ey oop all,
Finally got superb brakes fitted to my 94 s2 avant courtesy of Tim @ QRSport. After a couple of go's in his s2 and Karlos's with his Alcon set-up i was convinced. To me this is what the s2 should be like from standard. Although slightly vague from cold, the Hawk pads dont take long to warm up. Theres plenty of pedal feel and none of the wooden feel normally associtaed with uprated Brakes. The Calipers are 4-pot Outlaw used in the states by some of the Nascar teams and the pads are by Hawk of similar origin. Slowly gaining the confidence knowing i can brake later and deeper and still be able to haul up from ridiculous speeds gets a bit of getting used to, but im getting there most of journeys since the weekend have taken twice as long as normal though for some reaon dont know why Goodrich braided hoses front and rear with racing fluid was alos fiitted.
Bleeding the system after fitment turned into a complete ballache as my master cylinder turned out to be pogered
Alu subframe bushes and uprated wishbone were also fitted, these in conjunction with the QRsport top mount fitted the previous weekend have completely transformed the car, and i am absolutely over the moon. Anyone who knows me, knows im a (ahem) enthusiastic driver, and have been into cars and bikes since i was a kid, owning numerous quattros and other performance vehicles and this is the fisrt one since owning my UR that ive been really excited about driving, i absolutely love it, cant wait to get the coilovers fitted in the next few weeks and get it on track to really find its limits. Pics to follow as is a full article on the mods so far coming in audience (the audi owners club newsletter)
Big thanks have to go to Tim and the guys at QRSport, tim in paticular for his enthusiasm and knowledge and generally being a decent bloke. Thanks for the effort over the weeknd it is much appreciated you going out of your way to help. Cheers mate
Nice one
Gav
