Identify your car by chassis code before ordering. The second-generation RS3 uses the 8V code, while the closely related TT RS uses 8S. Model year matters as well, as several listings are specified for 2017 onwards.

Also confirm whether you need the front or rear axle set, and check your existing caliper and rotor sizes, as RS3 models were offered with more than one front brake package. Your VIN and build plate details are the most reliable way to confirm the specification, and the Brembo part number on each listing can be cross-checked against your current pads.

Brake pad replacement calls for a jack and axle stands, a torque wrench, a caliper piston tool or wind-back tool where applicable, brake cleaner and the correct fasteners. Cars with an electronic park brake generally require a diagnostic tool to retract the rear calipers into service mode.

Brakes are a safety-critical system, so installation by a professional workshop is strongly recommended. New pads should be bedded in according to the manufacturer's published procedure before hard use, and fluid condition should be checked at the same time.

Do these pads suit both the RS3 sedan and Sportback?
Both body styles share the 8V platform. Confirm the axle, caliper type and model year against the fitment details on the product page.

What does NAO Ceramic mean?
NAO stands for Non-Asbestos Organic. Brembo's NAO Ceramic formulation is a road-oriented compound designed for low dust and quiet operation.

Are rotors included?
No. These listings are brake pad sets only. Rotors, sensors and hardware are sold separately where available.
