Come on. Front brake pads for the RSQ8 for $.38,97?!!
I guess this is a joke.
ATE does not have brake pads for the RSQ8. At least I don't see them from the EU level.
It has ceramic pads for SQ8, which I posted above.
When selecting pads, look for them by the PR number of the car and the ATE catalog number. If I remember correctly, the pads for RSQ8 have a completely different shape than those for SQ8. Also front pads for SQ8 are different and larger than these for Q8 (214mm vs 194mm).
So far, apart from OEM pads, I have never seen pads for the RSQ8 that come from a trusted manufacturer.
PS, Please note that the ATE ceramic pads which I posted have slightly different part number than those posted by you. "Your" ATE pads are standard.

Maybe a dumb question but where do I find PR numbers for my 2022 SQ8 so I can order me some ceramic pads from ATE?

retom

There is one sticker in the owners manual with PR numbers. Second the same should be in the trunk under the cover.
In the sticker enclosed below 1KD and 1ZC are the PR numbers for rear and front pads:

the audi SQ8 2022 brake pad part numbers
front 4M0698151BL
rear 4M0698451BF

but check this

retom

Front are BL or BB
Rear are AC, BE, AD, BF, AB, BG
The above depends of PR number.

There’s a guy in the in the A8 / S8 (D3 Platform) Discussion who will decide VINs to get PRs. VIN Decoder

Here’s mine.

1KX Rear
1ZR Front

Anyone else with an RSQ8 with steel care to compare their PRs?

Odd is that I thought our rears were identical (SQ8 & RSQ8). I guess not.

Does this mean there are 6 different types of rear pads for SQ8 alone? Weird

ThomasWShea

On the audi USA site, it talks about if the car is made before or after some date in 2021. There are part numbers for each. I gave the part numbers for after that date. Are the other letter codes for different regions?

retom

No, they are interchangeable as long as the car has the same PR code. That is why very often the aftermarket pads fit to couple of OEM pads with different letters.
RSQ8 and SQ8 have different rear rotors and pads. RSQ8 has 370mm steel rotors and pads 4M0698451 or 4M0698451B. SQ8 has the same number but always with 2 letters on the end. Also RSQ8 pads are 3 times more expensive than these for SQ8. Noblesse oblige (to pay) more

So for my 2022 SQ8 (US):

Rear: PR 1KD (via trunk sticker), therefore ATE Trade/part #: LD2614
Front: PR 1ZC (via trunk sticker), therefore ATE Trade/part #: LD5692

Don't see a good source online in the US to purchase these ATE ceramic pads yet. I chatted online with ECS Tuning; not available there yet but they indicated they would try to get them added; their vendor has them backordered with no ETA yet.
