Just had my S4 serviced and been told the front pads are 80% worn and the disks are lipped and therefore need to be replaced.

Thought this would be a good time to see what upgrade uptions there are, especially as Audi have quote around £500 for the new disks and pad.

So anyone know of what upgrade options there are out there please.


Thanks

I've been looking at this for about a year!

I've just found out RS4 brakes fit under 18" OEM wheels. AMD are doing fronts fitted for about £2k.

Otherwise you can get some Carbotech pads (type depending on use) and change your fluid.

All depends what use you need them for.

2K seems expensive. Parts on the dear side I would say £1500 + 2 hours labour

Audi's RRP on the front setup is £1884.61 inc. VAT

Maybe, but they can be easily bought from many places for under £1500

Indeed and that's what I'm working on.

Try DSGWAGEN on ebay. Works for VW but can get Audi parts

Call 01302 364141 and ask for Rob. All parts come with a VAG invoice so also a 2 year warranty

Cheers for that. I have a couple of lines open at the moment including an Audi employee. I'll see how they pan out first.

Thanks - its mainly for road use, may do the odd track day. Just that as i need new disks i thought i would look at the cost to upgrade seeing as Audi want £500 for the standard disks and pads.

Anyone used / heard of EBC brakes - they do red stuff pads for £90 full set (both front wheels) dont do the disks though

EBC red stuff are sh1te IMO.
Had them breifly in the fron of my evo 6, such a poor stopping pad. I removed them and upgraded to the DS2500 pad from Ferrodo. Alot better , great feel too. I used the same type of pad in the AP6 pots that i later upgraded to also.

Took an awefull lot of 'spirited'use, and stopped the 420bhp410ft/lbs well
