Front brake pads (not carbon)
Hello all
I need to buy some front pads, anyone know of any deals on at the moment that I could be pointed to or perhaps a recommended seller? Anything to prevent WL Audi getting my money LOL! Thanks

Trying to do likewise for my D2 S8. I have tried to source Brembo pads and ECP etc cant seem to provide them although they can provide Brembos for the rear (lucas!) calipers
 The Brembo site shows their suppliers for this area as Halfords tho' when I asked Halfords they cannot source them as "the computer says no" - they can provide only Valeo (made in India) and Pagid! I do realise this is a D3 thread so sorry for this inappropriate and unhelpful post.  Just wanted to get it off my chest!

I'd only go for OEM pads these days after a very bad experience with one of the "reputable" alternative suppliers. I actually lost blocks of pad material from the front brakes, detached from the backing plate!
 It was on the inner pads (both sides!) so not visible, but the much reduced braking was very obvious as there was only one block of material one side of the disc.

Brake pads for D3 S8
I would recommend EBC yellow stuff pads if your are using steel disks and are hard on brakes like me. They worked well for me at Castle Coombe track day after bedding in. The others who were present can testify to the hard stops and smell of pads in the paddock!
