You change your oil like clockwork according to the manufacturer's guidelines, but how often do you change your Audi RS6 brake pads? Replacing your RS6 brake pads when necessary is one of the simplest preventative maintenance steps you can take for your car, but unfortunately, it's also one of the most overlooked. Your Audi RS6 brake pads are designed to wear out, because your brakes need friction to work properly. If you have ever seen a worn RS6 brake pad, you may understand why it's so important to keep up with changing them.

Audi RS6 brake pads are composed of a frictional lining, usually around half an inch thick, that is either riveted or glued to a metal backing plate. The lining of your RS6 brake pads is made with either metallic or organic material that presses against your brake discs (rotors) to generate the friction that stops the rotational motion of your wheels.

Audi RS6 brake pads, particularly the organic versions, are designed to wear away so your rotors don't have to. If your RS6 brake pads are not changed when the thickness reaches a certain point, you will end up with a metal plate grinding against your rotors.

This is obviously not good for your rotors, and it can also damage the calipers upon which your Audi RS6 brake pads are mounted. Since brake failure is the last thing you want, especially while you are driving, you should be sure to keep up with your RS6 brake pad maintenance. For most models, your Audi RS6 brake pads are connected to brake pad sensors that warn you with a high-pitched squealing sound when your RS6 brake pads are becoming too thin to do their jobs properly.It is easy to replace your worn Audi RS6 brake pads when you order a new set from our extensive online catalogue.
