You have a nice fast car. You don't have a Formula 1 car! They are brake pads. Dont overthink it! Lots of great brands out there. Pay for Brembo if you wish, but they are pretty average. Race pads are not necessary on the roads (constant heavy braking every 15-20 seconds). But nothing warrants paying almost £300 for pads that come in an Audi box? Most people won't even know what brand they have fitted, but will know their car brakes well. Your call.

VAG pads were £295. (Actually made by Pagid) The same brand pads were £44 from Europarts. Remember Audi don't make pads, they buy them in from numerous manufacturers. I got Discs and pads for around £120. Both from Pagid. Perfect for the last 20,000 miles. Absolutely no problems. Half an hour per side to fit them, simple!

S-Tronic = Very Good/Fast Change Multi-Tronic = Not Very Good/Slow Change. Slushbox nickname gives it away !

Thank you.

Been on Audi sport for a while but its very quiet. Member of Pistonheads and now here. Running a 3.0 S line A7 Quattro 2014. Had warped Front discs, reconditioned Mechronics box in the first 3 months. Since then all ok. Fingers crossed !
