I have a 2006 B7 and i need new brakes. Now from what i hear they are a little expensive at the dealership (1200) and for that kind of money i would rather buy some nice after market rotors and brakes.

I do have a friend thats a mechanic so installing them wont be a problem. My problem is finding a place where i can purchase them.

Does anyone know of a good place to go to purchase good after market brakes in Kitchener Waterloo or even Toronto area and does anyone have some good advice as to which kinds i should be looking at??

 

Euroline
Lakeshore/ hurontario area, Mississauga
You looking for around 300$ for good parts

 

If you don't need your car for a few days and if you are brave enough, i'd say do it yourself. just make sure you have all the parts and tools required. It's not hard at all!

 

just get them from some shops like IT or H2 sports.. and JRP in Mississauga area

or online !!! online +1 ^^ but you are gonna wait a bit .. like a week or so.

 

i got mine done at a midas muffler shop. they did a great job. i didnt change the rotors , just the pads. i think i paid under 250.00 for all 4 pads (installed). That was 8 mos ago and they are still just fine

 

I wouldn't got to Midas for Audi, unless you get the original parts from an Audi dealer or so, Midas use very low quality parts. $250 for 4 pads parts and labor ??? I got just the front pads for $130, and I did the installation my self, it's easy, I wouldn't go for cheap parts with an Audi. If you don’t want to use high performance parts, at least get your parts from an Audi dealer, that’s my 2C

 

Hey buddy, I have the same car, got the pads for $ 130 and the rotors for $240 for the front brakes, from the dealer, made in Germany, I don’t think you will need to change the rear brakes. The following is a link for how to do the installation yourself,

20 steps to B7 brakes (DIY) - Audizine Forums

get your hand dirty and try it, it’s not a difficult job, plus you will have the satisfaction of the DIY and save some money plus you will use a good quality parts. If you need any help, just ask I just did the same job few days ago, good luck

 

Thanks for all the input. I think i might try installing them myself and see how that goes.

 

Please, for the love of god....get proper jack stands and put the whole car on them. Don't leave the car on the jack! whatever you do!
Make sure the jack stands are sitting at the correct spots on each corner of the car. (Don't rely on the hand brake or the gears to stop your car from rolling...if you jack one side of the car up. anything can happen. The jackstands are stable. a 2 Ton stand at each corner should be enough. )

Lots of guys in the USA have been crushed when their Chevelles or 442 Cutlass Supremes fell on them.
I know a guy who's friend was killed this way.

Please make sure you are aware of your safety! The car comes 2nd.

Also...before you embark on this, do a little research and get the right tools for the job.

I've done this on a B5 so ask me (or anyone knowledgable) if you have questions or need help.

P.S. I may have misspelled knowledgable.

 

Yeah, i was SCARED shitless lmao when me and Yuri were changing my DV like a month ago!, We learned that night GET JACK STANDS!!!
