2018-2026+ Audi SQ5 / Q5 (FY) Carbon Ceramic Brake Kit
Official Warranty: 1‑year free replacement for quality defects or coating issues under normal (non-track) use.
2018-2026+ Audi SQ5 / Q5 (FY) Carbon Ceramic Brake Kit — OEM-Size Replacement
The FY Audi SQ5/Q5 is heavy enough to overwork its factory iron rotors during repeated mountain-road or track-session braking, and the open-wheel S-line/SQ5 look makes brake dust visible fast. This OEM-size StopFlex kit replaces the listed 338 mm or 350 mm front and 330 mm rear iron setup with carbon-ceramic rotors, matched pads, hats, and floating hardware while retaining the factory caliper layout. The payoff is higher fade resistance, lower rotating unsprung mass, and cleaner wheels without converting the vehicle to a big-brake package.
- Built only for FY-chassis Audi SQ5/Q5 fitments using the listed OEM rotor sizes: SQ5 350 mm front / 330 mm rear, and Q5 338 mm or 350 mm front / 330 mm rear.
- Direct OEM-size replacement keeps the factory caliper position, hub interface, and brake balance instead of forcing a front big-brake conversion.
- Carbon-ceramic rotors reduce dust and heat saturation versus the stock iron discs, which matters on a 2018-2026+ Q5/SQ5 used for fast commuting, towing, mountain roads, or HPDE days.
Fitment Hard Lines
| Field | Specification |
|---|---|
| Vehicle | Audi SQ5 / Q5 (FY) |
| Model years | 2018-2026+ |
| Front rotor reference | SQ5: 350mm; Q5: 338mm, 350mm |
| Rear rotor reference | SQ5: 330mm; Q5: 330mm |
| Page type | OEM-size carbon ceramic replacement |
| Minimum wheel size | 18" (for the 350 mm rotor) |
For OEM replacement orders, StopFlex builds around the factory rotor specification shown for this vehicle. Front floating-caliper setups require manual review before production. If the car uses aftermarket calipers such as Brembo, AP Racing, Alcon, or Wilwood, the order can still be built, but the exact caliper model, pad shape, and rotor dimensions must be confirmed before production.
This setup uses a 350 mm rotor, so the minimum wheel size is 18". Wheels under 18" will not clear the caliper and rotor, and spoke profile and offset affect clearance too — confirm your exact wheels before ordering.
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.
Custom Rotor Hat Color
Every StopFlex OEM replacement order can be built with a custom rotor hat color, giving the carbon ceramic rotor package a cleaner match with the wheel, body color, and overall build style.
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.

FAQ
Will this kit fit every 2018-2026+ Audi Q5 or SQ5?
No. This page is limited to the FY Q5/SQ5 trims and rotor sizes listed here: SQ5 350 mm front / 330 mm rear, and Q5 338 mm or 350 mm front / 330 mm rear. Confirm your VIN, PR brake codes, or measured rotor diameter before ordering.
Does the kit retain the factory electronic parking brake and auto-hold behavior?
Yes, this is an OEM-size replacement kit for the listed rear 330 mm setup, so it is designed to work with the factory rear caliper and electronic parking brake system. It does not require deleting EPB hardware.
Why switch from the factory iron rotors on an SQ5 or Q5?
The FY SQ5/Q5 platform carries SUV weight with performance power, so repeated stops can load the stock iron discs with heat. Carbon-ceramic rotors handle heat cycles with less fade, produce less visible dust, and reduce rotating unsprung mass at the wheel.
What should I confirm before buying?
Confirm model code FY, exact trim, front rotor diameter of 338 mm or 350 mm, rear rotor diameter of 330 mm, wheel clearance, and whether your car has any non-OEM calipers or brake conversions. The kit is not sold as a universal Q5 brake package.
