Brake pads DIXCEL or OEM Audi
Brakes and rotors at 30K miles??? I just replaced mine on my 2016 A4 at 75K and the still had plenty of wear left. Yes, I drive aggressively too.
Pros: plenty of wear left
Vehicle:
Audi A4
Mileage: 75000 km
No. Looks perfectly normal.
Vehicle:
Audi 100
I have a 2021 District Green Q5e / tan interior and it has been a fantastic car for my use case. 55% City driving means little to no gas use with home charging. Lots of road trips too, it’s a fast highway cruiser. 50k miles so far.
Pros: fast highway cruiser
Vehicle:
Audi Q5
Mileage: 50000 km
Brakes will last forever since I use so much regen.
Pros: last forever
Vehicle:
Audi
Dixcel M-Type are the least dusty street pad I've ever used. A little pricey and straight from Japan, but they aren't kidding when they advertise "ultra low dust". Have about 1500 miles on them so far and they're great on the street and for the occasional togue/mountain days.
Pros: ultra low dust, great street
Cons: a little pricey
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Mileage: 2414 km
Dump the OEM pads. I went Dixcel in my M3 and the thing stops better and there’s so much less dust. Traded off is squeal at higher brake temps.
Pros: stops better, less dust
Cons: squeal at higher temps
Vehicle:
BMW
Upgraded brake pads can be louder and dirtier.
Cons: louder and dirtier
Vehicle:
Audi A4
My S4 needed brakes at around 30k. I had a couple dealerships price it out and it was about that.
Vehicle:
Audi S4
Mileage: 30000 km
Unless you thrash your car and don\u2019t care about it, a full brake+tire/alignment service at 30k is wild.
Cons: full service at 30k is wild
Vehicle:
Audi A4
Mileage: 30000 km
they're Audi pads, with Extra squeek!
Cons: extra squeak
