Dynamic Friction Company Disc Brake Pad Set P/N:1551-1551-00
Get a consistent pedal feel and confident brake response with the Dynamic Friction Company DFC 5000 Advanced Brake Pad Set (P/N 1551-1024-00, also written 1551102400). This low-metallic front brake pad set installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2009-2011 Audi A6 Quattro, 2004-2010 Audi A8 Quattro, 2007-2011 Audi S6, 2007-2009 Audi S8, and 2004-2006 Volkswagen Phaeton — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific coverage.
This set covers the front axle. When your pads show signs of wear — squeal, reduced stopping response, or a thin friction layer — replacing them restores the intended braking material. For even, balanced braking it is best practice to service both sides of the axle together and inspect the rotors at the same time.
Which vehicles does this brake pad set fit?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2009-2011 Audi A6 Quattro, 2004-2010 Audi A8 Quattro, 2007-2011 Audi S6, 2007-2009 Audi S8, and 2004-2006 Volkswagen Phaeton. See the Buyer's Guide tab for full coverage.
Is this a front or rear brake pad set?
The catalog lists this as a FRONT position disc brake pad set, so it services the front axle of the listed applications.
What friction material is used?
These are low-metallic pads, part of the DFC 5000 Advanced line, using selected original-equipment friction formulations that are designed to be rotor-friendly with long pad wear.
Will these work with ABS and automated braking?
Yes. The friction materials are selected to meet the demands of modern vehicles equipped with ABS and automated braking systems.
Should I replace both sides at once?
It's best practice to service both sides of the axle together as a matched pair for even, balanced braking, and to inspect the rotors while the pads are off.
