A disc brake pad presses against the spinning rotor when you apply the brakes, turning the vehicle's motion into heat to slow it down. If you are shopping for 2004-2009 Audi S4 brake pads because your current set is worn, inspect the rotors at the same time. Follow the vehicle service procedure for installation.
