Cant see the rears in the sale..... Looks like a good price for front set.

£85 for pagid pads here which will be identical to the ones that are supplied in an Audi box that you throw away that are also made by Pagid.

i think eurocarparts have bought the normal cheap made in china pagid "brand" side of the business.
pagid racing is a separate company, they supply audi oem and make proper pads and are still made in germany i think?.

Speak to Graeme (Wallachie) on the forum. He done me a front set of Ferodo Premiere's for £75 and the equivalent rears for £45........Delivered!!!

I went with a Brembo set through Kwik Fit with a lifetime guarantee (effectively 2 for 1)

They have been on for quite a while now and I have noticed no difference between them and OEM except under very heavy breaking they are a little better.

Recorded the mileage when fitted and when I get my second free set to change I will post how long they lasted so it can be compared to other brands.

Might be worth looking at Halfords with their current deal although I haven't read their T & C brake pads and shoes for life!

+3 Lol! Indeed, I briefly ran a set of these and as soon as they got a bit of heat in them they stopped working. Cheap for a reason....

I thought the standards were <beep> too hence going for DS2500. You get what you pay for i totally agree and Pagid is not on my list these days.

That wasn't standards you posted a link to, that was cheap china copy's hence my comment. Standard b7 brakes are terrible imo

my bad! i know standards are pagids though! must be a different compound bit as you say the standards are still terrible! was the first thing i changed when i got the car! all that weight with the power and not much stopping it was not an option!

Shows how easy a mistake it is to make though doesn't it? Think how many people actually buy them? Massive downfall of the b7 was the brakes, I made the switch to ceramics quite quickly

The ones advertised by youngben with the link is from a Sponsor on here I think, Philip walker. He owns an rs5 himself. His products are well respected on here I thought. Surely he wouldn't recommend something so inferior as an equivalent to oem ??? And don't the yellow stuff pads cost around £100 too (front pair) ..?

They are inferior pads there's been several people who have used them and ditched them quickly
