And what are the approximate costs for a front set? Both from Audi and car part sites?

In Sweden I saw the price for the front approx 700GBP and Rear 500GBP, is that about right? They are TRW GDB1989.

Do they last longer than pads on a normal steel set up?

Someone mentioned on this site that at 100k miles there ccb pads were checked and were at 50% wear. Front are £436 and rears £362
