Default I assume most of these are available for the S4, ...
at least S4 and S8 rear pads are identical. The link was my response to the same question in the A8 forum.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a8/msgs/81590.phtml">A8/S8 brake pads</a></li></ul>

Default Simply this...
pads care covered by warranty, so why replace them when the car stops fine and they are covered...painting calipers was just thrown in there...nothing to do with warranty.

Default I have Axxis Ultimates and they work great, but dust like crazy. I'd like to see what people say
about Carbotech pads.

Well, except when tracking and heat becomes a limiting factor.

Default the reds seem to leave more pad deposits on the rotors than any other. They're on my car as well,
and I can't wait to remove them.
