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

The GD rotors feature wide aperture slots and blind drilled dimples. These are designed to help dispel gases, dirt, debris, and carbon deposits, which improves the overall braking effect and helps keep the rotors cooler.

How does the Nucap NRS hook system on the pads help?

The Nucap NRS hook system on the backing plate provides significantly stronger adhesion between the pad material and the plate. EBC states it offers five times the bond strength of conventional pads, ensuring durability and performance.

Does this kit include everything needed for the front brakes?

Yes, this kit is designed for the front axle of your Audi Q5 and includes both the GD slotted and dimpled rotors and the Orangestuff brake pads. It's a direct fit replacement for your stock components.
