    A4 1.8T brake pads same as A4 3.0?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I know the discs and calipers are larger on the A4 3.0 vs 1.8T. However, are the brake pads the same size as looking on Tarox site they seem to share the same pad number.

    Can anyone confirm?

    Thanks

    yes, they use the same pad because they use the same caliper, just different carrier/rotor

    Thanks for the input.

    Do you know if the larger caliper off the B7 2.0T uses the same pad or not?

    How are your 3.0 brakes with the DS2500, good bite and stopping power?

    Thanks again

    man I love them! 3.0 rotors cross drilled and slotted.. The ferodos bite very hard and are much more resistant to fade... Www.raceshopper.com had the best prices.. Gimme a referral if u get any pads from them!

    Back about 7years, Tarox rotors are the way to go. As for the pads they use the same ones!
