Has anyone with a A5 had any luck on finding brake upgrade options for the B9?. Do the same kits work that would for a S5?

I can't even find any pads other than OEM.

I am looking at doing some track days and am going to upgrade the lines and fluid, but figured I would do everything at once.

On the golf R it took ~2years to have good track pads and good brake upgrades, I would expect the timeline to be similar or longer for the A5 which isnt a popular track car.

The guys who did get track pads earlier went to a supplier with OEM pads and had track pads custom made to the tune of ~400 for a set.

There are a few option if you still looking I'll post them. Just let me

From his signature it looks like he upgraded the whole car!

And it’s a post from 2019. He may have traded / sold it by now. . . just saying.

Indeed I did, but I did work out my own build around the time that I posted using S calipers, ECS lines and rotors and EBC pads.

Great update!

I just added Nue speed brake lines and that made my brakes worlds better...

Before any track days though I'd probably be looking into some of the new full caliper upgrades.

Which level of EBC pads did you go with?
So essentially you slapped S5 size brakes on your A5? Curious because us S5 folks are looking for new brake pad options (and reviews) come time for replacement...
