2016-2026+ Audi Q7 / SQ7 (4M) CCB Big Brake Kit — Genuine Akebono OEM Audi RS 6-Piston (9N) Caliper Front + TTSPORT EP4 4-Piston Caliper with EPB Rear Setup
The 2016-2026+ Audi Q7 / SQ7 4M is heavy enough to expose iron-rotor heat, pad dust, and front-end mass during repeated high-speed stops or mountain driving. This StopFlex kit pairs a 400mm carbon-ceramic front rotor with the Genuine Akebono OEM Audi RS 6-Piston (9N) Caliper, then matches it to a 380mm rear carbon-ceramic setup with TTSPORT EP4 EPB calipers for rear thermal capacity without deleting the factory parking brake function. Every bracket, rotor-hat offset, and caliper mount is engineered for the customer’s confirmed Q7 or SQ7 trim, not treated as a generic 4M-platform bolt-on.
- 400mm front rotors require 20-inch or larger wheels on the Q7 / SQ7 4M; wheels under 20 inches will not clear, and spoke clearance must still be checked.
- Front braking is built around the Genuine Akebono OEM Audi RS 6-Piston (9N) Caliper, giving this 4M SUV a six-piston fixed-caliper front upgrade instead of a cosmetic rotor-only conversion.
- The rear axle uses a 380mm carbon-ceramic rotor with TTSPORT EP4 4-Piston Caliper with EPB, so the Q7 / SQ7 keeps electronic parking brake operation while adding rear brake heat capacity.

Every StopFlex kit is bespoke-engineered for your exact model and trim — the brackets, rotor-hat offsets, and caliper mounting are matched to your specific car, not assumed from the platform. This matters because trims that share a chassis name can differ mechanically: a pure M or performance variant often carries different front knuckles/uprights, hub geometry, and wheel axial (ET) clearance than the standard models in the same family, so a bracket and hat offset that bolt onto one are not the same parts that fit the other. StopFlex supplies the calipers, pads, rotor hats, floating hardware, and brake lines as a matched system built to your confirmed trim. Cars with modified knuckles, modified uprights, or non-factory suspension mounting points must be reviewed before ordering and are not treated as direct-fit.
This setup uses a 400 mm front rotor, so the minimum wheel size is 20". Wheels under 20" will not clear the caliper and rotor, and spoke profile and offset affect clearance too — confirm your exact wheels before ordering.

Caliper Overview — Front & Rear Balance
Front Caliper (Primary Upgrade)
The front upgrade uses the Genuine Akebono OEM Audi RS 6-Piston (9N) Caliper exactly as specified for this kit. Its six-piston fixed layout spreads clamping force across the pad for stable pedal response and more even pressure on the 400mm carbon-ceramic rotor. Because it is a genuine OEM-derived Audi RS caliper rather than an unproven generic casting, it gives the Q7 / SQ7 buyer a credible performance-caliper foundation with known production-car provenance.
Rear Caliper (Balance)
The rear axle uses the TTSPORT EP4 4-Piston Caliper with EPB on a 380mm carbon-ceramic rotor to add rear thermal capacity and help the front upgrade work as a balanced system. The EP4 uses four hydraulic service pistons for braking plus a dedicated EPB actuator piston, preserving the Q7 / SQ7 factory electronic parking brake function.
Front & rear, engineered together: The 400mm front and 380mm rear carbon-ceramic package is engineered together so the SUV does not receive a front-only brake increase that leaves rear heat capacity and brake balance behind. StopFlex matches brackets, rotor hats, line routing, and caliper positioning to the confirmed Q7 or SQ7 trim so the front Akebono and rear EP4 hardware work as one system.
Make It Yours — Color & Logo Customization
Every StopFlex kit-upgrade order can be finished with custom caliper colors, a custom caliper logo, and custom rotor hat colors, so the brake package matches your exact build instead of a fixed off-the-shelf look.

