Amar have you not considered SystemST proper carbon discs? I heard they are around £1500 a corner and last much longer than the Audi/Porsche ones which just have a thin friction layer essentially glued on?

Not heard of them, no... I'm going with genuine discs for the time being, but will check them out.

Check them out, they are no joke, they partner with Mov'it and I believe they used to supply Stoptech. They also make aircraft brakes.
In my crazier moments I have considered asking how much a set of discs for the S8 would cost. http://www.surface-transforms.com/cp6.php When I was looking into it I came accross this thread http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=436594 just a bit more digging, for my own sake too. http://www.moneyam.com/InvestorsRoom...&from=1&to=500 apologies for sidetracking the original post. |

Amar! Hasn't your 6 only done 11k miles
![]() My Granny could get a clutch to last longer in her Metro (just) They tried killing you, no way thats really bad. Doesn't say that in the advert for them. I've been telling the folk down the social club about it, and they are not happy at all, they've taken to the streets

I LOL'd
![]() Think Amar's mileage is somewhat higher than that - wouldn't surprise me if he's done 11k in it since buying it though! Ceramics do the job when you're running big power like Amar is - I suspect Audi would take about 2 seconds before laughing off the idea of warranty replacement, but if you don't ask you don't get..... I guess the argument boils down to whether the ceramic discs have lasted x times longer than sets of steel discs given the abuse from 200mph that the car is capable of, compared to a stock one?
