what is a good type of brake pad to get for an a4 from advance/autozone. same with rotors....... bought one pair a long time ago..... squeeked that bad i just took them right off and got the oem ones. but trying to save a little green this time?

 

Just my opinion, I wouldn't go cheap. You have a high performance vehicle. To maintain the stopping abillity your car has, I wouldn't recommend it. If the cheaper pads take longer to stop the car, that might be the difference between a close call, and totalling the car. Just like you can't expect a cheap discount store pair of running shoes to hold up and work as well as many of the more expensive name brand shoes.

 

I buy cheap pads and rotors from Advance Auto. Never had a problem ever. Im thrifty like that. Just make sure you always spray brake clean on the new rotors and pads even if they look untouched. They have a factory residue that needs to be sprayed thoroughly.

 

if u just ask the autozone guys, theyll help u out with what you need, they have all the specs and stuff on their computers, but i agree with b7night, dont skimp on your car and it'll take u farther but chances are youll end up having to spend the money on new pads/rotors earlier than u would with the expensive pads but its all up to you.

 

I have a set of rear powerslot rotors for sale if you want those. I wouldn't go cheap, I like the Hawk pads , less brake dust with those too.
