- In today's video we finally got around to installing some PowerStop Drilled & Slotted rotors on our 2016 Audi S3. Along with the rotors we went ahead and installed Powerstop's Carbon Fiber Ceramic brake pads for that extra stopping force! This install can be done on an Audi A3, S3, VW GTI and Golf R. This is a pretty simple job and can be done by anyone who has the right tools and takes the proper precautions!

*Typo* the rear caliper bolts are not a “7mm triple square” it’s actually a 7mm Allen key!
Good video, thanks. I read some forums and the brakes sounded more complicated due to the e-brake etc. but you made it look easy.
Thank you! And honestly they’re not too complicated it’s just a matter of retracting them via scanner or Obd11. Forcing them back with a brake caliper reset tool will damage them and cause error codes. But I’m glad we can make it seem easy because it truly isn’t hard! Any questions feel free to ask
Your video is better than fcpeuro. Thank you for this! I'll be doing mine this weekend on my a3 with the same kit. I've always used power stop on all my vehicles. Their brakes are awesome and you can't beat the price
Coming in so clutch. THANK YOU!! Was already planning on doing my brake job on my 2015 s3 in a couple weeks.
No problem! Thank you for watching!!
@@RatchetWrenches Isn’t it a 7mm hex bit for the rear caliper? I think you accidentally said 7mm triple square. Please let me know! Want to make sure I have the right tool
@@thegingerbreadmahn shoot you’re right it’s a 7mm hex that’s my fault I’ll have to change that. For the caliper it’s 7mm hex, and then the bracket is a triple square
@@RatchetWrenches sweet!! Thanks man
Awesome video!
Thank you!
bro im curious what do u do for a living? i just got my 2017 audi s3 for Christmas love your vids ! completely new to car modding lol love this car though!
I’m actually ab auto technician certified in VW but just actually took a job with Audi. So I’m in the industry! But nice man! You’ll love the car if you haven’t fallen in love already haha, they’re such a fun car and with modding it you’ll get some serious power out of them! Thanks for all the support 🙏
Good brake upgrade those disc’s look sick
Thanks yeah it was a much needed upgrade
You do realise that the S3 logo cap on the callipers literally pops off out the way it’s only held onto the caliper via 4 push pins. Take it off an the brake wind back tool works 😊
I guess Austin didn't realize that at the time. Thanks for the tip!
What about GLI
Hi ! Just a question does your rotors come witha stiker or sign to know which is left or right, it seams to me that the groves or crossdrill holes had to go the other way..
Hey there! Yeah each Rotor atleast for this brand came with a sticker indicating which side it went on!
Hey bro.your video teach me a lot ..in my 2016 s3..I want to go stage 2..I have a question for you..I'm doing my rotors like yours..I have a obd 11to open parking break..where do I go on it
Glad to be able to help out! And I actually have a video on Obd11 and I do show how to access the caliper adjustment to allow new brakes. But you have to go into diagnostic If I recall correctly, then brakes, then open up the caliper. There might be a video on CZcams regarding it aswell
OK 👍 thanks alot...and put out more videos about any mods you doing to the s3 ..I love it....great cars
@@clivethompson2359 no problem! And thanks for watching. We have plenty more mods coming in the near future
how do these hold up 2 years later? thanks!
They are still great!
Can be installed on GTI Mk6 ?
Not this particular set but they do have ones that for you car yes
Hey quick question, I bought the same setup same car 2015 S3, I read that some people have clicking noises while braking due to the slotted and drilled rotors hitting the pads. Did you notice this? I am installing mine this weekend.
I have these clicking and clunking noises on a mk7 golf r with this brake kit. TBH if you are sensitive to NVH, it's pretty annoying, you hear it all the time maneuvering at low speed. Would not buy again.
Never had an issue with this nope. Could be a defect in the product or another issue at hand
@@RatchetWrenches awesome thanks. I'll break them in and hopefully pretty quiet. Great videos btw.
Rotors and pads installed, no clunking or any type noise coming outta them did the breaking in period right away. Quiet as can be and work amazing. Great video once again. Thank you big help. Not sure why others are clicking etc. even at slow speeds mine are quiet.
@@TylerBC18 good job! Wish I knew why mine are so noisy, both the shop that installed them and the local dealer say the sounds are normal and caused by poor fitment. Guess I need to go somewhere else to get the job done right.
340mm or 370mm ??
Mine was 340
Just be carefull about what type of grease you put on guide pins. Bottom guide pin has rubber sleeve which likes to swell if the proper grease is not used. Always use TRW PFG110 grease or just remove the sleeve. If it swells it will seize guide pin which will lead to constant brake pad and disc contact. It wil overheat discs and squeak.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
but you are an expert from God. This decorative cover is removed very easily and simply. no need to buy a special tool. I would just take the cover off and that's it.😂
What are you referring to?
Only one problem your rotors are on backwards🤔
I think it's impossible to put rotors on backwards and then drive the car 😂
@@RatchetWrenches
Just CZcams how to install drills slotted rotors. FYI it’s not impossible they will fit just right even if they are backwards. Trust me just to look it up. Or just ignore me and keep doing your it’s your money and your life anyway👍🏿
