All the "go" in the world won't do you any good without even more "stop," so a new Audi Q5 brake kit is an important addition if you need to bring your ride to a halt in a more efficient manner. Any vehicle that will see a fair amount of spirited driving would greatly benefit from an improved braking system, especially if you've added a fair amount of horsepower into the mix. Dependable and consistent (read: non-fading) Audi Q5 brakes will work wonders, allowing you the confidence to drive your ride to its full potential.

Technically, a Audi Q5 brake kit won't make your ride stop in a shorter distance, but what it will do is add consistency to your braking, resulting from greater heat dissipation and the ability to count on your Audi Q5 brakes to perform the same every time the pedal is applied. Larger and better ventilated rotors dissipate heat more effectively, and more aggressive pads create more friction against the rotors, but the result is stronger braking, with the tires' friction to the road being a great deciding factor in how short a distance your vehicle will stop in.

Q: What all do brake kits come with?
A: Aftermarket brake kits usually include rotors with larger diameters, stainless braided DOT approved front brake lines, a set of new performance brake pads, and front brake calipers and brackets.

Q: What does a brake kit do? Why buy a brake kit?
A: Aftermarket brake kits (often referred to as big brake kits) upgrade the factory front brakes by offering better stopping performance and better looks. Rear brake kits are also available but usually sold separate from the front. Aftermarket brake kits are a great way to improve your braking system and remove a good amount of un-sprung weight from your vehicle. If you have a high horsepower vehicle, you better be able to stop it in time! Oftentimes just getting new pads won't do the trick, but a big brake kit will.

Q: How do you install a brake kit?
A: Complete removal of your factory brake setup is required, and the new kit is installed in its place. Factory rubber brake lines will need to be removed as well and replaced with the stainless braided lines.
