Brake dics and pads brands

E46Dream

Hey guys, I'm looking to change my dics and pads all round on my Audi A6 soon and I need some advice on which brand is the best for both?

Brands I'm seeing so far are Brembo, Mintex, Juratec and Blueprint. Is there actually any quality difference or are they all made the same?

Need to join an Audi forum bud all the relevent information will be there, unless there's a few Audi ppl here? Without the honda insight forum I'm on I would be clueless

I find the Blueprint air and oil filters bad fitting and generally cheap feeling but never used their pads, have used Mintex pads before and found them grand.

I've found Mintex to be a bit dusty but otherwise fine
I've used Blueprint discs and pads with no issues.

Delphi brand is good imo.

Out of the brands you listed Brembo are the best followed by the rest in the order listed.
Blueprint repackage a lot of stuff, you can find anything in their boxes.

where are you sourcing them. I bought rear disks and pads for a Volvo last week from Mister-Auto.ie and range and prices were a good bit better than I could source locally. Despite the .ie domain it transpired the parts were shipped from the French country so allow about a week for delivery. I ordered mine on Sun evening and had them delivered on Fri without paying extra for immediate dispatch or priority shipping. Shipping was included on orders over €50

I wouldn't use Mintex brake pads as I had pad separated from the backing plate pads was like a year old no joke when it happened it was could have easy be fatal crash

I would generally tend to use whatever the motor factors I use give me without questioning it. They are reputable and I would have good faith that they aren't selling crap. A lot of Blueprint stuff seems to be sold wherever you go now. They seem to be good enough and well enough made to me for whatever I have used.

The like of Brembo are probably pretty good I have no doubt but think there is an element that you are paying for the name too.

Nothing wrong with blueprint, I've used many of their bits and bobs.

I've been using EBC discs and pads on my cars over then last 10-12 years and cant fault them. They're more expensive than many others but worth it for the braking performance.

I've used both EBC disks/pads and Brembo on my Allroad. Always found them good.
