Brake pads Centric or OEM Audi

Swap brake pads for your needs.

Yup. Many times. I use centric/raybestos on my race miata and on my dailies. I have been using the powerstop race pads too.

When I replaced my rear brake pads and rotors earlier this year - he straight up told me that the front pads were almost out but the rotors were good and since this particular dealership needed you to replace both together - he recommended a local German auto shop that would replace just the brake pads.

If my customers choose aftermarket, I always get

380mm centric high carbon rotors

Centric posi-quiet ceramic brakes.

The centric rotors are the absolute best bang for your buck.

I find paid results in comebacks, and oddly enough I get a lot of comebacks when I use brembo brake pads and rotors (they are 100% a different formulation than the land rover brembo OEM spec)

Centric Premium is my preferred brand, I have used them for years and they don’t warp.

Been running “Centric Posi Quiet Ceramic Brake Pads” since 2020 and nearly zero dust.

Get a set of Centric PQ (posi-quiet) pads and rotors. Way better than any of the big chain brick and mortar store offerings for less $ too

1.5 years ago a client was offered brake pads only with a 1 year warranty, no guarantee against noises or pulsations, or brake pads and rotors together with a 3 year warranty against noises and pulsations. They opted for the 1 year option on their fancy 2017 Audi because the rotors were stupid expensive.

Centric Posi-Quiet Ceramic Pads + Centric Premium Rotors

• Pros: Affordable, reliable, low dust

• Cons: Not a performance upgrade, but solid for daily driving

they're Audi pads, with Extra squeek!
