Default Aftermarket Brake Pads and Rotors - 2013 Q5

Hi All,

I own a 2013 Audi Q5 Premium Plus 2.0L Quattro . In my Recent visit to Audi Dealership for a 35K service . ( I currently have 30K miles on Audi Q5 )

I was advised that I should get my Front and Rear Break Pads and Rotors Changed . This is the current condition :- Front Brakes - 2mm and Rear Brakes - 4mm .

I went to an independent Brake Shop and the mechanic advised me that same .

I have narrowed on the following combinations for pads and rotors

1.) Akebono Pads + Zimmerman Rotors

2.) Akebono Pads + Brembo Rotors

3.) Brembo Pads + Zimmerman Rotors

4.) Brembo Pads + Brembo Rotors

Concern :- One of the common thing that both dealer and the brake shop mentioned is that they have had complaints about aftermarket products squeaking a lot .

I would really be helpful if someone can help with the pads and rotors combinations AND also the concern about aftermarket products squeaking as compared to OEM .

Hope to hear .

I believe the rotors make wouldn't make a difference. The pads will so pick up a good Ceramic pads and you will avoid that problem.
