I replaced my OEM pads w/ Pagid pads, based on a recommendation from the Audi Quartterly. I...

wouldn't recommend metalic pads on OEM rotors because they would probably be too abrasive and cut into the rotors. If you want to use metallic pads, I would recommend chnaging the rotors to one that could withstand these pads.

I bought PBR Ceramics, and they work great

I also upgraded to A8 rotors and TT pad carriers.<ul><li><a href="http://www.hembrook.com/automotive/audi/100/brakes/index.html">My brake upgrade</a></li></ul>
