Best Brake pads for Audi S5

I had Brembo pads and rotors put on my 2019 S5 coupe. I actually like them better than OEM parts they replaced.

Change out the pads for ceramic pads like Akebono, they should be quieter and less brake dust.

Hawk HP 5.0 was a decent enough upgrade for my tuned S5 and still perfectly fine for street use for my first few track days.

EBC pads, OE quality Zimmerman rotors and a brake flush with the proper fluid is all you need.

been looking at yellow stuff, as what I hear to be a great pad, and is more affordable than I imagined it would be.

Brake dust difference between stock Akebono pads on the front and Hawk Performance Ceramic on the rear. The backs would usually be about 70% as dusty as the fronts and now they're essentially clean

It’s the pads. I paid my dealer to change my pads out to Akebono because the dust and noise was so bad. I get that it’s a performance car but good lord it was miserable for a daily driver.
