Brake pads WAGNER or OEM Audi
At 75K went with OEM rotors in the rear and some Wagner QS ZD1108 ceramic pads. Then went with some Brembo 09.C306.11 rotors in the front with EBC Reds ceramic pads. I don’t track. Stopping power is about the same. I didn’t notice a huge difference. What I did notice, much quieter stopping and NO MORE BROWN BRAKE DUST. Yes, still get brake dust but not nearly as much. And when it collects, it’s more of a light white dust. Easy to clean. Super happy with the change. Even in the winter, stopping power is good.
Pros: quieter stopping, less dust
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 75000 km
Wagner thermoquiet here. Works perfectly.
Pros: works perfectly
I’ve used Wagner thermoquiet pads and the cheapest wholesale close out rotor with good results.
Pros: good results, inexpensive
Bosch and Wagner rotors and ceramic pads are my preferred brands. I put new Wagner front brake pads on the Frontier 5 1/2 years ago and they still have about 3mm left.
Pros: long lasting, reliable

I used closesale WAGNER OEX906A (Premium) OEX and closesale AUTO EXTRA AX31314. they actually works amazing, especially auto extra with "P" is semi-coated with a little bit more price, I have very good experience with them and actually recommends it if you want to be cheap
Pros: amazing, works well
Vehicle:
Toyota
Part number: WAGNER OEX906A, AUTO EXTRA AX31314
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 used the Wagner QuickStop. They were affordable and have been fine so far
Pros: affordable, reliable
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
brakes (twice in 26k km, which is crazy stupid - the car didn't get a lot of mileage during COVID, but their brakes are stupid cheap and rust just looking at them when it rains).
Cons: replaced twice in 26k km, stupid cheap, rust easily
Vehicle:
Audi A5
Mileage: 26000 km
