Hi i have an A3 1.8t quattro sport 180bhp

I am looking for some advice on what discs and pads to get, this is the fourth year i have had the car now and i need my fourth set of discs and pads as they keep warping (i am hard on the brakes). any advice???

What is your budget? Pgarner on here put some Porsche Disks on his, which worked out cheaper than buying new aftermarket parts.

What size rims do you have? This has a bearing on the biggest size disc you can fit.

i have 18" rs8 alloys on there, i can spend around £150-£200 for discs and pads
cheers

A set of front pads costs me more than that LOL.

See if your local breakers yard have any Porsche discs available.

TBH your budget is not going to get much, I've always been told "buy cheap, buy twice" and this might be why you are burning through them. Which ones are your going for at the moment?

Are they drilled and vented and grooved? I've known that some drilled discs are more prone to warping and splitting than solid ones.

Pagid pads are well respected on the Audis.