Why StopFlex CCB
Lower Unsprung Mass
StopFlex carbon-ceramic rotors are engineered to reduce rotor mass versus comparable iron discs, helping the suspension react cleaner and the steering feel more precise.
High-Temperature Stability
The carbon-silicon-carbide matrix is built for stable braking behavior at temperatures that can push iron rotors into heavy fade.
Rust-Free Rotor Surface
Carbon ceramic does not form orange flash rust after rain, washing, or storage, keeping the visible rotor face cleaner behind open wheels.
Long Street-Service Potential
In normal road use with matched pads and proper bedding, StopFlex CCB rotors are designed for far longer service life than typical iron replacement rotors.
Low Visible Dust
When paired with matched StopFlex pads, the system produces very low visible brake dust compared with conventional iron rotor and pad combinations.
Premium Ceramic-Glaze Appearance
StopFlex's proprietary coating creates a bright, high-end ceramic-glaze finish with subtle glaze texture and a more premium visual character behind open wheels.
Street-Usable Cold Bite
Street Spec and Track-Day Spec rotors are designed for normal first-stop road use, including cold-weather operation. Motorsport Spec is the competition-focused exception.
Continuous Fiber Reinforcement
Long-fiber carbon ceramic construction improves structural strength and thermal durability versus chopped-fiber approaches.
Heat Management Note
Carbon ceramic rotors tolerate extreme surface temperature, but they do not remove every heat-management requirement. During repeated hard stops, heat can still soak into pads, fluid, seals, calipers, wheels, and nearby components. For long track sessions, mountain descents, or sustained aggressive driving, brake cooling and high-temperature fluid are still recommended.
Street / Track-Day / Motorsport Rotor Options
Street Spec
Ceramic coating, cross-drilled face, and large cooling channels.
Best for daily driving and premium street builds that need clean cold bite, low dust, corrosion-free appearance, and long service life.
Track-Day Spec
Ceramic coating, blank face, and honeycomb cooling channels.
Best for fast-road and track-day use where repeated braking stability matters more than maximum visual drilling style.
Motorsport Spec
Uncoated blank face with honeycomb cooling channels.
Best for race-focused builds that run competition pads, high-temperature fluid, cooling strategy, and a proper warm-up window. Not the default street choice.

EPB & Rear Caliper Options
This vehicle leaves the factory with an electronic parking brake (EPB) built into the rear brake, so the rear of the kit is built to keep that EPB working. There are two rear paths. The first is a dual-caliper rear: a main performance caliper handles braking while a dedicated EPB actuator caliper is retained alongside it, so the electronic parking brake, auto-hold, and hill-start assist all keep working; on this path the rear performance caliper can be the TTSPORT EP4 / EP4S 4-piston caliper. The second is an EPB-integrated caliper, a single rear caliper with the electromechanical parking-brake motor built in for a cleaner install with fewer parts behind the wheel; on this path the rear is the TTSPORT EP4 / EP4S 4-piston caliper with integrated EPB. Which path fits best depends on your exact trim and EPB configuration, your budget, your appearance preference, and your wheel size and spoke clearance. Confirm your car's rear-brake configuration with StopFlex before ordering so the correct EPB-compatible rear option is built for your kit.
| Rear option | What it is | Rear caliper | Best when |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dual caliper (EPB retained) | Performance caliper plus a dedicated EPB actuator caliper, both fitted on the rear, so the factory electronic parking brake keeps working. | TTSPORT EP4 / EP4S 4-Piston Caliper | You want guaranteed factory EPB, auto-hold, and hill-start behavior preserved. |
| EPB-integrated caliper | A single rear caliper with the electromechanical parking-brake motor built in, for a cleaner install with fewer parts behind the wheel. | TTSPORT EP4 / EP4S 4-Piston Caliper with integrated EPB | You want a cleaner single-caliper rear with full EPB function. |

FAQ
Will this kit fit my exact 2016-2026+ Audi Q7 or SQ7 4M?
Fitment is confirmed per vehicle, not assumed from the 4M chassis code. StopFlex verifies your model year, Q7 or SQ7 trim, front knuckle/upright package, hub geometry, wheel size, offset, and spoke clearance before finalizing brackets, rotor-hat offsets, and caliper mounts.
What wheel size do I need for the 400mm front rotor?
The 400mm front rotor requires 20-inch or larger wheels; wheels under 20 inches will not clear the rotor. A 20-inch wheel still needs spoke-clearance confirmation because the Genuine Akebono OEM Audi RS 6-Piston (9N) Caliper occupies more radial and lateral space than many factory Q7 brake packages.
Will the electronic parking brake still work?
Yes. The rear uses the TTSPORT EP4 4-Piston Caliper with EPB, which has four hydraulic service pistons for braking and a dedicated EPB actuator piston so the Q7 / SQ7 retains factory electronic parking brake convenience.
Why choose carbon-ceramic rotors instead of another iron big-brake kit?
Carbon-ceramic rotors reduce brake dust, cut rotating and unsprung mass, and hold up better to repeated heat cycles than conventional iron rotors when properly matched with the correct pads. On a large 4M Q7 or SQ7, the main gains are cleaner wheels, better heat stability, and less front-end brake mass around a 400mm rotor package.
