Audi S8 Brake Pads: Compare at The Parts Bin

All Audi S8 brake pads are not the same! There are two basic types of S8 brake pads, and they each perform differently as part of your disc braking system. Though all Audi S8 brake pads have the same basic structure, there is a difference in the materials they are constructed with. S8 brake pads consist of a metal backing plate with a frictional lining that is either glued or riveted to the surface.

In general, riveted Audi S8 brake pads are stronger than glued. The difference between the two types of S8 brake pads lies in the composition of the lining.

The lining of your Audi S8 brake pads, which resembles ultra-thick sandpaper, is made with either metallic or non-metallic substances. Copper and bronze are the most common metals used in metallic S8 brake pads. The powdered metal is supplemented with inorganic fillers and friction-enhancing substances. Non-metallic Audi S8 brake pads, also called organic or "soft" brake pads, usually consist of a high-temperature resin with organic fillers. Since metallic S8 brake pads provide more braking power and dissipate heat more readily, these types of brake pads are often used in high-performance vehicles that demand a lot from their brakes, such as race cars, ambulances and fire trucks. Most manufacturers use organic or "soft" Audi S8 brake pads. Though they need to be replaced more frequently, organic S8 brake pads are not as abrasive to your rotors as the metallic varieties. Therefore, there is a trade-off present in the type of Audi S8 brake pads you use on your car. Metallic S8 brake pads last longer and stop better, but wear down rotors faster; organic Audi S8 brake pads must be replaced more often, but allow your rotors to last longer.You will find a great selection of metallic and organic S8 brake pads in our convenient online catalogue.
