im using the largest disc/pad combo the D3 offers below the S8 range. maybe its because im used to a car that weighs 1000kg with big ole Nissan Alloy 4 pots. they just dont feel like if i slammed my foot id come to a sudden stop. |
