This product line is designed to meet the demands of performance-oriented vehicles while maintaining clean wheels and consistent braking. The inclusion of mechanical wear sensors and mounting hardware ensures compatibility and ease of installation for compatible Audi models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDetailed Product Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese rear disc brake pads are engineered with a ceramic friction material composition that offers quieter braking and less dust compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. Both the outer and inner pads have a friction material thickness of 16.6 mm, providing a substantial amount of material for longer service intervals. The slotted design helps to dissipate heat effectively, reducing the risk of brake fade during aggressive driving or heavy braking conditions. Chamfered edges further contribute to noise reduction and smoother pad-to-rotor contact. The mechanical pad wear sensor included with this set provides a reliable indication of pad wear, helping to maintain optimal braking performance and safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Audi Models and Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudi A4, A4 allroad, A4 Quattro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudi A5 Quattro, A5 Sportback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudi A6 allroad, A6 Quattro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudi A7 Sportback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudi Q5, Q5 PHEV, SQ5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudi RS5, RS5 Sportback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudi S4, S5, S5 Sportback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Issues Addressed by These Brake Pads\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcessive brake dust buildup on wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake noise and vibration during stopping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePremature pad wear and rotor damage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake fade under heavy or repeated braking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInaccurate pad wear indication without sensors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnsure the brake system is clean and free of debris before installation.
