I am very interested in seeing the pics. And also any wear information you can provide on those exact ones after you install. My dealer will put them in, but he claims the pads will wear much faster than OEM.

Hey guys, I have a 2012 A7 and just (today) had EBC slotted rotors and EBC red stuff installed on all 4 tires. I found the best price via carid (pads) and autoanything (rotors with coupons they have going). I spent $500 for the pads and rotors and an extra $30 on sensors from Amazon.

The ECB parts were more expensive than Audi OEM. So stuck to Audi parts. Are the ECB parts that much better?

In case this helps someone...also replacing rotors with the dimpled/slotted EBC's and Akebono pads (virtually no dust and no squeals). The best price I've found is from placeforbrakes.com. Pads, rotors & 1 liter of ATE fluid shipped for 500.00. The pads come with sensors and shims. They also will also price match. Cheers!

I got 70K miles off the original pads and rotors, but I do a lot of highway driving. I changed to EBC Slotted (not slotted and dimpled) and Red Stuff and absolutely love them. No noise at all (which you sometimes get with dimpled rotors), great stopping power and virtually zero brake dust.
My Audi dealer was happy to install them, since I don't have the time.
