Product Details and Specifications

These disc brake pads feature a semi-metallic friction material composition, which offers a good balance between braking efficiency and pad longevity. Both the inner and outer pads have a friction material thickness of 17.40 mm, ensuring a longer replacement interval. The steel backing plate provides strength and stability, while the friction material is integrally molded to the backing for enhanced durability. Chamfered edges help minimize noise and vibration during braking. Although pad wear sensors are not included, the pads are prepared for sensor installation, allowing compatibility with vehicles equipped with sensor systems. The set includes four pads, covering both front wheels of compatible Audi A6, A6 Quattro, S4, and S6 models.

Common Issues Addressed by These Brake Pads

• Reduced braking performance due to worn or thin brake pads
• Brake noise caused by uneven pad edges or poor fitment
• Premature pad wear from inferior friction materials
• Compatibility issues with pad wear sensor systems
• Brake fade under normal driving conditions

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the ATE Original Disc Brake Pads 602888, ensure the mounting hardware is properly secured to maintain pad alignment. Since pad wear sensors are not included but the pads are prepared for them, verify sensor compatibility if your vehicle requires it. Chamfered edges help reduce noise, but proper bedding-in of the pads is recommended to optimize performance. Always inspect the brake rotors for wear or damage and replace or resurface as necessary to ensure even pad contact.
