Product Details

Quality-Built Black Series brake pads are engineered with application-specific friction formulas to deliver even pedal response and fade-resistant braking across a broad temperature range. For Audi A5 front brake service, this pad set is built to support smooth, predictable stopping with reduced noise and controlled dust. The 1003-1535M part number is listed for 2010-2013 Audi A5 front and 2010-2012 Audi A5 Quattro front with ATE front caliper.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Squealing or noisy front brake operation
