Brake pad and plugs questions
Discussion
want to upgrade pads on my urS6 Avant. Just put in new hoses and fluid and want more stopping power without big spend. Green stuff suitable or do you know of better?
Also what best plugs to go for as chipped up to 270 with tad more boost. Any idea best gap to set for best results?
cheers for any info

NOT Green Stuff. Please no. They're just an expensive OE equivalent.
Zillions of people will disagree with me, but I had Red Stuff with OE discs for 10k miles in my last car and I loved them - best pads I've ever had. At cold (and I mean first stop at -3 deg) they aren't great, but they're no worse than any other pad. Once warm though, they stop like anchors, with little fade.
A lot of people advocate Yellow Stuff, but they're specifically sold as track use pads, and I can't imagine they get up to track temperature - and best performance - with everyday driving.
