My brother has a 2005.5 A4 2.0T Quattro that needs brake pads installed at all 4 corners. I am looking for someone who has Audi experience that can install pads with their eyes closed. Please post here or PM me with a price for you to do the work, I have a garage here or you can use your garage. I am also looking for a quality brake pad for the car that isn’t too outrageous on pricing. The car is only daily driven with no excessive overuse like most of us. I would greatly appreciate any links or ideas for where to find good options. I am thinking German Auto Parts off the top of my head, thoughts? edit: As I’m posting this I realized I pretty much should have just called Tom (1stGen). So Tom, stop by when you’re up in cp or I’ll call you. ---

Jon, call me and setup a time. I have no problem breaking away from the work here for a little bit to assist you and your brother. If your brother is just doing daily driving with moderate sport cruising a decent set of mintex reds will suffice just fine on that car. GAP stocks them… ---

I use Pagid pads in my car. I really like those after driving around with them for a while. They dust a pretty good amount, but overall they perform great! i have RS 4-2-1 street compound. ---

I have done Germanautoparts in the past. The guy there used to work at my old job. I used them for the k04 fittings/gaskets/map/maf. I bought a whole bunch of stuff up there. Some stuff they had was about the same price with shipping on sites. Not sure about brakes pads but you can try. ---

same price with shipping. yes. thats because you arent paying tax on ECS. dont know about you, but id rather look at the product im buying before i buy it. and eCS has went down the drain in recent years too. GAP FTW. ---

Yes car is done and loving life again. Thanks again to Boxersix for the work, quality as always. I am now more fired up to see Boxersix’s projects finished, we are in for some very cool stuff. (went with mintex red from GAP, can’t beat supporting a good local business)
