Re: Brake Pads
I used to have DS2500 on my 4x4 Cosworth, great pads even for normal day to day driving, if i need to change pads on the RS it will be OEM or Ferodo

Re: Brake Pads
I'm now on Ferodo Premier all round and tbh for everyday driving and some spirited driving they seem fine compared to OEM and my last 2 sets of them I never wore down to the sensor anyway.

Re: Brake Pads
Audi have just confirmed that front brake pads for the C5 RS6 are NLA! Holy cow!
That's a service item, not a "rare & unusual" part.

Re: Brake Pads
Doesn't make any sense. It's the same pad for the B7 RS4.

Re: Brake Pads
Is that for definite - if so, I'll order some RS4 ones.
RS4 part number is looking like 8E0698151Q (that's for an 06-08, which I think is B7?) and shows as still available.
RS6 part number is 4B3698151A

Re: Brake Pads
Also shares the same pad as a fee of the lambo range aswell
However I'm not sure what the compound differences will be as the lambo undoubtedly weighs a lot less

Re: Brake Pads
What happened to the Dublin ones?
Pretty sure they are the same. Both RS4 and RS6 take the same DS2500 pad part number so it’s a fairly safe bet.

Re: Brake Pads
Some Lambos are fatties. The Murci weighs almost the same as the RS6.

Re: Brake Pads
Really
, I expected them too weigh the same as a wet teatowl . I know on the side of the box for my pads it listed a few fitments which is why I suggested the lambo route . I think were gonna have to start stockpiling parts sooner or later if they keep discontinuing them .Cheers Al

Re: Brake Pads
