Best Brake pads for Audi RS5
I've got the rs5 with ceramic front brakes, I'm looking to get the pads replaced, back ones are 100 for a genuine set, but front ones are nearly 1000 for a genuine set?! I inspect my front pads and see they are made by brembo and have audi branding on it. A little bit a research and I find OE equivalent pads from brembo for only 240. They felt the exact same to me on the track.
Pros: cost effective, same performance
Vehicle:
Audi RS5
My two biggest issues in my car is the lack of horsepower and the brakes.
Cons: lack of horsepower

Im using yellowstuff on an rs5 b9 , installed it couple of weeks ago first impression is it has a better bite than OEM, but i think yellows won’t hold the car for more than 1hr of heavy street driving which is bad. But i have to test it further to verify this.
Pros: better bite than OEM
Cons: poor for heavy driving
