Q: i have a 1998 audi quattro 2.8 and i need the pads replaced and i was wondering whats better semi-metallic or axxis semi-metallic pads? which ones will last longer? beck arnley or raybestos?

A: semi-metallic is the same as the other brand you name.. just a brand name brake is all you need .... think like this the higher the price the better they last.. which is about 5 to 10,000 miles most cars need them replace about every other yrs... depending on now you drive.... any brand name you have heard of is fine
