Restore and enhance your vehicle’s braking response with the Brembo Premium Low-Metallic OE Equivalent Front Brake Pad Set (P85144). Engineered specifically for performance-oriented European platforms like the Audi S3, Audi A3 Quattro, Volkswagen Golf R, and GTI, these premium pads provide the exact biting power and thermal stability intended by the manufacturer.

Constructed from an advanced, low-metallic friction compound tailored for the North American market, this set delivers aggressive, predictable cold and hot friction levels. To guarantee a refined driving experience, Brembo integrates multi-layer premium shims alongside precision-engineered chamfers and slots to eliminate harsh vibrations and noise. Each pad is thermally scorched to accelerate the bedding-in process and minimize initial fade, keeping your vehicle safe from the moment they are installed. Backed by stringent ECE-R90 safety certification, this kit comes complete with premium stainless-steel hardware and premium lubricant for a flawless, direct-fit installation.
