Part of your disc braking system are your Audi S6 brake pads. Installed in your brakes you will find two S6 brake pads for each rotor. Your Audi S6 brake pads clamp down on either side of your rotors when you step on your brake pedal, which generates friction and provides uniform stopping.

S6 brake pads work together with rotors, brake calipers, a brake master cylinder, and various brake hose and brake lines to ensure that your car stops when you need it to stop. The most important part of your Audi S6 brake pads is the frictional lining. On each of your S6 brake pads you will find a thick sandpaper-like lining, which is glued or riveted to a metal backing plate.

The lining of your S6 brake pads is what actually generates the friction your brakes need to work. For most cars, the Audi S6 brake pad lining is made of organic material, including fillers and high-temperature resins. These types of S6 brake pads are sometimes referred to as "soft" brake pads, because they wear down faster than the metallic versions. Metallic Audi S6 brake pads typically consist of powered copper or bronze combined with friction modifying substances and inorganic filler. If your car is equipped with metallic S6 brake pads, you should be aware that they wear down your rotors faster than soft brake pads. Like the various filters on your engine, your Audi S6 brake pads are manufactured as replacement items. It is important to make sure that you change your S6 brake pads when the thickness of the lining drops below a quarter of an inch. Worn Audi S6 brake pads will damage your rotors and calipers, and cause dangerous driving situations.Look to us for all your S6 brake pad needs.
