Frequently Asked Questions
What rotors come in a Audi Q5 brake kit?
Ghost Rotors Audi Q5 kits include G11H18 metallurgy drilled and diamond-slotted rotors with GEOMET coating, matched to carbon ceramic pads for direct OEM bolt-on fitment on Audi Audi Q5 applications.
Do I need to upgrade Audi Q5 brake pads?
If you drive an SQ5 or haul family loads in a Q5, OEM semi-metallic pads fade and wear quickly. Ghost Rotors carbon ceramic pads resist fade, produce less dust, and last 3–5x longer than factory pads.
Are Audi Q5 brake kits direct bolt-on?
Yes. Ghost Rotors Audi Q5 brake kits use factory caliper fitment with no modifications required. Confirm year and trim in the product grid below.
Do Ghost Rotors Audi Q5 kits include a warranty?
Every Ghost Rotors kit includes a lifetime manufacturer warranty and free continental US shipping.
