Brake pads OEM Audi or Duralast

I've used duralast (gold) brakes on every car I've owned. Never had a problem. Only issue was the tabs on a few pads have been too big and I needed to file down 1/16" or so to make them seat smoothly in the slots. Quality seems good to me.

2016 fiesta st. Duralast Gold (DG886) PADS

powerstop is good but honestly i always suggest duralast golds they're good and the warranty is good

No. Looks perfectly normal.

I have a 2021 District Green Q5e / tan interior and it has been a fantastic car for my use case. 55% City driving means little to no gas use with home charging. Lots of road trips too, it’s a fast highway cruiser. 50k miles so far.

Brakes will last forever since I use so much regen.

Upgraded brake pads can be louder and dirtier.

They currently have sales on their duralast branded ones and even hand bundle sales. Duralast won’t be the best, but guarantee it’s better than those sawdust with grey spray can paint pads.

Unless you thrash your car and don\u2019t care about it, a full brake+tire/alignment service at 30k is wild.

they're Audi pads, with Extra squeek!
