Default If you have the Audi part numbers for the pads you can check with these guys

These guys usually get back in one evening with a quote. I've had good luck with them.<ul><li><a href="https://www.autopartsnationwide.com/">autopartsnationwide</a></li></ul>

Default You said they were he same pads, I said except another $115 because they are for an RS6...

it was a joke. S8 uses the same pads and they are $1095...another joke. Moral of story, don't buy them from Audi.

Default Calling ECS and Zeckhausen

This topic has gotten to be so challenging (choosing the right pad), I think I'm going to write about for my magazine job.

Thanks for the contacts...I'll be contacting ECS and Zeckhausen post haste.

Gotta get ready for Bullrun, baby!

Default Tell us what you find

The trick is getting pads that work on the front and rear, to keep the braking balance.
