There's an echo in here, echo in here, echo in here! It's also technically a repost, repost, repost!

Default Ferodo DS2500 if you plan on tracking again once or twice. Stay stock if not...

<a href="http://zeckhausen.com/Audi/RS4.htm">Ferodo DS2500 from Zeckhausen</a>

If you're not planning on tracking at all and want to try an alternative to stock pads with less dust, I've heard good things about the Centric Posi Quiet semi-metallics on the same page in the link above.

Default Only drawback to the Ferodo DS2500 that I experienced on my S4

is that they were very loud &amp; squealy in colder weather. Good pads other than the noise. Set up was Alcon 4 pot w/ Stasis 332 rotors.

I use to use them on my M3 with Brembos. They need to have a good amount of anti squeel compound and then bedded in properly and you are good to go.
Great pad for dual street/track duty especially on a BBK.

Stock = too much dust. I'll probably go with Porterfield when I replace mine

Default If you don't track consider the Centric Posi Quiet pads from Zeckhausen...

They perform slightly better then the stock pads, create less brake dust, have the pad sensors and cost less then the alternatives.<ul><li><a href="http://www.zeckhausen.com/Audi/RS4.htm">http://www.zeckhausen.com/Audi/RS4.htm</a></li></ul>
