Your Audi TT brake pads are part of your car's disc braking system. Along with your brake rotors, brake calipers, and various hoses, lines, and springs, your TT brake pads perform the important job of stopping your car when you need it to stop. Audi TT brake pads consist of a thick lining mounted on a metal backing plate.

The lining of your TT brake pads resembles sandpaper in texture, and is either glued or riveted to the plate. Audi TT brake pads with riveted lining are considered to be better quality than those which use glue.

Your TT brake pads are one of two types: metallic or non-metallic. This quality refers to the composition of the lining of your Audi TT brake pads. Metallic TT brake pads are made with powdered copper or bronze. The advantages to using metallic Audi TT brake pads are faster stopping and a longer brake pad life. However, metallic TT brake pads wear your rotors down faster. Non-metallic Audi TT brake pads are also called organic or soft brake pads. With organic TT brake pads, you must change them more frequently, but your rotors will last much longer. Your Audi TT brake pads are made specifically to be worn down as you use your brakes, so it is important to change them when the thickness of the lining drops below a quarter of an inch. Your car may have brake pad sensors that emit a high-pitched squealing noise when it is time to change your TT brake pads.Look to us for a great selection of Audi TT brake pads, metallic and organic, in stock and ready to ship to your door.
