TL;DR — Our picks for Audi S4 / S5
Genuine Audi pad set — full Audi warranty.
ATE Ceramic for low dust, or Textar Epad for OE feel — both are Audi OE-supplier brands.
Pagid OE-equivalent + ATE Power Disc slotted — modest, sensible upgrade.
Why brake choice matters on this car
OE S4 / S5 friction is a low-metallic compound supplied by Textar / Pagid. The disc is a one-piece vented unit, ATE-cast in most batches.
Most S-line owners do not track. The honest pad recommendation here is "match OE friction, reduce dust" — not "fit a track pad".

| Brand | Compound | Best for | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Audi (OE) ECE R90 | Low-met | Mixed | Factory pad. OE wear-sensor. |
| ATE Ceramic ECE R90 | NAO ceramic | Daily | Low dust, very quiet. Good street choice for owners who hate dirty wheels. |

Recommended brake discs
| Brand | Type | OE dimension | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Audi (OE) | Plain | Front 350 mm vented · Rear 330 mm | OE one-piece. Quietest, longest life with OE pads. |
| ATE Original Coated | Coated | 350 mm vented coated | OE supplier. Coated finish for Bangalore weather. |
| ATE Power Disc | Slotted | 350 mm slotted | Single slot, road-legal. Cleaner pad strike at high speed. |
Common pitfalls on Audi S4 / S5
- B8 (older) and B9 S4 / S5 share many SKUs but pads and discs are not always interchangeable — confirm with chassis.
- Avoid drilled discs on S4 / S5 — heat-cycle cracking at the holes is a known issue.
- EPB requires VCDS / ODIS to retract the rear piston for pad change.
- Brembo Sport HP2000 is overkill for 95% of S4 / S5 street use — fit it only if you actually track the car.
What we need to quote the right brakes
We do not dispatch any brake part without first verifying the chassis number against the manufacturer catalogue — this is how we make sure the part that leaves our warehouse is the correct one for your car.
VIN / Chassis NumberRequired
17-character VIN from the windshield base, driver-side door jamb or RC book. Required — variants of the same model can use different brake parts.
Make, Model & YearRequired
For example: Mercedes-Benz E 63 AMG (W212), 2014. Tells us which catalogue to check.
OE Part Number (if known)Bonus
Printed on the back-plate of the worn pad or on the disc edge — speeds up cross-reference and pricing.
Clear photo of the partBonus
A WhatsApp photo of the worn pad (back-plate side), disc edge and caliper helps confirm fitment for facelift / imported variants.
Every order is verified against your VIN / chassis number before dispatch, so a wrong-part shipment from our side is extremely rare. In the unlikely event that we ship a part that does not match the chassis number you shared, we will replace it at our cost. The only case where a return is not accepted is if the chassis / engine number itself was given incorrectly at the time of order — please double-check it from your RC book before confirming.
