Discs & Pads All Around

Post by Housemaster » Thu Jun 09, 2011 2:00 pm

Chaps,

I want to do a full replacement of my discs and pads on my RS4 (97K miles and still going) and wondered what is the best priced source for OEM products is, which I intend to replace myself rather than paying Audi for consumable work. The discs are tired with a good lip on them and fronts were done around 50K miles back, I think rears are still the originals! I've had the car for 4 years and bought it with 11K on the clock so do I win a medal for the highest mileage example?

Trying to get the important bits done and then sell, but the car needs a few bits to make the sale smooth so plan to get them done so it's less for the new owner to worry about/consider come purchase time really. I know it's probably not the most cost effective way, but I feel happier getting the brakes sorted.

Housey
