Standard discs and pads on mine and they're fine. Some members upgrade if they're doing track days etc.

EBC yellow pads for me with standard discs. I find them a little better than OEM and cheaper.

Don't do it they are <beep>.

My car had them on when i got it. I now have OEMs and they are far better.

The pagid ones have no initial bite, its like a lillte delay before anything happens, nighmare in traffic.

I've always used Pagid, never had any problems, on M5/M3, Porsche... Seems odd these would be any different!

Pretty sure there are 2 different types of Pagid pads for the RS4. These ones have been reported on here many times as being awful.
