The red stuff ain't listed for RS3 so we use Subaru ones.

The pads you need are DP3121OC

Yeah I did look there ahh are the Subaru ones the same size then ? Would TTRS be the same too

[marshy]

The dimensions are the same as the Subaru/Evo
Not sure why EBC don't market them here for Audi?
Maybe because they don't have pad wear indicators.

Stick with the Reds. I've had no brake problems with them after over 8K miles now. Using them both on the front and rear of the car.

[SK-RS3]

I may have to restock with standard pads for now as lights just come on .
Does anybody know what kind of mileage I've got left now wear limiter has come on as need car and can't get it booked In straight away

[SK-RS3]

Also anybody know what make the standard pads are ?

[T-800]

Standard pads are Brembo badged but they seem to have Pagid material

Yeah heard pagid are no good even if I need a quick fix I won't be using them and it's saying the yellow stuff need to be used in conjunction with Brembo calipers.
Find it odd that have to use the red stuff for a Subaru why can't EBC just make them directly for RS3

[kevin69]

Yellow
Red

In fairness and to add balance, I had yellowstuffs in for approximately 6 months and they did not end up looking like T800's pads as in they were in tact. I changed to Redstuffs because for some reason the yellows did not work well with the MTec rear discs I had when stopping from speed / applying the rears they were always very noisy (humming noise) irrespective of temperature. They worked well otherwise but did produce a lot of dust compared to reds / similar to OEM levels but since upgrading the front callipers EBC do reds in the UK for 8 pots so I had confidence to buy them for front and rear albeit a bit disappointed not to have wear sensors on them.  

[SK-RS3]

If you don't connect wear sensors does it keep throwing up a fault on the dash ?

[T-800]

You can cut your existing and solder the ends together then plug it back in.

I think you can also code the pad warning light out possibly with VCDS.

my experience with Audi so far, 

 

they make brilliant cars, its the dealers that let them down....

[P_G]

Normally I would tend to agree however a ray of light for an Audi franchise today. The people who balanced my wheels on their Hunter have over tightened the bolts and when I have gone to take the wheels off it has chewed the locking wheel bolt pattern. I couldn't get any of them off because the pattern had been chewed that badly so I bought a new OEM set, dropped into Tyneside Audi today at peak lunchtime / 1pm and 10 minutes later they had the old bolts off with their master key, fitted the new ones and no charge.

 

Some things they can get right after all.

[T-800]

They can be good..........sometimes.

I must admit for all Macclesfield's time taken with my car they did at least sort it out in the end.

So at least whoever gets my old RS will be getting a well sorted car with lots of new parts.

I'm in love with mine again!
Eventually sorted my brake judder by fitting the red stuff pads and bedding them in very hard.
Also fitted my mtec rear discs to match the front.
It's a shame Audi UK couldn't resolve it!
How nice is it to get back in to your RS3

 

 

Well Kev, would you have ever believed it...
