Recommend me some brake discs...

E92... N52... (2007)... Auto...

I am about to take up the EBC Red Stuff offer from the UK Classified section...
When I had Red Stuff on my Audi S3 with OEM discs it ate the disc... after 1,000 miles there was a distinguished groove...

Soooo I am looking for some decent front discs. Mine are still the original and on 60k miles but they won't see much more life with Red Stuff.

My CBS says that the fronts are due in 3500 miles but my stopping distance has already increased by a meter.

Thanks

I just installed drilled discs from nitrac racing. So far so good

I was thinking about drilled but on the S3... driving through some light flooding and country lanes... a few small stones got caught in the holes of the drilled disc and they absolutely destroyed the pad... uneven wear/accelerated wear... so I think ventilated/grooved will do the job... its only a crappy 218bhp daily battle wagon anyway..

Ultimax groove discs from the group buy? They should be matched to the higher friction compound of the Red and Yellow pads.
