My B8 RS4 needs new pads. Plus the rear discs are lipped. Currently running stock parts.

What are peoples current recommendations for brake setups?

Stock discs and pads for me - all good. And endless street pads on my mr2 which are great - had to get them from Japan tho. Think they make pads for the RS but not sure if they come with wear indicators

Replaced the front discs and pads with patterned wavys and ferodos from Autodoc. Cost about £800 plus fitting.

Absolutely spot on for me. I do push on a fair bit, but the standard spec was good enough for me so wasn’t looking for an upgrade.
