Vehicle Fitment

• 2011-2013 Audi A8 Quattro (D4, 3.0L Supercharged V6, AWD)
• 2011-2013 Audi A8 Quattro (D4, 4.2L V8, AWD)

Fitment Notes

• Front axle application only - see EBC DP31988C for the matching SQ5 rear set; A8 Quattro rear pads vary by year and engine
• Does not fit 2020+ Audi A8 (D5 facelift) - revised front pad geometry requires a different part number
• Does not fit 2019+ Audi SQ5 (B9 platform) - new-generation SQ5 uses a different front caliper and pad
• Verify rotor diameter and caliper type before ordering - D4 A8 models with upgraded sport braking packages may use non-standard front calipers
• Not intended for track, racing, or competition use - street use only

Features

• Aramid fiber / ceramic composite delivers strong, consistent cold bite that improves progressively with heat
• Up to 80% brake dust reduction versus OEM pads - residue washes off easily with no steel fiber particles
• EBC Brake-In red surface coating conditions rotors and speeds up pad bed-in from first installation
• Shimmed and chamfered backplates for quiet, vibration-free braking in refined luxury street driving
• 15% brake efficiency improvement over OEM compound; ECE R90 type approved for street-legal use
• Nucap NRS mechanical retention hooks on backplates prevent pad delamination under repeated heavy use

Product Description

The EBC DP32087C Redstuff Ceramic brake pads are engineered for the front axle of the Audi A8 Quattro (D4 platform, 2011-2019) and the first-generation Audi SQ5 (B8, 2013-2018), covering a wide range of powertrains from the supercharged 3.0L V6 and 4.2L V8 to the twin-turbocharged 4.0L V8 and 3.0L TDI diesel. Built on an aramid fiber base enhanced with ceramic particles, these pads deliver confident cold braking bite while dramatically cutting the dust that builds up on the A8 and SQ5's large premium alloy wheels.

A direct front OEM replacement, the DP32087C installs without modification on all supported D4 A8 and B8 SQ5 variants. The red Brake-In surface coating accelerates initial pad bedding, and Nucap NRS backing plate hooks ensure long-term pad retention under repeated street driving. For balanced brake performance, EBC recommends pairing with the matching rear Redstuff set and applying the same compound on both axles.
