A7 new Adams Rotors + Akebono Pads
Recently got some new rotors and pads for my A7 since I hated the stock pads and their excessive dusting, so I went to a ceramic pad and custom rotors from https://www.adamsrotors.com/ and man am I satisfied. They hardly dust at all anymore and are just as quiet, as well as brake better than my OEM garbage

Great choice. I have Adam's Rotors on my D2 S8, but went with CarboTech pads. I was very pleased with the quality of the rotors and lack of dusting plus good performance from the pads. When the time comes to do the brakes on my A6, I'll probably go the same route.

a relatively easy 39k miles, they were only about 3/4 done probably could have gotten another 20k out of my stock pads and rotors but I couldn't stand the dusting from the OEM crap, After lots and lots of researching online I went with Adams because it was pretty much a guaranteed fit as he uses your vin to make sure they match your car, and I was able to speak with Adam himself in regards to what kid of brake/drill slot combo I would need for my driving habits/climate. He also gave me some pretty incredible service and gave me some stuff for free when my original set that was supposed to be gold zinc plated was not able to be made because the guy who does his zinc plating was having issues with the gold zinc, a batch that mine was part of, so he gave me free coating on all my hubs for the added 1 week wait and still plated them in silver zinc
