Your Audi S8 brake rotors, also known as brake discs, are the rotating part of your braking system that provides half of the friction your car needs to come to a safe and controlled stop. The other half is provided by your brake pads, which clamp down on the S8 brake rotors when you hit the brake pedal. The frictional lining of your brake pads is designed to wear away so your Audi S8 brake rotors don't have to.

Since the S8 brake rotors spin with your wheels, they also serve to throw off water and mud through centrifugal force, which keeps your brakes clean. Problems can develop with your Audi S8 brake rotors when you don't change your brake pads often enough.

Most likely, your car has brake pad sensors, which are a built-in warning system designed to let you know when you need fresh brake pads by emitting a high-pitched squeal that sounds as you are driving and stops when you step on your brakes. It is important to change your brake pads before they become too worn, because once the lining is gone your S8 brake rotors will be scraping against the metal backing plate instead of the sandpaper-like lining. This will wear down your Audi S8 brake rotors, and your brakes may lock up while you are driving. Loud grinding noises coming from your brakes can indicate damage to your S8 brake rotors. Another warning sign of faulty Audi S8 brake rotors is pulling to one side while braking. If your S8 brake rotors are damaged, you should replace them right away.
