I personally like the Brembo SR they work both cold/wet and hot, they're noticeably better than the SA pads they have.
The M-Sport brakes are more than a pretty face. There is so much stopping power. A car this size has no business being able to decelerate this fast, yet anytime you push the pedal, there’s always more to be had. I don’t think I’ve driven a car of any size that can compare to the kung-fu grip that those Brembos have. Paired with the 22’ wheels, ABS is almost irrelevant because there’s no locking, just stopping.
The original discs/pads are an insane ripoff. They want something in the range of 600-700€ for a (front) set. I ordered a set from Brembo for ~260€. It felt the same.. No difference in how it felt/braked etc.
I found the front brakes (brembo) and the rear for 109 and 99. They\u2019re better brakes and then the factory organic bs brakes and will take me an hour of my time to do.
Brembo factory replacement are OEM equivalent or better
I would go with Brembo or some other reputable performance brakes before I’d ever consider 7k for Audi brakes lol.
I put brembo pads and discs last time and I got about 4 years out of them before gave up (I'm pretty hard on them).
Just wish they didn’t squeal…..
Brembos are very overrated I’ve had them on 6 different cars now and holy the brake dust is insane would not recommend
I and most would recommend against getting the stock Brembo pads. They are far too soft and when they heat up, excess material sticks to the rotor causing the shaking under braking eventually.
