Brake pads Project Mu or OEM Audi
Consider Project Mu Club Racers. They’re not the most aggressive pads but hold up decently well on track depending on your pace and are surprisingly streetable.
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
I had a brake job done a few months ago for the A4 with Audi for 1000 EUR. Just got the quote for the same job on the Q7 and it is 2300 EUR.
I just did the brakes on my Audi. Front was easy, back needed a compression tool to push the piston back and an OBDII module/app to retract the electric brakes. It’s easier than my old Nissan or the Volvo XC90 I had before the Audi.
They quoted me $8k for standard brakes on my RS5. Bought all the parts myself for $2600 and did it myself ????
I'd like to add brake jobs are fairly simple too. The front pads in my 2016 Q5 were the easiest of any car I've ever owned.
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.
Brake dust- so much brake dust.
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.
Unless you thrash your car and don\u2019t care about it, a full brake+tire/alignment service at 30k is wild.
