Re: front brake pads
The OEM pads are more than adequate in my view, unless you're doing track days etc. Don't know how they compare price wise to other makes though.

Re: front brake pads
EBC yellow stuff are equal to or better than OEM in many peoples opinions and cost a lot less than OEM.
Re: front brake pads
I've recently fitted Redstuff Ceramic pads and they are excellent. No noise, very little dust and the same feel as OEM.
IMHO they're better than Yellowstuff.

Re: front brake pads
My yellowstuffs were good. I had them smoking profusely at Bruntingthorpe, a bit of fade from old fluid but the pads held out well.

Re: front brake pads
EBC call them their Redstuff Ceramic pads but NOT because they are ceramic brakes as such, merely that they use some ceramic in the Redstuff compound.
They are for use with standard normal steel discs:

Re: front brake pads
Do you know if the R8 ones fit? Only reason I ask is they are the exact same part number and less than £150 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AUDI-R8-4-2-4 ... 1c48587fccCycleSi wrote:EBC call them their Redstuff Ceramic pads but NOT because they are ceramic brakes as such, merely that they use some ceramic in the Redstuff compound.

Re: front brake pads
A good cheap pad is the ferodo premier pad - about £65 for a full front set. Worked fine for me as a stopgap until I went for Yellow Stuffs (which saw 2 track days and 3 'ring trips last year, and are still going strong).Harris. wrote:http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Audi_ ... 51a&000036
