Need to replace my OEMs with some lower dust pads. Where to buy and what ones? Right now I only need to replace the front. For an 2006 A6 3.2

Try Pagid pads; check on–line suppliers such as www.autohausaz.com, www.blausparts.com, or www.genuineaudiparts.com (OEM parts supplier), for best prices.

www.importrp.com they sell low dust pads at awsome prices. just ordered hawk ceramics 2k miles ago and it was less that 200 bucks for front and rears. they also sell akebono for the front but they dont make them for the rears

someone else mentioned www.placeforbrakes.com as well. Some of the other places that came across in my research were www.ajusa.com and http://www.car-stuff.com/

I got a quote from my local shop for $200 to install everything i.e front/rear rotors and pads - does that sound reasonable?

Does anyone know how to get the colored brake thingie (caliper??) that is visible on inside the wheel? Do we just order something like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/4x-Re...Q5fAccessories

and replace the existing caliper??

Was this quote from an Audi shop or Indy?

We carry a selection of pads. Feel free to call or email if you have any questions!

Indy shop (www.sonicms.net) - they did my suspension install.

if youre looking for low dust than try akebono and hawk. barely any visible dust on my wheels. stopping power is awsome and no noise

That's a good quote...

Make sure they have experience with Audi brake replacements and own a Vag Com to "unlock" the rear brakes (electronic parking brake).

sounds like they probably do, but doesn't hurt to ask
