►Replacing the front brake pads and rotors on your B8 Audi S4, S5, and SQ5 is an easy task that you can tackle yourself at home in your garage or driveway. With minimal special tools, you can have your rear brakes replaced in under two hours.
The Audi B8 S4 is a remarkably capable car, and with a few simple mods, it makes a considerable amount of power. To stop that, it’s crucial that you have the best brake parts and that they’re functioning optimally. Featured in this DIY are the Zimmerman Z coated brake rotors and TRW Ultra ceramic brake pads. TRW’s Ultra ceramic brake pads offer stopping power better than or equal to Audi’s OEM brake pads, all while staying quiet and dust-free.

Did you use adhesive for the outside pad?
Do I need pad shims for the brake pads? Mine seems to have clicking noise when I press my brake
Great video!!! Do you need to open the brake fluid reservoir cap prior to pushing the pistons back in?
Just did this today, thank you Aaron this DIY was helpful. Took a solid half hour of hammering and lots of penetrating oil to remove that rotor but the result was satisfying.
This setup fit on a A4 all road?
Never comment on anything but after watching this video I was easily able to do my front set of rotor and pads on my 2014 s4 keep up the great instructional videos
I can’t remember if it was the front or back but when I did mine I had to use a OBD scanner to retract my piston on the caliper. How did you do yours?
Great video. Followed step by step and couldn't have made my brake changed any easier. Greatly appreciated.
Does this same process apply to A4 Sline 2015?
Do you need to do any break-in? Also do you not spray the rotors with brake clean to get grease or coating?
You didn’t have to do brake bleeding ?
So no adhesive goes on the back of the pads?
Is it ok to install rotors that dirty? Like how long does it take and how much effort it needs to have a clean installation?
How'd you reset the brake light on the dash??
Hey I followed this video step by step and now I have no pressure on my brakes? Any recommendations?
I had brand new rotors and the caliper carrier is rubbing on them I don’t know what to do
I think the rotors were good, why did you changed them ??
Bro has an Audi/VW tattoo on his wrist. I'm taking advice from HIM.
So the flat heads the only thing that pushes piston back In
So you don’t have to glue the new brake pad on even though the old one was glued right?
When is the video on the W211 rear suspension control arms?
Well done, Aaron.
Good timing. Just ordered my new set of brake pads and rotors and plan on working on my car this weekend. Thanks!
