    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    C7 Audi S7, i.m currently running ebc yellow front, Audi OEM rear. The brake squeeking noise from my front pad is unbearable, I try break in a few times, no luck.

    Can anyone recommend any performance pad that doesn't sqeeking, OEM is expensive and not good performance, I want something at least or better than OEM pad. Is ebc red less noisy?

    Please give me some advice, leave a link I can buy them

    I'm not sure if Akenono ceramic pads are considered performance but everyone raves about them, including me. Did pads and rotors on my last allroad and just did pads and rotors on my current A6 (both running Zimmermann rotors and Akebono pads) and its a great setup. Since the pads are ceramic they also don't create any brake dust (or very little).

    Does it stop as good as OEM? I had power stop pad on my a7 before, they don't bite very well

    I had a good bite on my allroad but my A6 doesn't bite as much. I didn't do as hard of a bedding procedure (my allroad rotors were rainbow-blue as they should be while on the A6 I just had smelly brakes after the bedding process, no coloring on the rotors though). I think I'm also due for brake fluid as the fluid has never been done before and I have a 2012, so 11-year-old brake fluid.

    I have red stuff pads and never a sound from them. I’m using Zimmerman disks. Not a lot of brake dust either. I would recommend this set up. Stops very well

    Like others said, the powerstops are low dust/noise but you don't have that initial bite, and they are more linear, which I kind of like because I like to modulate my brake pedal instead of using it as a light switch like many do. All depends what you are used to and how you drive.
