Reading the comments makes me a little angry tbh. Audi dealers saying change pads at 40% or change the front wtaf!! Rust can be an issue if the car has sat for any length of time or washed recently, the disc get wet and corrode v quickly, do a few miles and this scrubbed off in no time, its not an issue or something to worry about. The fact Audi staff don't know there own vehicles or choose not to tell customers or advise of unnecessary work infuriates me!
In most Audis, at low speeds, the brake bias tends to lean slightly towards the rear, meaning a larger proportion of braking force is applied to the rear wheels compared to the front, which can sometimes lead to a feeling of "nose-diving" when braking hard at low speeds.
Explanation:
Weight transfer:
When braking, weight shifts forward, putting more load on the front wheels. To compensate, car manufacturers often design the brake system with a slight rear bias at low speeds to help maintain stability and prevent excessive front-end dive.
Handling characteristics:
A slight rear bias at low speeds can also aid in maneuverability by allowing the rear wheels to rotate more easily during tight turns.
A good example Imagine you are riding a motorbike and brake with front brake the front would dip down, at low speeds using the rear brake keeps the bike more level and in control.
I don't know if the brake bias can be altered and I don't think its a good idea to try and change it. Brake pad material will play a part in it, pads have different compounds that the pad is made up of, different working temperature ranges, only thing you could do is speak to a specialist like perhaps Demon tweeks. Performance pads usually need more heat and some squeal a lot when cold until they are up to temperature so its a bit of trial an error. Mintex 1144 or EBC green stuff (Fast Road) could be an option, whatever you do don't get Race Spec omfg.
My advice buy a BMW or turn up the stereo!!!
