    Brake Wear Indicator

    Just noticed my rear brake pads are quite thin, perhaps 3-4 mm left on them. At what point does the brake wear indicator kick in? Can't ever remember previous cars getting as low without prior warning :blink:

    Car failed MOT on pads, Should I change the stock disks at the same time?

    So cars failed on pads at the front, taken it away so I can order some HP2000 or DS2500, stock disks have some life in them still. Is it worth changing them for some grooved disks at the same time or will it not make much of a difference in regards to stopping? Should I just put some HP2000...

    Question on brake pads

    Forgive my ignorance here but at what level are you supposed to change brake pads? These are my rears, they look pretty low. Fronts still look good even after 1.5 years of pretty spirited driving!

    Brake pad recommendations?

    Looking for new brake pads, any recommendation? Want something better than stock, to support occasional track use. Used EBC Greenstuff on one of my prev. cars and those were quite good as I recall. Also, is it the same size pads for all A4's?

    My 2013 Audi A6 Avant 3ltr BiTurbo (313) is due for new discs and pads. Are people simply recommending OEM or going for Brembo? I'm not a racer so not looking for silly, but just the best brakes for sensible money now that a replacement is nearly due.
