Brake Pad Epytec Audi R8 Ceramic Aramid Handbrake Brake Caliper 4S0698451AC

Our Epytec Ceramic-Aramid Brake Pads can be easily combined with brake discs from almost any manufacturer – there is no specific brand affiliation here. The important thing is not the logo on the disc, but that the disc fits the respective braking system (dimensions, design, contact surface) and is technically in order.

Compatibility with all common brake disc manufacturers

Whether you use standard replacement discs or discs from the sports sector: Our Ceramic-Aramid pads work reliably with standard manufacturers as well as with performance suppliers. The interaction is uncritical in everyday use as well as in sportier driving, as long as the discs are correctly mounted and have no pre-existing damage.

Standard and sports brake discs: Both possible

You can combine our pads with:

• Standard brake discs (OEM/series quality)

• Sports brake discs (e.g., grooved/scorched, sometimes also drilled – depending on the design)

without any special adjustments needed, making it straightforward in practice.

What to consider for the best result

To fully exploit the advantages of the Ceramic-Aramid blend, we recommend a few simple points:

• Check the condition of the disc: No deep grooves, no strong edges, no cracks/hotspots. If in doubt, replace it.

• Appropriate specification: Disc diameter, thickness, hub height, and design must match the vehicle and caliper (as with any pad change).

• Clean installation: Clean hub (no lateral run-out), ensure guides are free-moving, correct torque.

• Brake in: After installation, brake in properly so that pad and disc “run in” optimally. This significantly improves durability and feel.

Advantage over many standard pads

Compared to many original brake pads, you will generally benefit from a noticeably better braking performance and a clearer pedal feel – especially when pads and discs are fresh and properly broken in.
