Fit HP2 style caliper for an 01 audi a6 quattro. Brake "puck" style instead of a single pad setup. Looks confusing but very easy to do. Single dimple pads face inward(outside pad) and the 2 dimple pads are the inside pads with sensors attached to the top pad on each side. Calipers have slots for dimples to find there placement

These are hands down some of the best brakes we have used. We have a transportation company with drivers that have very little respect for our cars and we used to burn through brakes like crazy. Used these one time (rather than competitor brakes from other stores) and they have actually lasted longer than 10,000 miles and still going strong! Changed out all of our vehicles to carquest brand (personal and commercial) and have no intention of switching again as long as the quality and the price stay like they are.
