Replacement Brake Pads
Has anyone been able to find a Hawk ceramic brake pad for the TTS? Hawk does not list a pad for our cars. EBC Brakes lists the same pad for the 2014+ TTS and the B7 A4. I'd like to verify the accuracy of that. The stock Audi part numbers don't match for the TTS and A4.

I haven't gotten around to pulling the calipers and measuring the stock TTS pads yet, but hope to soon.

Do you want different pads for less dust? Or are yours worn out already?

I called Hawk. They don't make brake pads for the 2016 TTS.
EBC lists RedStuff pads under "TTS 2015+". Do the MK2 and MK3 models have the same brakes?
I was told that RedStuff pads actually leave RED-ish dust. Is that true?

I used RBC pads back in 2000 and 2001, the green stuff, and they always melted onto the rotors and I had to change rotors all the time. This was just in city driving, too. And they wouldn't grip until they warmed up. Ever since then I always avoided EBC brakes.
I have used Hawk ceramics in the past and liked them a lot, but they will likely adversely impact your braking performance compared to the pads on your car currently.
I have also used Porterfield pads and was very pleased. I think they were the 4S or something similar. It was a while ago so I can't remember the exact type. But lower dust, no noise, and good braking performance.
