Hi All,
Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere (I couldn't find it!).
The front discs and pads on my standard 2011 S3 are reaching the end of their usefulness and I need to buy new ones very soon. Audi just had the car in for a service, advised me the brakes would need doing and quoted me £425 for the privilege.
I'm not going to be making any modifications to the car and the standard brakes are adequate for a standard setup. I'm finding it tricky to find anything online and don't want to be lumbered with bits that don't fit. I'm looking to sell the car within a year so I'm looking for OEM parts. I've heard Pagid are a decent choice so I've been looking in to their bits.
Something I've found really confusing is the number of different sizes available for my car. Even when searching by reg on Euro Car Parts, there are about 4 different ones available for the front ranging from about 280mm to 345mm in diameter. Searching on here indicates I need a 345mm diameter disc with the pads that go with it.
I found a set on the bay going for £123 delivered which is a bargain compared to Audi's ridiculous prices!
Can anyone confirm these are the discs and pads I need for my car (in terms of size at least):
Disc: http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/A...d52dfc151eda22f9bdb70a34b0520717f8ad4f&000027
Pad: http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/A...70be9541c047334dc9fc4179b7098f196de964&000036
Thanks in advance!
