    Brake options for UFO UrS4

    Hi guys,

    I just want to get info from you guys about options for braking on my S4.
    Ideally I wouldn't want to change the struts or the original "16 Fuchs.
    What are my options?
    Where can I get OEM parts (UFO rotors etc.) and what would I pay?
    What upgrade options do i have and what would I pay?
    What pads would you recommend?
    Sorry for all the questions but I am quite new to the scene...

    Thanks in advance

    ufo discs are dealer only i would say, your other options would be the later hp2 setup found on the s6, or an upgrade to porsche brakes via corey on here, depends on your budget.

            Thanks for that corey.
            How much would a conversion from you cost and is it worth it if I'm not a racer

                I'm not having any problems with mine so far...... As I said, I dont do track-days or racing of any sort.... I'm more likely to drive to slovakia and back than use the car on a track.

                  i would agree that they aren't best disc in the world, i put new ones on a few years back when i had my s4 avant, marginal is the best way to describe them under hard braking. the good side is you don't remove the caliper to change them.
