What is the main benefit of the GD slotted and dimpled rotors?

The GD rotors feature wide slots and blind drilled dimples. These are designed to help expel gases, dirt, and debris from the pad surface, which improves brake effectiveness and helps keep the brakes cooler under load.

How do the EBC Orange Stuff pads differ from standard pads?

The Orange Stuff pads are formulated for longer life and improved stopping power, especially under higher temperatures. They feature deep grooves to aid venting and a Nucap NRS hook system for a stronger bond to the backing plate, contributing to their performance.

Does this kit include everything needed for installation?

This kit includes the EBC GD rotors and EBC Orange Stuff brake pads. While it's a direct fit, it's always recommended to check the manufacturer's installation instructions for any specific hardware or preparation steps required for your vehicle.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to significantly improve your Audi Q5's stopping performance, especially for spirited driving or track days, this EBC S8 Brake Pad and Rotor Kit is a solid choice. This kit bundles EBC's high-performance GD slotted and dimpled rotors with their Orange Stuff brake pads, designed to work together for better braking in demanding situations.

The GD rotors feature wide slots that help vent gases, dirt, and debris away from the pad surface, which keeps the brakes cooler and more effective. The dimples are blind drilled to prevent cracking and also aid in gas and debris removal. EBC coats these rotors with a Thermic black finish for excellent corrosion resistance, and they're inspected for runout to ensure they spin true. The Orange Stuff pads are built for longer life and consistent stopping power, even under high heat, thanks to their deep grooves that aid venting and a strong Nucap NRS hook system for a secure bond to the backing plate. This setup is engineered to handle temperatures up to 900°C.

This kit is a direct fit for your 2012-2018 Audi Q5, meaning no modifications are needed over the stock setup. While these pads offer improved performance and longevity, it's important to note that EBC does not offer a warranty for race use. For daily driving, however, you can expect a notable improvement in braking feel and fade resistance.
