    Q5 brakes?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I've searched the forum but came up with nothing since the search tool doesn't recognize a 2 character search term. Anyway, I'm looking to upgrade the brakes on my A4 and was wondering if there's a significant difference between the Q5 brembo kit that ECS tuning offers and a 4 piston kit from stop tech?

    It's definitely a good starting point for a decent oem Brembo 4 piston caliper setup... Light weight rotors help as well.. There are a few of the b8 s4 guys that run the 4 piston q5 setup as well...

    I was going to do the same. I like the Calipers but does anybody know where ECS makes the rotors? I wonder what the hold up is on the rotors themselves...
