The box of fronts comes with 8 pads. The box of rears comes with 4 pads so i think that fills all the slots you'd need filling.

On second thoughts, I'll try these out first :)

All I need now is some cheap rear disks. I know it's possible to get the disks at a reasonable price. The (non network) dealer who supplied my RS6 had the front disks and pads changed and IIRC it cost him about £250 for the fronts. Audi parts.

I've ordered a full set. Had my front wheel off today to check the tyre and the pads and saw the little pins looked very close to the discs so think I'll change them rather than wait for the warning light!

I'm going to do it myself. I don't presume the calipers are any different to most others but if anyone has done it and has some tips then please let me know.

Just about to order the winter tyres up too.

The only slightly tricky thing is pushing out the retaining pins. They can break. Otherwise, it's pretty similar to any other car, I believe. I'll be finding out myself soon. I think my pads have started to score my disks :evil:

chaps,

just thought I'd check; when clicking on 'more info', the fronts are coming up as 'brembo' and the rears as 'lucas'. Will these still be the Mintex?
