Which website is good to purchase brake pads for Audi cars?

Any of you guys have any experience in getting a new set of brake pads for your Audi?

My wife's car needs a new set of brake pads but not sure where to order from to get the best deal.

Thanks!

 

talk to markus at excelarate performance. im pretty sure he caries aftermarket pads for audi's.

 

Just sent him an email. Thanks man.

 

Wow, got a quote from this local Audi dealer.

Front+Rear Brake Pads part ONLY = $235 + tax

Total installed price for front brakes is $850.00

Total installed price for rear brakes is $775.00

The installation is super expensive.

EDIT: Nevermind, the rep quoted me the full pads+rotors.

Front pads installed $350

Rear pads installed $365

Is this pretty good price?

Should I just buy the parts and do it at the local body shop? The shop that I usually go to quoted me $140 for the installation. The mechanic said the rear ones takes little more time and effort because of the electronic parking brake that's attached there.

 

 

If you look closely, you'll see it's a French license plate.

 

woups saw it late
was going to say french

 

The French usually have a different color, but I have been gone a few years. What the heck are the French doing driving a German car anyways? They don't even like the Germans

 

Since the photo has "By..." right under the car, I don't think it's an official picture from Audi. That's might be why it has a French plate.

 

Have to post this haha
It's in Turkish



Left is marriage, right is love

 

Since this is an Audi thread, I'll slap this @$$-kicker right here.

 

Those sound about the same when I got quotes for my B7 at the dealer. Yeah, the rear ones require tools to "release" the motors so you can push the pistons back. The professionals would have a device just for that, but for enthusiasts, you can get the VAGCOM cable, and your laptop, and release the motor the same way.

After the OEM brake pads & rotors, I'm on my 3rd set of fronts, and 2nd set of rears now.

 

Thanks for the heads up.

Just placed an order of stoptech front and back from excelerate performance. Hope they are fine.

 

 

Yes please.

 

Looks good.

 

Anyone in here a fan of the A7...? Cuz, it is on my list of cars I would consider if I were to get out of the FX.

 

Better than A6, if you want a class around that size

 

I don't like the A7. It looks like a fat chick sat on the back of an Avant.

 

^ Interesting perspectives.

Well, I'm probably going for a full-sized sedan. The 5-Series would also be in play.

 

I like the new 5-series! The new A6 is a looker too

Moonlight Blue Metallic with the sport wheels:



Want.

 

As far as I noticed. A6 looks too normal for the people around. Yeah get a white S6, with some nice rims + you have to lower it also, would pull our attention but A7 even the lowest model looks different to people. Pulls attention

Aren't you in Canada? Why not Audi allroad?

 

Very true, the A7 breaks more necks compared to an A6.

And Allroad ftw! Do it!

 

allroad would be tits...but, I want something more car-like again. Just dreaming of something 5-6 years down the road. I'm going to upgrade my house before I get a new car, methinks.

Just food for thought. Everytime I see the A7, I think it looks great.

 

but how are you going to deal with all the snow being in a car and calgary? shouldn't you be looking into a diesel truck? You know just in case you might someday in the future need to go off-roading with a horse trailer?

 

Why don't you keep the FX? + you won't have to deal with selling the rims also

 

Just food for thought, MEKO.

I'm not thinking of getting a new car yet. But, good to imagine. Like I said earlier, it's at least 5+ years before I get another ride. Just fun to play what-if.

 

 

Oh padonn didn't catch that, was walking to my next class

True, FX has that feeling between an SUV and sedan. Allroad should be somewhat similar to it.

Gotta go way lower but isn't that bad for Canada people?
A7 sounds smart

I don't like 5 series.
To be honest passed a black 335 once on the road, the new one. While I was passing him I thought it was an 5 series.
I mean not even in the middle, my mind just said 5 series

Noticed it was 3 after I saw the headlights from the sidemirror, I swear to god hahah

So yes for a 3 class, no for 5, if you ask me

 

^ Well, now that BMW has the 4-Series...whoa momma. But, let's keep coupes out of it.

 

The A6 3.0 with the 20" Sport package has a ton of presence on the road. It looks very aggressive.

The S6 is a really beautiful car but it's not overtly distinguishable from a 3.0 A6 Sport. But I like the sleeper aspect of both cars. They're ridiculously opulent inside and certainly not bland on the outside.

If you look at what BMW is doing too, I think that's the future of this segment. Nothing too gonzo for the mainstream models ... But it does make me wonder if BMW is going to produce a M-Plus car that's a little more like the RS models from Audi. I think that's what Mercedes is trying to do with their AMG S models too.

 

Me after I saw your post at class







Yes I agree, leavs coupes alone
and go buy R8

 

 

The S6 is so pretty.

But the S7 is drop dead gorgeous...

I would rather buy a 6-series Gran Coupe over the S7

The aggressive look of the S7 are great but the 6GC is downright gorgeous

 

Id rather buy a 7 series over a 6GC and a S7 over both. To each there own!

 

Seems like Mom decided on the one. What do you guys think?

Allroad Premium Plus with Moonlight Blue Metallic on Velvet Beige/Black. Also with the nav package, Bang & Olufsen sound system, Audi advanced key, and dark brown walnut inlays.

Since it's a 2013 they can get a pretty good deal on it.

 

Damn I want

 

Just a purdy pic I want to share with y'all.
