[s-cars] For Those of You Who have BIRA'ed

[Lino M. Valadas]

Ok,  since we're on the subject of System 3 parts,  I have a system in place
on my S4 93 and will have to get new pads shortly.  What are the best (non
squealing) street pads for it?

Some time down the road I will also need new rotors.  Again who is the best
source for those Euro A8's?  The guy I got mine initially is totally
unreliable and I don't want to go back there.

TIA

Lino
