Brakes - Options

[Avantgarde]

Mine squealed from day one, never went away.

How about Brembo brakes? If I'm not mistaken, the OEM brakes are made by Brembo but apparently there are different types of Brembos you can fit

I ran EBC Redstuffs in my B9 RS4 - front and back, improved pedal feel and the initial bite. Markedly improved the brake performance as OEM was 'underwhelming'. Mine was an ex Audi UK press car so had likely been hammered for the 1st 6,000 miles of its life so the brake performance may have not been truly representative.

When I had pads fitted to the current RSQ3 I noted that its actually the same pad at the front as the RS4. So better performance, negligible disc wear, no squeaks and little dust - not much not to like.

I've come to a B9 RS4 from a GR Yaris so maybe I am expecting too much, however, I would agree for something so quick and heavy the initial feel/bite does not inspire confidence.
