Why not??
As with other posts/threads on brake pads - its known that the pads from the rs6 may also be listed as fitting the rs4 but actually don't as they need the locating hole filed slightly.

Work fine on my car.

...and as with other posts, you'll find as many people thinking it's unsafe as those who like the idea

Personally, there's plenty of parts I'd rather alter than the pads

I'm going to have my wheels off in the next day or two, can anyone tell me what the minimum disc and pad thicknesses are?
