Yea I went about a year rolling up to stop lights in my 157k (msrp) turbo s and people would always give me dirty looks. So gauche. Thing sounded like a freight train. Perhaps the most infuriating aspect of the whole thing was that the dealers kept telling me to do 4-5 hard stops in a row - all this did was warp the rotors.

Anyway yea don't buy the oem brembo pads anymore. Performance is good but they sound like sh*t.
Ive wanted to do this, but has anyone found a specific pad that fir the F85 and is sufficient?
