Designed for a consistent pedal feel and responsive braking, the Dynamic Friction Company DFC 5000 Advanced Ceramic front brake pads, part number 1551-2099-10, are a direct-fit replacement for the 2017-2020 Audi RS3 and the 2018-2022 Audi TT RS Quattro.

This ceramic disc brake pad set belongs to Dynamic Friction's DFC 5000 Advanced line.
Brake pads wear gradually with every stop. Squealing or grinding, a brake wear warning, longer stopping distances or visibly thin friction material are signs the pads may need replacing. For even, balanced braking, replace the front pads on both sides at the same time, and inspect the rotors while the wheels are off.
Is this the right Audi RS3 brake pad for my 2017-2020 Audi RS3?
These front pads are a direct-fit replacement for the 2017-2020 Audi RS3, and they also fit the 2018-2022 Audi TT RS Quattro.
What friction material do these pads use?
They are ceramic pads from the DFC 5000 Advanced line and use selected original equipment manufacturer formulations suited to vehicles with ABS and automated braking systems.
Are these pads hard on rotors?
Dynamic Friction describes these pads as rotor friendly and designed for long pad wear. Actual pad and rotor life depends on driving habits and rotor condition.
What are the signs that brake pads may need replacing?
Common signs are squealing or grinding when braking, a brake wear warning light, longer stopping distances, or friction material that looks thin during inspection.
Should I replace the pads on both sides at once?
Yes. Replacing the front pads on both sides together is recommended for even, balanced braking. Inspect the rotors at the same time and follow the vehicle's service procedure.
