Brake pads for RS5

[Jwkc]

Any suggestions on Front Bake pads for RS5?
For Aggressive street driving and Occasionally Autocross and track use!

Thanks

Not sure what’s available. Check ECS tuning

What’s aggressive street driving?

Do you have the carbon ceramics?

You can reach out to Mops@Nemesis, I am sure Ben will be able to provide some options based on your specific needs.

I have already done this research for the B9 RS5. At the moment there are no available options specifically designed for the B9 RS5. However, I will let you know that I am working closely with a braking system company to R&D race-spec pads and rotors. It will be a couple more months before it will be revealed, but you can stay tuned to my build thread for the latest updates.

I little bit off topic but I am wondering how long the OEM non ceramic will last?

This will all depend on how hard you are on your brakes. The B9 RS5 pads are VERY soft, hence the excessive brake dust production. For example, I only have 3K miles and have already replaced my original stock pads, but this also includes a weekend of track racing.

I am just asking for normal city and highway driving ..no track.. Souds like they are like the B8.5 RS5 . They were so soft and I had to replace fronts at 14K mi

I have the ceramic setup and have 16k miles fun miles and still good.

But i am wondering how much of a difference the carbon and non are on track and wear

Ceramic different story. Need to check Hawk or Alkobono. Get good street pad. The more aggressive more chance of break noise. Need to find the + 1 stock replacement. See if you like it. If not go up next level.

I ran with cast iron discs

I ran EBC yellow stuff on my C6 Corvette back in the day... (https://www.autoanything.com/brakes/...uff-brake-pads)

Great pad, minimal noise, low dust, and ok for track use. I think I combined them with DBA rotors if I recall (it's been over 8 years). Also, I think they make them for the RS5. Not sure if anyone here has had any real world experience with them on the RS cars.

Cheers!
