The APR 15-20 Audi A3 Quattro Brake Pad Set - Advanced Track is a high-performance brake pad designed specifically for advanced track day enthusiasts. Constructed with a specialized compound, this set delivers full race-level braking performance and excellent fade resistance under track conditions. It features a mechanical retention system between the pad backing plate and friction material, ensuring maximum shear resistance at high temperatures. While capable of being used for street driving, it may produce brake squeal and increased disc wear during extended daily use. This pad set offers low pad wear, a slightly rising torque curve, and precise modulation, making it ideal for serious track use and performance driving.

Compatible with 2015-2020 Audi A3 Quattro models, this brake pad set is intended for track-focused applications but can be used for occasional street driving with some noise. It is suitable for advanced track day users who seek unmatched braking performance and durability, with a focus on fade resistance and low disc wear. While primarily designed as a direct replacement for stock pads, it is recommended for vehicles used in racing or high-performance driving scenarios. For daily driving, a two-pad strategy involving a high-performance street compound is suggested, but this set excels in providing maximum braking capability during track events.

Overview

The APR 15-20 Audi A3 Quattro Brake Pad Set - Advanced Track is a high-performance brake component designed for serious track enthusiasts. Crafted to deliver race-level stopping power, these brake pads are ideal for drivers who demand maximum response and fade resistance during intense driving conditions. While primarily intended for track use, they can be used for occasional street driving, though some brake squeal and accelerated disc wear may occur. This set offers a significant upgrade over standard or entry-level track pads, providing enhanced modulation, low pad wear, and consistent performance under high-temperature conditions.

Key Features

  • Specifically formulated for advanced track day applications
  • Full race performance with excellent fade resistance
  • Designed to remain gentle on discs under high-heat conditions
  • Mechanical retention system for maximum shear resistance
  • Low pad wear for extended track use
  • Slightly rising torque curve for predictable braking feel
  • Suitable for drivers seeking a dedicated track pad with occasional street use

Construction & Design

The brake pads employ a specialized friction material engineered for high-temperature durability and consistent response. The mechanical retention system ensures secure attachment of the friction material to the backing plate, supporting high shear forces during aggressive braking. This construction helps maintain pad integrity and performance during extended track sessions.

Driving Feel & Feedback

These pads provide a firm, predictable pedal feel with excellent modulation, allowing precise control during high-speed braking. While some squeal may be experienced during street use, the overall response is optimized for track conditions, offering confidence-inspiring feedback under demanding driving scenarios.

Installation & Fitment

Designed as a direct replacement for the OEM brake pads on 2015-2020 Audi A3 Quattro models, installation is straightforward for qualified technicians familiar with high-performance brake systems. Proper bedding-in procedures are recommended to maximize performance and longevity.
