RP700 Performance Brake Pads (Front)

Description

RacingLine RP700 Front Brake Pads are a direct replacement for the factory pads on MQB and MQB EVO cars, built for near-zero fade without a warmup period. The aramid fibre compound uses your standard brake hardware.

Key Features:

• Cold bite and high-temp resistance: The RP700 compound was developed to hold both, so the pads work on a cold morning and still resist fade at temperature.
• No warmup needed: Unlike most track-oriented compounds, these are usable from the first stop, which is what makes them viable daily.
• Direct factory fitment: Designed around the car’s existing brake hardware, so there is nothing to modify.
• Pedal feel focus: A specific development target, giving progressive braking rather than a sharp initial grab.
• Three disc sizes covered: 357mm for the Mk8 R and S3 8Y, 340mm for larger OEM brakes, 312mm for the smaller setup.

Fitment:

• Audi S3 8Y and VW Golf 8 R (357mm x 34mm, no pad wear sensor)
• Audi S3 8V, Q3 2018+ and VW Golf 7/7.5 GTI Performance Pack (340mm x 30mm)
• Audi A3 8V and TT 8S, VW Golf 7/7.5 non-Performance Pack (312mm)

Check your front disc diameter before selecting a size. The 357mm application has no pad wear sensor, so reuse or replace the existing one.
