2017-2024 Audi A5 / S5 / RS5 (B9) CCB Big Brake Kit — Genuine Akebono OEM Audi RS 6-Piston (9N) Caliper Front + TTSPORT EP4 4-Piston Caliper with EPB Rear Setup
B9 Audi A5, S5, and RS5 owners shop this kit when the factory iron setup adds dust and heat load, or when OEM carbon-ceramic service cost makes a complete matched replacement more logical. StopFlex pairs a 400mm front carbon-ceramic rotor with the Genuine Akebono OEM Audi RS 6-Piston (9N) Caliper, then matches the rear with a TTSPORT EP4 4-Piston Caliper with EPB on a 380mm carbon-ceramic rotor. The result is higher thermal capacity, lower rotating mass than comparable iron hardware, reduced brake dust, and fitment built around the exact B9 trim instead of a platform-wide assumption.
- 400mm front carbon-ceramic rotor requires 20-inch or larger wheels on the 2017-2024 Audi A5 / S5 / RS5 B9; wheels under 20 inches will not clear the package, and spoke clearance still must be checked.
- Front braking is based on the Genuine Akebono OEM Audi RS 6-Piston (9N) Caliper, selected for owners who want an OEM-derived Audi RS caliper rather than a generic aftermarket front caliper.
- Rear braking uses a 380mm carbon-ceramic rotor with the TTSPORT EP4 4-Piston Caliper with EPB, so the B9’s electronic parking-brake function is retained while rear thermal capacity is increased.

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 primary front upgrade is the Genuine Akebono OEM Audi RS 6-Piston (9N) Caliper, a six-piston fixed caliper that spreads pad load more evenly across the 400mm rotor face for stronger clamp control and a more stable pedal under repeated braking. Its credibility comes from being a genuine OEM-derived Audi RS caliper, not a renamed universal caliper, and it is paired here with StopFlex carbon-ceramic rotors, hats, pads, hardware, and lines engineered for the confirmed B9 trim.
Rear Caliper (Balance)
The rear axle uses the TTSPORT EP4 4-Piston Caliper with EPB on a 380mm carbon-ceramic rotor to add real rear thermal capacity and help keep the car settled under hard braking. The EP4 uses four hydraulic service pistons for braking plus a dedicated EPB actuator piston, preserving the factory electronic parking-brake function.
Front & rear, engineered together: This kit is engineered as a front-and-rear system so the 400mm Akebono front package and 380mm EP4 rear package are matched for rotor diameter, caliper mounting, hat offset, and hydraulic behavior on the specific A5, S5, or RS5 B9 trim. That matters because a front-only conversion can shift brake bias and thermal load without giving the rear axle the capacity or EPB integration needed for a balanced street and track setup.
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 every Audi A5, S5, and RS5 B9 the same way?
No. StopFlex does not treat the B9 chassis name as a universal fitment. A5, S5, and RS5 trims can differ in upright, hub, offset, and wheel-clearance requirements, so the brackets, rotor-hat offsets, and caliper mounting are built for the exact confirmed model and trim.
What wheels are required for the 400mm front rotor?
The 400mm front carbon-ceramic rotor requires 20-inch or larger wheels; wheels under 20 inches will not clear the package. Final approval also depends on spoke shape, wheel offset, and inner-barrel clearance around the Genuine Akebono OEM Audi RS 6-Piston (9N) Caliper.
Will the electronic parking brake still work?
Yes. The rear package 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 B9 retains electronic parking-brake convenience while gaining a 380mm rear carbon-ceramic rotor.
Why choose carbon-ceramic instead of replacing the factory iron or OEM carbon-ceramic brakes?
Carbon-ceramic rotors reduce brake dust, lower rotating mass compared with similar-size iron rotors, and tolerate repeated heat cycles better in aggressive street or track use. For owners replacing worn or damaged OEM carbon-ceramic hardware, this kit provides a complete matched package with calipers, rotors, pads, hats, hardware, and lines rather than a dealer rotor-only repair path.
