Super cheap, TRW DTEC take-off brake pad set for 400/356mm S6 / S7 / S8

[Gravy Train]

I upgraded to G-LOC pads a long while back and am finally cleaning out the garage. For a whopping $55, I'll ship you my set of four TRW DTEC pads with 7k miles of use.

Notes:

TRW part numbers: TPC1575 (front); TPC1547 (rear)

TRW DTEC is a carbon-ceramic pad compound for street use. It offers the closest thing to OEM cold bite, while reducing dusting by about 40%. Yes, these still dust a bit, and will show on your wheels after a week of regular driving. Just not as heavy as the Brembo pads.

I noticed a slight, cold-only light squeal from the rear pads on my 2018 S6, but YMMV pending fitment, and I didn't turn the rotors from the OE pads. Fronts are completely silent, cold or warm. Consistent bite (linear) with pedal pressure.

These are a fair-quality pad to consider as an alternative to OEM, and TRW is the OE supplier of Audi floating calipers.

Box weighs 13lbs, shipped UPS Ground. I've wrapped the pads up for protection in shipping.

Will these need the shim kit?

Will these need the shim kit?

Depends on the health of your existing shims. I was able to take a razor blade to the shims of my original pads, peel them away, then glue them to these TRW pads. Unfortunately, that process seems good for only one use, and weren't in good enough shape to glue to the G-LOC pads.

If you're on the original pad set and have racked up over 30K miles on them, I'd grab a shim set just to be sure. There's a chance all that heat-cycling degraded the original shims to the point where they can't be reused.
