Out of curiousity, what supplier are people using for the Rs4-2 pads? From a cursory look the pads command a hefty price premium, but perhaps I've been looking in the wrong places??

Ahhhhhermmmm.........

Retail prices for the Pagid Pads are

RS4-4 Orange = £226

DaveB1970, does the NQS BBK suits ok with R32 rear brake setup (310mm ventilated)?

[Tfsi_Mike]

I am looking at ATE Super Blue Racing Brake Fluid DOT 4 fluid.  Does it only come in one specification?

Thanks

[the bruce]

Yes and no, Mike.

One technical spec, two colours (at least in the US).

In Germany there's just the blue fluid. In the US there's an amber Ate 'Super Blue
Racing' as well. The diffent colour helps to see if you swapped all the old fluid out.

If it's of any use to anyone I'm going to buy some OEM Textar pads from Textar shop near my house.

Porsche Paderborn wanted 310€ without labour    I'd get 19% discount off that, but still! 

Textar near my house want 74,82€ + VAT Im seeing tommorow if they will give me 19% discount which will make them tax free

Wear sensors 16,55€ + VAT

Dunno how that compares to prices back home.  Plan on getting some RS4-2s off Dave payday or when 3rd party insurer pays out compensation from a recent motoring misshap 

[DaveB@Vagbremtechnic]

Full marks Mike, thats cheap for those pads.

Textar is porsche OEM, when you get the pads see if it says TEXTAR 4045 on the back....if they do then happy days you've just saved yourself about 200 quid

The ones at porsche parts counter said 4045 on the back of the pad as I asked are they Textar or Pagid, I will check on my way home from work with Textar that they are 4045.

Do you have the p/n?  When I said 2.7 Cayman it narrowed it down to the one price I quoted rather than the 6 possibilities he gave me to begin with lol.

Yes and no, Mike.

This is what I bought....

So how many people are now running NQS BBK?

What are the roundup of opinions?

I've been running mine for about 20k miles now and can honestly say that it is about the best money I have spent on the car (and I've spent a lot!). If I could rewind the clock, I would do this ahead of any of the performance mods that I've done.  In fact, I was wondering if I should purchase another set in anticipation of getting a new version Octavia or MkVI GTI in the future!

I am running DS2500s on them which are good but the jump from Textar to them was only a slight advantage when compared to the jump in performance going from OEM to NQSBBK. Also got S3 rears that I bought from SteveP after refurb'ing them myself (never again!!) - despite being a slight improvement again, I am not sure that they were worth the pain that I put myself through  

I developed some brake shudder and have just refitted the J-hook discs after cleaning up the surface between the hub and the discs and rubbing down the discs in case there was deposits causing the judder...all good now...could just do with a clean!  

Edit: I did a comprehensive 'how to' on fitting these over on Briskoda but would be happy to post here if there is interest.
