I saw that and ordered a set. I have no idea how they will perform, but for 25 bux, had to try.

Remember that 97 brakes are 2 pads per caliper... I believe those are for facelift.

Default My 12/99 build uses 4. IIRC, they switched to 4 pads for 8/99 and subsequent builds.

I dont know why they have that pad listed for the 97 A8...

Reviews look pretty dismal if you ask me. Stock Pads dust a lot, but they do seem to last.

Default they are the "old" ones. Newer ones have the rotor re-surfacing top coat on them

I have EBC greens on my '98 (OEM rotors) and don't really care for them. Waiting for new rotors to change them out to hawks or OEM pads. I have had better luck with EBC reds back in the day on other Audis and my Scirocco with 11" Corrado front conversion.
