[urq] Brake Upgrade

So let me get this straight, I have never really understood what brakes are 
standard on which model.

Does the MB & RR Urq's have exactly the same caliper (Girling G60) as the 
S4/S6 and the V8?

I use Pagid RS 2-4 blue pads in the front and these have been exellent, only 
problem has been a bit of brake dust...

That's the stock Audi setup for the front brakes on the MB & RR Ur-quattros
and the rear brakes on the RR.
With those units I've found that EBC 'Green Stuff' pads give excellent
results.
