Brake pads Brembo or OEM Audi

We use (and sell / stock) the Brembo rotors and sport (HP2000) pads. Better performance than stock, perfectly streetable and equally capable for track days or tarmac rally. Great value too

I had EBCs on my 2010 for about 40k miles and liked them. Switched to brembos 2 weeks ago and they aren’t as good. They’ll last longer though I’m sure with less dust. I wouldn’t say it’s overkill, it’s a big vehicle and you can’t put a premium on stopping faster especially if you do any towing.

I replaced the front rotors and pads with factory Brembo at 45k. When the rears needed replacement at 55k, I replaced the front and rear rotors and pads with PowerStop Z26. Couldn’t be happier with the swap - less dust and better stopping than stock.

Got a 2014 DSG and find around town it’s 22-26 mpg but 35 on long motorway runs.

Just replace the rears with the same brake pads aftermarket really suck. They do wear out fast but their worth it. Rotors get them Online their about $250 for two rear rotors and brake pads runs around $300 for the Euro pads for the Dynamic Edition.

Zimmermann cross-drilled rotors and Brembo pads were ironically the best priced option for my car lol.

I got Brembo pads for my 2012 S550. Under $200CAD for front and rear Brembo pads

Brembo and Zimmermann are nice. Used them on a couple vehicles me and my family owned. No complaints.

OE benz brakes have small depressions drilled in to the face of the rotors. When those disappear, you need new brakes. If you see dimples, go on to the next square...I have a 2019 C43. Second set of pads front, Second set rear, 106k miles. My wear indicators are almost gone, so I have a set of OE brembo rotors and Benz pads sitting on the shelf. I am waiting for the dashboard warning light...front and rear have a sensor that will alert you when you are almost done.

Same! This was after they quoted me over the phone that it would be $800. Fuck the dealership. Try to find you a good, honest mechanic. When you do, hold on to them tight and never let go.

Ended up paying $1,600 for all 4 pads and rotors on my 2016 STI.
