Default Pagid y19 brake pads

Anyone know the shape and or a source for pagid endurance pads for a 2015 Audi s6. Ran them on my rs6 for years and now I’m looking for them for the new car.

The PGD4937 shape looks like a match although Pagid's site says it is for S6 with ceramic brakes, however another sites indicate that is correct for the iron discs. Probably have to call them directly to find out for sure.
What is y19? I only see the RSC-1 or RSC-2 pad and at $547 they are a hard pass IMO. Also they are straight up racing pads. You can get plenty of other readily accessible good street pads for much much less than that. I wouldn't get hung up on Pagid.
Here is the Pagid RSC-1

Not sure where you are located but here is the Pagid dealer locator:

The Porterfield R4-S considered a very good pad is also one of the more expensive options at $299.

Another pricey good option is EBC. (They even have rear pads which it does not appear Pagid even offers.)

Default Thanks for that!

The Y19/Y29’s are Pagid’s endurance compound. It is used on virtually every lemans GT class race car. I used them on my C5 RS6 and loved them. Yes they are expensive but when you want to stop, hot or cold, all the time every time, they are the ones I trust. Great on rotors and seem to last forever ( when your not beating on them at Daytona. ;-)).

I have contacted a few vendors but say not available but sometimes If You know what you need ( part #s ) you can find it even though it is not in the cross reference list.

Thank you for your help!

OK... I guess most street cars don't need Le Mans brake pads, and for one tenth the price and ten times the availability you can stop all the time every time too. Just doesn't seem like it's worth the hassle.
