Rear pads and upper control arms

[MCPCJC]

Hi All
I will soon be doing a rear brake refresh on my B7 RS4 and wanted to replace the pads, they are Pagid at the moment but wanted to know who makes the oem Audi rear pads as don’t want to get a new set if there the same or just go for a set of EBC red stuff. Also wanted to replace the rear upper control arms but have been told I need to drop the rear subframe is this the case ?
Many thanks.

Can’t help with the subframe but I’ve fitted pagid to various cars over the years and will always choose them if available.
Good quality pad that seems to dust much less than the others.

Hi
Yes don’t have a problem with Pagid just wanted to try something else and Audi closed to ask, can’t find a definitive answer on line.

My guess is they will be from TRW or ATE, I’ve also seen Pagid suggested too.
I wouldn’t be concerned about using any of the above they are all high quality.
Brembo is another to consider easily available.

Are the rear brakes Brembo? If so i would go for brembo pads, i have an RS2 with Brembos and got a set on ebay last August.

Fronts are Brembo rears are TRW callipers.
