Fitment Information

These rotors are specifically designed for the rear of the Audi A4 Quattro models from 1996 to 2001. It's important to note that if you decide to upgrade your rear pads, you should also upgrade the front pads to ensure balanced braking performance.

Installation Notes

The Thermic Black coating does not need to be removed prior to installation. In fact, this coating will wear off in the pad-swept area after the first 10 to 20 stops, ensuring optimal braking performance right from the start. Avoid using brake cleaner or any other methods to remove this coating, as doing so will void the warranty.
