Default PBR Ceramics.

I hated the Mintex pads I had on before these.

Don't know about Pagid.<ul><li><a href="http://www.ecstuning.com/stage/edpd/pagebuild_v2.cgi?make=Audi&amp;engine=4.2&amp;mode l=A8&amp;submodel=Quattro&amp;category=Braking&amp ;subcategory=Pads">I got mine here.</a></li></ul>

Default I also have PBR ceremaics and like them. Axxis Ultimates are the same pads

Pagid is made by Bendix of Europe, OE level with lots of brake dust.

Default Mine aren't. And the Mintexes I had, were.

Which surprised me, as the Mintexes I had on the A6 weren't a problem, were a good pad there.

Had Mintex Red on my A4; dust- and noise-free. But similar "bite" to OE pads

Default I only have about 200 miles on them and They have never squeeled.

I changed all rotors and pads but they are xdrilled and sloted and they are still silent. When installing pads, you really need to lube the caliper slides and clean the channels that the pads sit in.
