Brake Pads

Post by **rickoshea** » Fri Jul 18, 2008 2:37 pm

Does anyone know what front fast road pads are available for the RS4 B5 running OEM disks / calipers ? Apart from the OEM pads that is....

If anyone has fitted Mintex M1144 or Ferodo DS2500's for instance and has the part numbers to hand I would be most grateful.

Internet searches have not come up with much tbh.

I'm in the same boat, have TRD's at the moment since I purchased the car (they were new on) and they're rubbish...

Ferodo DS2500's highly recommended by dace, who tracks his car - very good pad and very little brake dust... my next pads once my current ones have worn down.

Ferodo are the business. I can highly recommend them. No fade at all on road and track and they bite well from cold...

AFAIK you can't get DS2500 for std set up...

Bar steward!!

Anyone with any other suggestions of some decent pads for standard B5 set up?? Preferably similar quality to the DS2500's?

I finally managed to find the following Mintex ( M1144 compound ) code for stock RS4 B5 front brakes :

MDB1746

from Mintex own website - more details here :

Brake Pad Set, disc brake
Trade Numbers: 21484, 21485
Fitting Position: Front Axle
Width: 194,5 mm, Height: 73,5 mm, Thickness/Strength: 20,8 mm, Wear Warning Contact: Prepared for wear indicator, Brake System: Teves

Can anyone confirm that the pad dimensions quoted above are correct ?

( Mintex also quote Audi's OE part number as 8N0698151D - also used on the TT 3.2 / BMW Z8/750/740 amongst others )

Cheers

Do the Pagid's or Mintex have the trip-wire built in to turn off the Brake Pad Warning in the DIS?

Pagids have the sensors.

has anyone tried the mintex pads MDB1746?

Apparently EBC make pads that fit too - ' Red Stuff ' compound. Just under the £100 mark - which compares rather well with the standard OEM Audi stealers price of £183.60

Dace stated above that the standard Audi pads are made by Pagid ? Be surprised as they seem to have little bite to me. Pagid have a good name in the Porsche fraternity....

My brake pad of choice would be Performance Friction. If only they made a pad for the stock RS4 B5 calipers.....they do make a pad for the RS4 B7 calipers though.
