Been there done that, had my second 'new' set beginning of May after updated set were squealing/making a graunching noise and they'd also scored the discs badly, after it came out from Audi with the new set up i had very faint signs of squeal, within the first 200 mile.
After much discussion with John (He'd already changed fronts to EBC Redstuff and was very happy) i decided to do the same, didn't fancy ruining another set of new discs with the crap OEM Brembo/Pagid pads, had no issues since, brake bite is better and very low dust, best of all though no squeal !

Just pulled into the local shell garage to top up and the noise from the front of the car when slowly braking sounded like Jimi Hendrix feedback!! Not happy what can I do? Audi deserve an
Anyone got anywhere with this? Mines in with Audi at the moment and I am hoping they can do something as its as bad as the first version of brakes now
Ah ok fair enough, so is it shims time John?
Have none of you tried the upgrade Brembo Sport (HP2000 compound) pads for your RS3?
They're supposed to be very very good, I've just bought front and rear for my S3, not fitted yet though.
Hi muzza how's things ,there's loads of different pads to choose ,yellow stuff,tarox corsa ,pagid rs4-2 ,ferodo ds2500 and mintex

SELL 'em on Muzza and go REDSTUFF - you'll be glad you did, honest...
I need something that will take the odd track day at Knockhill without disintegrating like the set of Redstuff did after 5 laps on a 300bhp Focus ST-3. I kid you not, the pad material literally came away from the backing plate and for that reason I will never use an EBC Brakes product again as long as I'm not driving a mobility scooter.
They were also rubbish on my Downhill MTB
HP2000 is marketed to be everything DS2500 is but with improved dust production less noise and less wear, I loved DS2500 as a dual duty pad so will be good to see how the HP2000 hold up.
REDSTUFF is NOT for you Muzza... DON't go there...
I wont
How did you personally find the HP2000?
