Samme oplevelse havde jeg. Pris for skift af bremser og klodser p\u00e5 A6 2017 for et par \u00e5r siden. Pris hos Audi 8000kr eller dero mkring. Smed p\u00e5 autobutler og fik en pris p\u00e5 2500kr

Pros: billigere pris andetsteds
Cons: dyr pris hos Audi
Vehicle: Audi A6

Check Rockauto. I replaced my brakes about 2 years ago with Dynamic Friction Geospec coated rotors and Bosch quiet cast pads. Still in great condition and stops on a dime.

Pros: great condition, stops well

I swear by Bosch quietcast. I’ve done cheap brands before but seem to squeak, fade, or make too much dust.

Pros: quiet, less dust
Cons: squeak, fade

As a good example, we were surprised to learn that the brakes were shot at just 33k miles. A quote to replace everything with OEM was insanely expensive... around $6k if I recall correctly.

Pros: premium vibe
Cons: brakes shot at 33k
Vehicle: Audi SQ7
Mileage: 33000 km

Ditching my 2024 SQ5 for something without throttle lag and brakes that you have to press through the floor to engage. Audi says “drives as designed” and nothing they could do so I’m out.

Cons: throttle lag, poor brakes
Vehicle: Audi SQ5
