After cleaning these wheels everytime my wife drives the car it was time to change in the brakes. The Audi RS7 is like the CTS-V. It makes a ton of brake dust but stops great. I was willing to give up some stopping power to make keeping it clean a lot easier. This is the process I use to change brakes and it was a little more challenging due to not having the correct tools. However I listed a link to a tool you need to help with the back brake install. After driving with the new brakes you can tell a difference but the fact it will have no more dust is worth it to me.

Thanks Travis! Knew this job wasn’t that hard- people telling me it would be very difficult compared to American made. Psych!

[@TWAMotorsports]

It isn't too bad

[@miiiikee_]

EBC reds will dust a lot less than stock but should give more initial bite than the powerstops. I use them in my built Golf R for daily and spirited use.

[@TWAMotorsports]

I have heard that but never used them. Thank you. I need to try them out

[@masssinner]

oo thanks, been wondering where else I can use a jack point on my s7

[@TWAMotorsports]

Hopefully it helps

[@brandondawson6896]

Happy New Year!! My wife had a Volvo XC90 with the same kind of lugs. It made it tough to put the wheel back on. Wasn’t a big fan of that style.

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you. Happy new year to you too. Such a weird design

[@donstevens7847]

Nice job Travis! Yeah they sell pullers for the plastic lug bolt caps on eBay for cheap, there may be one in with the jack too...

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you Don. I need to check with the jack.

[@The_Nomad_Detailer]

Hey man its funny that im seeing this video.... because I have been looking for an A7, so the algorithm pointed me to you LOL. But what is your honest opinion about the RS7? Im looking at getting an A7, so not the same motor, but would you recommend buying one or no? if so at what mileage would you recommend buying them at? Thanks man!

[@TWAMotorsports]

Beautiful car but it didn't stick around long

Thanks for the how to! About to go a change on our 17 S7 and this is very helpful. How did you release the electronic e brake on the rear?

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you. Button on console is the electronic e brake

[@jcooper7312]

You have to use an app or VCDS to retract the electronic "screws" for the rear e-brake. If you try to compress the rear pistons without doing this you can break them.

[@TWAMotorsports]

👍 great info. I took them apart and put them back together. Your method would have been a lot easier.

[@paulgeorge678]

Thank you for this video 🙏🏼😁

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you. Hope it helps you out

[@tdicarlo3]

Good video but you likely damaged your parking brakes. The correct tool is either vcds or obd11 to electronically release the parking brakes and then re engaging them after you’re done. You never want to compress or release it with force.

[@TWAMotorsports]

They worked fine afterwards

[@superior3384]

Whats up dude. First. Happy New year to you and your family

What's up. Thanks. Same to you and your family

thats a beautiful wrap. what material & brand is it?

Its not a wrap. Its factory paint

[@ayoitsyayo]

It was a pricey option

[@TWAMotorsports]

Yeah a crazy amount

[@cardellbrian]

@TWAMotorsports we installed these pads on my wife's RS7 and have a front end clunk that we think can only be related to the pads after running through the entire front end. Curious if you had any issues with brake pad shift with these or if you have any recommendations for an attempted fix?

[@TWAMotorsports]

I never had any issues. Definitely were worth it for less brake dust

[@mdgouse9627]

Good video bro but you didn't show how you will open and close rear parking motors and Jack mode .

Did you retract the electric parking. Take when you did this? How have the new pads been now that it’s been 6 months?

@@TWAMotorsports how many miles when sold and other than wear and tear maintenance like brakes filters and oil change did you have any otger issues. I'm looking at a 60k ish miles s7 audi.

No issues but new owner did blow up the car!

@@TWAMotorsports wtf how. Did the turbo oil filter clog up. Or was he an idiot and tuned the car with too much boost

[@TWAMotorsports]

No idea. Just heard from the dealer I traded it to

[@gordiejet]

DUDE! DUDE! You have to use a scanner to put electric E/M in service mode! You can simply pry pads back to replace. You GOT TO KNOW WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW BUD.

[@TWAMotorsports]

I was able to get it done by disassembly and reassembly

[@beejay8719]

Question after you put the new pads on was there a little more dust until they settled in?

[@TWAMotorsports]

Zero dust actually

[@beejay8719]

Thank you!

[@beejay8719]

Maybe you can answer this then. I put new power stop drilled and slotted rotors with the ceramic pads. I noticed on the ride home the the front had considerable more dust. I didn't get the same ones as you. I got the sport ones but still carbon fiber ceramic

[@TWAMotorsports]

You're welcome

Sounds like that one is dragging
