EBC S8 Brake Pad and Rotor Kit

If you're looking to significantly improve your 2012-2018 Audi Q5's stopping performance, this EBC S8 Brake Pad and Rotor Kit is a solid choice. This kit bundles EBC's GD slotted and dimpled rotors with their Orangestuff brake pads, designed to work together for better braking under demanding conditions. The rotors are built to handle high temperatures, up to 800-900°C, and feature a Thermic black coating to resist corrosion, keeping them looking good and performing well. The GD rotors also have wide aperture slots that help clear out gases, debris, and carbon buildup, which is crucial for maintaining consistent braking force.

The Orangestuff brake pads included in this kit are engineered for longer life and quieter operation compared to many performance pads. They use a Nucap NRS hook system for the backing plate, which provides a much stronger bond than traditional methods, ensuring the pad material stays put even under heavy use. The deep grooves on the pads also aid in venting and debris removal, further contributing to the cooling and overall effectiveness of the braking system. This kit is designed as a direct fit, meaning no modifications are needed over your stock setup, making installation straightforward.

This kit is sold in pairs for front or rear fitment, and this specific part number, S8KF1275, is for the front of your Audi Q5. It includes vented rotors with 5 bolt holes, measuring 345mm in diameter, 30mm thick, and a 68mm center hole diameter. While these are built for serious use, it's important to note that EBC does not offer a warranty for race use. For daily driving, however, you can expect improved stopping power and a longer lifespan from this well-built kit.
