APR Advanced Street Brake Pads - Audi S3 (8V) / Volkswagen Golf R/GTI (5G) - Front
APR builds its Advanced Street Pads as a direct upgrade over the factory friction material, aimed at drivers who push their Audi S3 or Volkswagen Golf R/GTI hard on the road without wanting race pad drawbacks. The compound holds up at temperatures well beyond OE limits while still delivering strong cold response, low disc wear and a firm, predictable pedal.
This listing covers the front pads (SKU BRK00041) for the Audi S3 (8V) and Volkswagen Golf R and GTI (5G). These platforms share a common front brake package, so the one pad set applies across the range.
Key Features
- High friction co-efficient tuned to street legal tyre grip levels
- Fade resistant well beyond typical OE operating temperatures
- Low thermal conductivity reduces heat transfer to calipers and fluid
- Consistent pedal feel with minimal fade under repeated hard use
- Low disc wear compared with race compound pads
- Pairs with APR Direct Replacement Brake Discs for a complete upgrade
