Brake pads Mintex or OEM Audi
I've been running the stock brakes with aftermarket pads for a few years and it's worked well for me. Mintex 1144, Ferodo DS2500 and Roddisons pads have all been great.
Pros: worked well, great performance
I used Mintex 1144 on my MK7.5 ST. Were great for fast road and some Nurburgring laps in a year.
Pros: great for fast road
Vehicle:
Ford Focus
Part number: 1144

Pros: stainless steel braided lines

When I replaced my rear brake pads and rotors earlier this year - he straight up told me that the front pads were almost out but the rotors were good and since this particular dealership needed you to replace both together - he recommended a local German auto shop that would replace just the brake pads.
Pros: better deal on tires
Vehicle:
Audi A6
I know it’s not a Q7, but I’ve got a 2019 C8 A6 and recently had my read pads replaced by an independent, £275 but that also included my MOT at the same time.
Pros: pads replaced by independent

My S4 needed brakes at around 30k. I had a couple dealerships price it out and it was about that.

1.5 years ago a client was offered brake pads only with a 1 year warranty, no guarantee against noises or pulsations, or brake pads and rotors together with a 3 year warranty against noises and pulsations. They opted for the 1 year option on their fancy 2017 Audi because the rotors were stupid expensive.
Pros: 1 year warranty offered
Cons: no guarantee against noises
Vehicle:
Audi
Anyone with TTRS fronts has this problem? I definitely noticed this problem ever since I installed Audi TTRS front brakes. I also use Carbs.
Cons: problem noticed after install
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I didn't like the Mintex Redbox pads on my Passat. They overheated too quickly and felt spongy.
Cons: overheated, felt spongy
Vehicle:

I used Mintex red's on the 54's - once, a while ago - and I was not impressed.
Cons: not impressed
