I'm down to 3mm back there. My car's driven very hard and will see its first Autocross season very soon.
Wear to the padsand rotors,as wellas brake dust, is far behind having the rear brakes do all that they can. Any suggestions? ECS Tuning doesn't help much with their descriptions.

any decent performance pad will do. The rears only do about 20% of the braking.

 

Any preference to material or brand though?

 

i beleive mintex is th OEM stuff and hawk is the performance type, EBC aint that bad etiher and they off a line up depending on your preference.

 

Any from ecs are fine. You can also get ecs green or redstuff pads.

 

Sorry to thread-jack...but what are these sensors I see mentioned in that link?

 

the front pads have wear sensors, these are available on the late model A4's pretty much if you dont have pads with those sensor your gonna have a brake pad light on the dash unless you connect the 2 wires.

 

One of the front pads have a sensor in it that when the brake pads wear, the sensor brakes and sets off the brake pad light. You have to have it to use them

 

And the rears don't have the sensor, but it says no wires. Confuse me, thank you.

 

The sensor is only in one of the passenger side front pads
