I redid all four on my 2014 A4 allroad. There was. Virtually no brake dust and no squeak or squeal with excellent stopping power.
Replaced the pads on my Audi A4 with powerstop, and they're a big upgrade. Significantly less brake dust from the OEM too.
Paid £420 + £180 fitting for mine front and back on a 2019 Audi A4 by going via Euro Car Parts when the Audi garage quoted £1200!!
IMO, Akebono Ceramics are the shiz. I had some on my Audi A4. Way better than stock, very little dust to clean off, and you can just get them off Amazon for less than OEM.
People can talk all they want but I had a 2017 A4 bought at 32k miles and sold with 94k 2.5 years later in 2022 and it was by far the most reliable and hassle free car I ever had. Nothing but routine maintenance, in that period I didn’t even have to change the brakes.
I suggest you use EBC brake pads but that's just personal choice.
My car has smaller brakes than yours, so I was able to downsize to a 245 45R17 for winter use from the 255 35R19 summers and the car is so much smoother but still can handle just as good.
You don't have to buy original rotors and pads. OEM (same manufacturer but without the Audi logo and part number) and third-party (e.g. Bosch, NK) are just as good.
I had Redstuff on mine for over 2 years and while they weren't that dusty, they felt horrible, didn't stop well, and eventually disintegrated.
dunno if same formula on Touareg pads, but they are HORRIBLE on my A4. They are low dust, but fade terribly - much worse than stock.
