Hi need to get new front brake pads for my RS4 Avant B7 can anyone recomend the best option or are the audi supplied pads just as good? Thanks

Can i be cheeky and ask the same question please??????

I wouldnt mind an alternative that doesnt create as must dust as the standard ones!! A trip round the village and the fronts need cleaning again!

i have been running ebc yellow stuff for the last 10 months and in my opinion they have been exellent but to get the maximum effect you need to run them on the rear as well and very low dust it just's rinses off

I can second EBC Yellow.

I fiited them 6 months ago and the only difference i can see from the standard pads (Aaprt from being £50 cheaper), is that there is much less dust. I still have the standard pads on the rear.

Avoid ebc pads they are poo id go for pagid pads same as stock you can get them from euro car parts quite cheap, well cheaper than getting them from audi or tps and they they are same or pagid RS but i dont know what they are like

Has anyone tried any the ones from JHM, was thinking of maybe the ceramic ones?

A third for EBC Yellowstuff, fitted them about 15k miles ago and have beenfine. Little brake dust, better bite and retardation that the OEM Pagid's. The only thing I will say about them is that they work better after a bit of abeaing and some eat in them, Repeated light braking around town and mine will squeek quicker then the Pagids.

As much as people say Ferrodo DS2500 they don't have front pad wear sensors and I know you can bypass the loop but to be fair it has a wear sensor system for a reason and I'd like to keep using it.

Those who say no to EBC, greenstuff and redstuff I would concure but yellowstuffs are not in the same category.

Approx. £220 for fronts and rears from Camskill.

thanks guys

+1 for Ebc yellow stuff
They had a bad name many years ago but have really turned around their compounds and are spot on in my opinion.
We ran them as an upgrade pad on our Impreza with 12-pot brake conversion at the 'ring and spa and had no problems whatsover.

PM me if you want prices but can easily offer probably the best rates in the UK for these and other leading brands:)

EBC yellow stuff have been "ok" so far, apart from one of the sensor wires coming out, they can cook off really easily, as above you hardy get any break dust due to the larger grain. still pit the discs.

I will be trying Ferados next
