Did you set up an account?
They literally changed my order immediately after I placed it, I went back to their site immediately after making payment and they had already substituted the brands, I checked my recent orders.
They did this on two separate occasions. I had to go on web chat to sort it..... They give you spiel about their brand having 3year warranty blah blah blah.
I hope they have now realised that it's bad business practise .

Should be all good then.
Maybe they have seen the error of their ways now.

I know my experience wasn't an isolated incident because I googled it and it had been happening a lot.

Pads are the same for all rear disc sizes, so if you're old ones are not too bad, you can use them.

genuine Audi discs and Pagid pads for sale if your feeling a bit skint
Just a note - you can consider EBC Red Stuff or Yellow Stuff brake pads these work great on my S8 without Squeal or noticeable fade and last very long with my steel disks. Cheers,
