Q5 Brembo's as SQ5 rear brakes?

[N3MO]

I have a set of Q5 Brembo's can I swap out the stock SQ5 330mm rear calipers and rotors for the 4 piston Q5 345mm Brembo's? Is it possible?

In theory yes, however you will need to retain your OEM caliper also to retain the e brake and the rotor probably has a different offset.

More work and issues than it is actually worth.

This is a picture of a Vandit Performance kit that my frient fitted to his B8 A4

run a dual caliper setup with a brembo parking brake

its a LOT of work to retain e-brake.

I was talking to Mops about this the other day.

If They made a Brembo GT kit that gave you the Front & Rears with same style rotors and good pistoned (4 minimum) rear caliper, that would retain parking brake, I'd be all over it. I hate mis-matched rotors.

you can probably piece this together yourself fairly easily if you are willing to spend the money. they sell a separate parking brake caliper. something like this http://www.2wheelpros.com/brembo-oe-...FRCRaQod4JEI-g

The brembo parking brake (as found on the R8 and Lambo's ) is not electronic though so how would you get round that issue?

Hence why the above kit retains the OEM caliper for the handbrake

swap to a manual, hydraulic handbrake for all the drifts!!!


jk you're right i forgot the B8+ all have electric parking brakes. retaining the OEM rear caliper is pretty smart that was my plan when building a rear BBK for my b7. but that was b/c i was cheap haha
