Will This Fit My Car?
Direct Replacement CCB Discs (Retain Factory Calipers) for the 2018-2026+ Audi SQ5 / Q5 (FY). Factory rotor specifications and the smallest wheel that clears each trim:
| Trim | Front Rotor (Factory) | Rear Rotor (Factory) | Min. Wheel Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| SQ5 | 350mm | 330mm | 18" |
| Q5 | 338mm, 350mm | 330mm | 18" |
Keep Your Factory Calipers?
Keep them if the front calipers are fixed 4-piston or more — the rear axle qualifies regardless. Front 1- or 2-piston floating calipers rule out the disc-only route; choose the Full Upgrade kit instead. Every set is machined to the factory rotor specs listed above, and aftermarket calipers (Brembo, AP Racing, Alcon, Wilwood) only need the caliper model, pad shape, and rotor dimensions confirmed before we build.
Spoke profile and offset also affect clearance — confirm your exact wheels before ordering.

Why Carbon Ceramic — and Why StopFlex
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.
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.
Winter & Cold-Weather Braking
Cold facts first: an untuned ceramic disc bites less than iron on a freezing morning — physics, not a defect. StopFlex tuned both the pad compound and the disc's ceramic coating for cold starts, so winter cold-car braking now feels very close to summer. Leave extra margin on the very coldest first stops; severe-climate daily drivers should build Street Spec.
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
High rotor temperature tolerance does not mean heat management disappears. Under repeated hard braking, heat migrates into the pads, brake fluid, seals, calipers, and wheels even when the ceramic disc itself is comfortable. Plan brake cooling and high-temperature fluid for extended track sessions, long mountain descents, or sustained aggressive driving.

FAQ
Does this fit both my SQ5 and a regular Q5, and what rotor size do I need?
It fits the FY-generation SQ5 and Q5 built from 2018 onward, but only in the exact rotor sizes we list. The SQ5 uses a 350mm front / 330mm rear setup. The Q5 comes with a 338mm or 350mm front and a 330mm rear. Direct Replacement is only valid if your FRONT factory caliper is a 4-piston or larger fixed caliper — that rules out the single-piston sliding-caliper base Q5 fronts. Rear is unrestricted. Send us your VIN before ordering so we match the correct front rotor diameter and hat offset to your build.
Do these rotors work in cold and winter driving, or will they feel dead until warm?
Any carbon-ceramic disc bites a little less than cold iron on the first stop or two — that's normal physics, not a fault. We addressed it two ways: the low-metallic resin-composite pad and the disc's ceramic coating are both tuned for cold-start engagement, so on your SQ5 or Q5 the cold-car feel now sits very close to warm-summer feel. On the coldest mornings, leave a bit of extra following distance for the first couple of stops and you're set.
I'm coming from an RS-model Audi with ceramics — will these give me that same feel on the SQ5?
The engineering goal is the same: fixed, fade-free pedal and no rotor mass gain as heat builds. These are true carbon-ceramic discs reusing your 4-piston (or larger) front calipers, paired with a pad that carries an average friction coefficient near 0.44 and holds up to about 750 °C. On a 350mm SQ5 front, repeated hard stops from speed stay consistent, which is what the RS ceramic feel is really about.
Do I keep my factory calipers and electronic parking brake, and what wheels clear these?
Yes — this is a Direct Replacement kit. You keep the factory front and rear calipers; we supply the rotors, hats, pads, and floating hardware. The rear kit reuses your existing setup, including the factory electronic parking brake mechanism, so EPB function is retained. Because rotor diameters match the factory 350mm/338mm front and 330mm rear references, your OEM-size wheels that cleared stock will clear these. Verify with your VIN if you run aftermarket wheels.
