    Anything but ordinary OE , BTW Pagid is bad for dust.

    Future legislation should see an end to copper and high dust.

    I've 3 cars with full, sets of ceramic EBC Redstuff .

    Another Eco friendly low dust is Ferodo Eco-Fiction .

    I'm in this boat now... Need to change my front pads.

    These ATE pads with "ceramic features" mentioned sound interesting, any one else have experience with them?

    Fist time I did my brakes (DYI) on my A4 (B8) I chose Eicher, I won't ever use them again... Second time I used Pagid which I was told are like Brembo... I was very pleased with Pagid, especially with the fact that the discs simply did not corrode.

    Now however I won't replace the discs as they are in excellent condition, but my front inner pads are a bit low and I am wondering which pads to get and as mentioned the ATE sound interesting... Does anyone have a part# or similar? I found quite a few on ******* and I am wondering which ones to get?
