OEM Brake pads
Re: OEM Brake pads
Interestingly, the OE pads for the C brakes are Brembo and they are just fine. It's all about the compound, not the manufacturer.

I agree, just look at the difference between the Pagids ECP will sell you VS the ones Audi will sell you.

Re: OEM Brake pads
Not sure if the retort was aimed at me. But I thought Bosch was a decent make ? Just trying to offer some assistance as I ran Bosch on the b5 rs4 with cayenne 6 pots and they were spot on. Has anyone tried the Bosch ?

Yeah, but you still have stock exhaust Shopp. Move with the times man, upgrade the brake pads.Shoppinit wrote:I'd go for the OE but I can't believe you can get the genuine ones for less than 200. Proper bargain if it's the case.

Re: OEM Brake pads
Don't take it personally, Human Joist. I is just being facetious, innit. Maybe the Bosch pads are good. It's easy to tell. Stick 'em on, do the bedding in procedure. If after 10 big stops your front end is not on fire, then they are probably OK. It's just that no cheap pad I have ever tried has been effective on the RS6.

Re: OEM Brake pads
Do the DS2500 not have the brass pin that the OEM Pagids have? That alone probably will persuade me over to the Frodos.
Re: OEM Brake pads
Don't think the OE pads still suffer from that.

Re: OEM Brake pads
What pads did you get in the end, Jay_g?
@JDL: Do you do DS2500 for the M3 e46? I'm in need of a set for upcoming track day.

I'm gonna take a punt with Ferrodos I think. I'm not gonna order till the end of the week, but I reckon I've swayed that way i think.
Or maybe I'll get OEM. I am undecided I think
His website list DS2500 for the e46:
Adding the discount code brings them down to £83.20 + shipping

Re: OEM Brake pads
That price is ex-VAT, though. Still a good price.

Re: OEM Brake pads
