Performance Brake Upgrade for my Audi B9 S4! *TRACK READY*

[@DailyDownshift]

Super excited for our upcoming track day with this new brake kit! Will let you guys know how they feel under heavy driving. Any questions let me know!

[@matt02468]

How did these hold up at a track day? Did you do ebc’s bedding procedure (which sounds a bit crazy to me)?

[@DailyDownshift]

@@matt02468 They did alright but I do want to try another brand of pad just to compare

[@matt02468]

@@DailyDownshift i am hoping to try these on the track this summer. thanks.

[@ballforlife360]

one tip for everyone, if you have audi care or have gotten a brake fluid flush, open your brake fluid resovoir, this is a good practice on all cars anyways when doing brakes, when you push those pistons back and someone has topped up the resovoir say 1-2 years after you got your brakes done, the fluid will now be coming back up and try to push through the cap, don't ask me how i know lol

[@theadamdude445]

Loving all the content you're putting out! For the longest time, we’ve been severely lacking in installation content for the b9 platform. Great to finally see it and watch this build progress!

[@DailyDownshift]

Greatly appreciated! It's an awesome platform to work on

[@ax23xr]

awesome video, clear and detailed steps! will definitely be of help when I replace my rotors and pads on my B9.5 S5 SB. do you have a video replacing the rear rotors and pads? that would also be helpful 😅

[@AudiSportDre]

Did you bed them in properly? Very important

[@Legionxstudios]

Want me some cross driller and slotted rotors now too

[@cammgt3rs370]

Dude a ton of people who track would not recommend cross drilled rotors for track. But let me know if they crack or not. Get Girodisc or DBA Australia rotors.

[@Northwesterner]

If you actually think slotted rotors don't crack, it is not possible for you to be more mistaken. I can send anyone here a pdf file with like 12 pictures in it of cracked slotted rotors--some of them HORRIBLY cracked---like "almost cracked in half"....the notion that "crossdrilled rotors crack and slotted ones don't" is a gigantic crock of BS. And 99pct of of the crossdrilled rotors that DO crack it is because the lousy, uninformed manufacturer/ machinists didnt chamfer the holes enough. That chamfering on the holes isnt to "make them look prettier"--it's for one reason only----stress mitigation. 99% of the rotors you find out ther that have cracks it is because the idiots who milled them put either no chamfering or nowehere -near-enough chamfering on them. Period.

[@Shulcyo]

I literally thought the same. Dont know if cross drilled are any good even for daily

[@tonyyy3173]

Just bought the same brake kit!!!

[@darrinscoilsclouds1498]

"look at that a" your maple leaf boxers were showing😂

[@amill1563]

Nice to swap out older parts for new performance parts!

[@DailyDownshift]

Agreed!

[@HandleCarefully925]

What are the specification/part number of those brake pads? They look cool.

[@badasspearldrummer]

Ordered mine last night. Got drilled and slotted for the rears too. Not ECS though. I spent the money this time. I’ll see if it was worth it or not

[@ccherri]

What are those 2 triple square bolts for?

[@ratspam7655]

11:27 How can new parts possible out perform worn out brake pads and rotors?!?

[@shautohaus]

Interested on how long the pads lasted after going to the track. Putting on EBC Yellows myself on a B9 S5.

[@m.ridwaan7721]

Nice 💪

[@benjaminl4524]

How are these holding up? About to order these for my b9 s5

[@lav773]

Nice 👊

[@cicada3312]

i love your content

[@nicholasvincent8720]

What are your impressions after track use?

[@empireanglers8604]

and also, how heavy is that rubber mallet? Looking to get one on amazon

[@DailyDownshift]

That one was really light, I think 16oz. I suggest getting a slightly heavier one

[@empireanglers8604]

@@DailyDownshift Thanks man! Now on a mission to find the proper lubricant

[@empireanglers8604]

Hey, what did you use to clean those shims?

[@DailyDownshift]

Pretty sure I just used wheel cleaner

[@stevegivelas9769]

What was weight difference between oem and 2 peace ?

[@DailyDownshift]

Not sure, forget to weigh them. However, if you're looking to save more weight ECS offer a lightweight version as well

[@bassterritory1479]

You need to drive them easy first 300km..

[@shuamn2866]

The rotors are backwards.

[@xTryHardPanda]

How many miles were on your car?

[@DailyDownshift]

38k km

[@DarkRobin190]

note to anyone following along, he put the discs on the wrong side, slotted discs are always sided and typically labelled left/right, Also there's no need to put your dirty hands on the brake pad surface and contaminate them, also no need to remove the wiring loom that far back for the wear sensor, just unplug it at the connector block dude

[@ShebanFPV]

No, he did not. They are correct way.

[@DarkRobin190]

​@@ShebanFPVcheck again, do some research, and let me know when you realise you're wrong

[@cammgt3rs370]

REMEMBER ON YOUR B9 S4 GET EBC BLUE STUFF NOT YELLOWS FOR TRACK USE.

[@shriefh]

Is that based on experience? I'd like to know more coz I had the yellow stuff and tracked the car once and the front pads were gone!!!

[@cammgt3rs370]

@@shriefh honestly if you can get the orange stuff for your car they are even better. Yellow stuff are crap.

[@lav773]

How much 😬 £900 🤔
