Will This Fit My Car?
Full Upgrade CCB Big Brake Kits (With Calipers) for the 2008-2016 Audi RS5 (B8). This page's exact brake setup:
| Model Years | Front Setup | Rear Setup | Min. Wheel Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2008-2016 | Akebono OEM Audi RS 6-Piston (9N) Caliper / 400mm | TTSPORT EP4 4-Piston Forged Caliper integrated with EPB / 380mm | 20" |
This kit is built per car, not per platform. We engineer the brackets, rotor-hat offsets, and caliper mounting to your confirmed model and trim, because trims sharing a chassis name frequently differ underneath — performance variants can run different knuckles, hub geometry, and wheel ET clearance than their standard siblings. You receive calipers, pads, rotor hats, floating hardware, and brake lines as one matched, trim-specific system. Cars with modified knuckles, uprights, or non-factory suspension mounting points need review before ordering.
The 400 mm rotor sets the minimum wheel size at 20" — smaller wheels will not clear the caliper and rotor. Spoke profile and offset also affect clearance; confirm your exact wheels before ordering.
| Wheel Size (Standard) | Disc Range |
|---|---|
| 15" | 260 mm – 285 mm |
| 16" | 285 mm – 300 mm |
| 17" | 300 mm – 330 mm |
| 18" | 330 mm – 355 mm |
| 19" | 355 mm – 380 mm |
| 20" | 380 mm – 400 mm |
| 21" | 400 mm – 420 mm |
| 22" | 420 mm – 440 mm |

Why Carbon Ceramic — and Why StopFlex
Bespoke Per-Vehicle Engineering
Every order is machined to the confirmed vehicle and trim. Brackets, hat offsets, and pad shapes are built for that exact car — never pulled from a one-size-fits-all catalog.
CCB-Specific Pad Compound
A low-metallic resin pad compound reinforced with steel, copper, and aramid fiber, made for ceramic discs: stable to about 750 °C, roughly 0.44 average friction, strong fade resistance, low rotor wear.
Lower Unsprung Mass
A carbon-ceramic rotor weighs roughly half of the equivalent iron disc. Less rotating, unsprung mass lets the suspension follow broken pavement more cleanly and makes steering response noticeably sharper.
High-Temperature Stability
The carbon-silicon-carbide friction matrix keeps working at temperatures that push iron rotors into heavy fade, so the tenth hard stop feels like the first — same pedal travel, same bite point.
Rust-Free Rotor Surface
Ceramic discs cannot flash-rust. After rain, a wash, or weeks of parking, the rotor face behind your open-spoke wheels stays clean — no orange ring on a freshly detailed car.
Long Street-Service Life
In normal road use with matched pads and correct bedding, one StopFlex CCB rotor set is engineered to outlast several sets of iron replacement rotors, recovering part of the up-front cost.
Low Visible Dust
Matched with StopFlex pads, the system sheds a fraction of the dust an iron rotor and pad combination throws. Wheels stay clean for weeks of driving instead of days.
Premium Ceramic-Glaze Finish
StopFlex's proprietary coating gives the disc a bright ceramic-glaze surface with subtle texture — the factory carbon-ceramic look, clearly visible through open wheel designs.
Continuous Fiber Construction
StopFlex discs are built with long continuous carbon fiber instead of chopped short fiber. Continuous strands carry load across the whole rotor body, raising strength and thermal durability under heat cycles.
Winter & Cold-Weather Braking
A cold, untuned carbon-ceramic disc needs more pedal than iron on the first winter stops — normal material physics. StopFlex engineered the pad formula and disc coating specifically for cold starts, closing that gap: cold-car winter feel is now very close to summer feel. Keep a little extra distance on the coldest mornings; for harsh winters, choose Street Spec.
Caliper Overview
Front Caliper
The front caliper is the Akebono OEM Audi RS 6-Piston (9N) Caliper — the same monobloc unit engineered for Audi RS-series clamping, giving you six-piston bite with consistent pedal feel over a 400mm carbon-ceramic rotor.
Rear Caliper
The rear is the TTSPORT EP4 4-Piston Forged Caliper with an integrated EPB actuator: four 28mm hydraulic service pistons for braking plus a dedicated 27mm EPB piston that keeps your factory electronic parking brake working, while adding real rear-axle thermal capacity behind the 380mm rotor. It's a two-piece forged-aluminum body at roughly 4.50 kg per caliper.
Choose Your Rotor: Street, Track-Day, or Motorsport
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.
Heat Management Note
Carbon ceramic rotors tolerate extreme surface temperature, but they do not remove every heat-management requirement. During repeated hard stops, heat still soaks 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.
Get Your Fitment Confirmed
Before ordering, tell us the exact vehicle, current rotor sizes, and caliper type. Nothing goes to production until the build is confirmed against your VIN-level configuration.
FAQ
Will this kit clear my wheels, and do I need to change anything?
The front rotor is 400mm, so you need a minimum 20-inch wheel to clear it, and spoke shape matters as much as diameter — a deep-dish spoke can foul the Akebono 9N caliper even on a 20-inch rim. Send us your exact wheel model and offset and we'll confirm clearance before you buy.
Is this a universal B8 bolt-on, or is it built for my specific RS5?
It's bespoke to your confirmed RS5 (B8) trim. The RS5 uses different front knuckles, hub geometry, and wheel-side clearance than standard S5/A5 cars on the same chassis, so we machine the brackets and rotor-hat offsets to your car specifically. We do not sell a platform-wide bolt-on and never assume fitment from the chassis name alone.
Does the rear kit keep my electronic parking brake?
Yes. The RS5 (B8) leaves the factory with an electromechanical parking brake, and the TTSPORT EP4 rear caliper has a dedicated EPB actuator piston that preserves that function. You keep the OE dash-switch parking brake while gaining a 380mm rear rotor and four-piston service braking.
How do these behave in winter and on cold morning starts?
An untuned cold carbon-ceramic disc bites less than cold iron — that's physics, not a defect. We've tuned both the pad compound and the disc's ceramic coating for cold starts, so cold-car feel on the RS5 now comes very close to summer feel. On the coldest first stop or two, leave a little extra following distance until the system is up to temperature.
