£599 for brake pads

[Gazbo109]

I have just called Audi to get a price for Front pads for my RS3 , To be told £599 ****** hell haha

Anyone have any links to just as good pads but not so expensive ?

Thanks

Speak to Trevor at RFT

My old 8V was the development car for Ferodo Performance pads.

Or as an alternative

You could try DBA extreme pads

I ran these on my second set of Reyland discs just to see what they were like.

They take over 1000 miles to properly bed in and at one point I nearly took them off, but my god when they did bed in, superb pads.

But front pads have always been expesnive as you need so many.

For my 2017 RS3 saloon last year, I tried lots of places including main dealers and they all were fairly similar prices for either stock front disks/pads or stock front disks/ uprated pads eg Ferrodo DS2500. All were approx £1300-1500. In fact, the main dealer were the cheapest.

I used an independent. Think the Ferrodo pads were £400, Audi OEM discs £800 (as aftermarket are no better/worse), fitting £100 ish

Dont think £599 is too bad

If you haven't got any already I went for OE Brembo pads. I went for their 'XTRA' setup (road use with grooved/drilled discs) P85152X is the P/N

One caveat: I have not tried them yet as I am waiting for discs but from the pads I have on other cars I have no concerns. Can be had for well under £200/axle set if you hunt around.
