Installation Notes

Verify rotor condition, caliper hardware, and pad fitment before installation. This pad set is listed for front position applications only, and fitment varies by model year, brake code, and brake package. Confirm the vehicle’s brake system and OE pad shape against FMSI 9122-D1894 before ordering. For select Audi RS5, RS5 Sportback, and S8 applications, brake-code or ceramic-brake exclusions apply as noted in the fitment data.

The P85165N is built to match the demands of front brake service on Audi passenger cars and SUVs while supporting cleaner wheel appearance and smooth daily use.
