Brake pads Zimmermann or OEM Audi
Reviews
I just installed front and rear brakes @90k on my MK7.5 GTI w/PP brakes with a kit from FCP Euro Zimmerman cross drilled font and rear with EBC Red Stuff pads. The price has gone up a good bit since then but its a good upgrade from stock imo.
Pros: good upgrade from stock
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 90000 km
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.

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
I remember somebody talking about swapping out the Brembo for Zimmermann brakes and he was much happier with those.
Pros: much happier
Cons: needed replacing quickly
Upgraded brake pads can be louder and dirtier.
Cons: louder and dirtier

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

they're Audi pads, with Extra squeek!
Cons: extra squeak
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
