Default No, they both look the same like that. Well if your EBC pads look like that then I'm not going
to sweat it. Guess I'll cancel my PBR brake pad order. The braking is perfect, there is no pedal "give" and they don't struggle to stop when wet. They're FAR better than the last pads that had a delay when wet.

That could very well be it. Like I said above, my braking is very acceptable for the pads.

Default oh ok. yea, probably not a problem.
i'm really happy with my new a8 setup as well. definitely notice the difference in the wet with the non-oem pads.

Default they all start out that way until you wear past the chamfering.
Pick up a brand new pad and look at it. It isn't flat.
