along with some hawk HPS pads by the chaps at Matrix. I got mine from Wholesale Direct parts, straight outa Anaheim, for $279 + shipping for both the front and rear, and they look identical. They sent the wrong fitment at first, but after about 3 weeks of calling them everyday they put it right. Very pleasant customer service, but v...e...r...y...s...l....o.....w. Tried bedding the pads, but its hard to find many straight, clear roads around here where I can do multiple 90 - 60mph runs. Still, no squeaks or crashing into things so far, so I guess they're working OK. Yeah, they do make a kind of thrip-thrip-thrip noise when i brake hard. I wonder if it's the pads hitting the edge of the slots..? Lots of zinc plating dust on my wheels too. I'll take some pics when i find the bloody lead for my camera....

2000 A8 Silver/Black with all the options, many of them working.
2005 A8 Black/Platinum with the cooling massaging seat things

Either be a great example or a horrible warning....
