Save your expensive factory rotors!
Factory Audi RS4 front brake pads have metal retaining pins embedded in the friction material. In theory, these are supposed to be soft enough to wear with the pads. In reality, they dig into your expensive rotors and can ruin them, even if your pads are only 50% worn and BEFORE your pad wear sensor is triggered.
Stock Audi RS4 Pads - 50% Worn
|
The stock pads start out with about 11mm of thickness, not including the backing plate. It doesn't take long for the rivets to become exposed and your rotors to become scored. To preserve your stock rotors and dramatically reduce the brake dust turning your wheels black, Zeckhausen Racing recommends Centric Posi Quiet brake pads.
Centric pads are direct replacements and require no modifications, unlike some other aftermarket pads for the RS4. These pads include electronic wear sensors and factory compatible harness.
For higher performance applications, when dust isn't a primary concern, we recommend StopTech Street Performance pads, which also have compatible wear sensors.
