Brake pads STOPTECH or OEM Audi

To me it looks like brake pad material on your rotors due to your street pads melting. Slap a new set a cheap pads on there from Autozone or something and drive it for a week or two that material should come off. As long as you don’t have vibration while braking they should still be good. Just make sure to use track pads next time. I personally run StopTech 309 pads because they’re good on track and street

I got Stoptech Sport pads that I've used on track and street for many years.

I know it’s not a Q7, but I’ve got a 2019 C8 A6 and recently had my read pads replaced by an independent, £275 but that also included my MOT at the same time.

I run StopTech Sport pads on my E92 M3 and they hold up very well for a dual duty pad. I prefer them over the other options listed.

The StopTechs Sports are the better track and street option, I used the front pads in my E46 M3 for 10k+ street miles and a few trackdays. They have good feel and modulation. Just had a little bit of fade towards the end of a 25 minute session.

They handle brake fade quite well. Did a run down tail of the dragon and had no issues.

I’ve been happy with my StopTech Sport pads.

My two biggest issues in my car is the lack of horsepower and the brakes.

There was a noticable increase in stopping power, but it came with a significant increase in brake dust. They also started squealing recently. I recently checked the pad life and it's been okay. So far I've put 10k on em, and I'm estimating that 1/3 to 1/2 of their life has been used

brakes (twice in 26k km, which is crazy stupid - the car didn't get a lot of mileage during COVID, but their brakes are stupid cheap and rust just looking at them when it rains).
