Unless you put Redstuffs in...had mine fitted yesterday. They come with an abrasive coating that aids the bedding in process - no squeal of course, if you are in UK then £171.12 fixes it (both front and back).
Hey realise this string is super old, where did you source the Redstuff pads from and fitted? I’m in the UK too and it’s appearing pretty tough.

Thanks in advance,

EBC Brake Shop have them on pre-order, and there are a few eBay sellers that have them for estimated delivery next week.

EBCs brake finder won't suggest redstuff for the RS4; only yellowstuff, but they do make the red in the same sizes

An Email from EBC back when I had my B9 RS4:

"I emailed the contact in EBC I had previously been conversing with, who today responded, in part:-

"...confirm we now have the front & rear pads for the S4 & RS4 in stock (they are the same pads). We only list the Yellowstuff for these cars but there is a Redstuff version available (these are listed for the A8), I have listed the part numbers below…

Front pads:
DP42277R (Yellowstuff)
DP32277C (Redstuff)

Rear pads:
DP42254R (Yellowstuff)
DP32254C (Redstuff)..."

The DP32277C (Redstuff) pad was the part # I was given by another person from EBC when I initially enquired about S4 pads in 2017.
So, upon further query, he just confirmed the same pads suit S4, S5, (not SQ5), Q7 & A8 (2017 onward ‘D5’ 3.0 hybrid models)."


My F3 RSQ3 with aluminium 6 pot calipers actually uses the same front pad as the RS4 and I've just passed the 15,000 mile mark with the pads in and no squeaks (F3 RSQ3 with the OEM pads also suffer from the dreaded squeal too - not exactly a surprise!).

Thanks, getting so many conflicting views on the Redstuff’s as for example one provider, DC Performance has said they are a different size to the Yellowstuff’s, but you guys have fitted them?
