Found your channel while I was trying to figure out why my 04 Jetta 1.8t was running hot I replace the fans cause one didn’t work replaced the radiator fan switch with 2 new autozone parts which ended up not working replace the thermostat 2 times and fan control module 2 times. All to find out that a 8 buck coolant cap was the issue Good news out of it found your channel.
@@ERAutomotive which pad did you go with? I'm trying to decide between this setup vs 2017+ porsche macan. Both lightweight. The macan uses a 345mm rotor which I can use from an MK6 golf R, but I'm really liking how the 2018+ Q5 brembos look
the newer Q5 has brembo made for 320mm rotors which is the same with ATE mono-4 as found is A4 B9 quattro. the brembo in this video has very little after market pads unlike the old Q5/macan 340mm brembo, also worth noting the older shape brembo came in 320mm spec as well. they look identical, just slight different in the mounting taps length.
Just found this. Great vid. Question...Ive seen other's claim this is a direct bolt up and will work with OEM 17" rims without spacers....do you agree?
hello. i've been reading about this brake kit is a low drag brake where it causing low travel on braking. is that true? please provide long term review on this caliper usage. thank you in advance. cheers
Do you know where the 320 discs come from? audi a4 b8 in 320x30 are good? Do you know if the calipers 80A615105AB/80A615106AB are ok ? or only the Q version ? Thanks
Love the commentary from your kid
I was thinking of this setup, but I don't want to fit spacers. May have to go for the Macan setup now with 345mm discs

Just saw someone do this to their 8V A3. They used the stock 338mm rotor which fit perfectly. I believe 338mm is what the 2018+ Q5 uses.
I tired that first on my s5. But the backspacing on the q5 rotor doesn’t match the s5 so it’s a no go
The 320mm rotor fits perfect

I’m using Audi pads from the q5 currently
But plan to get ebc yellow pads when they need replacement

I’m keeping my eyes open for 345mm setup
What rotors did you use? Year and model please?

hi mate will 345mm disc fit on theses caliper? instead 320mm

ER automotive will this work on a 2013 audi a5. ???
Yes Will work no issues
Just remember spacing from new caliper to your rim
I really appreciate the reply and this video i hope they wont squeak like the oem ones do thank you
With good pads and rotors and installed correctly no reason for them to squeak
My oem ones are terrible i figured the best way to fix the common audi squeaky brakes is to upgrade to a brembo style
Oh dam eh
it’s definitely a great upgrade
How is this an upgrade the discs are 345 standard
Lighter caliper
4 piston vs 1
probably better getting the previous q5 4 pot brembos that go with ur stock 345mm disc
Yeah I’m keeping an eye open for a set to come available for the right price
Do you know where the 320 discs come from? audi a4 b8 in 320x30 are good?
Do you know if the calipers 80A615105AB/80A615106AB are ok ? or only the Q version ? Thanks
Yes those disks
And sorry I don’t remember the part numbers
Are the calipers still looking good, is the paint still holding up? Thanks
Yes they are
Only issue it from me sucking at painting
so basically youve downgraded your brake set up by going smaller than stock discs to accomodate the calipers?
I’d say a lighter caliper with 4 pistons is an upgrade to a single piston heavy caliper
Will this work on a 08 A6
Yes just watch which version of the calipers you get and you’ll be fine
@@ERAutomotive thank you so much for taking your time to respond 🙏🏽 god bless
Any word about difference between stock and those? Distance and reaction on brake pedal etc? ;)
Once I get new pads and rotors ill. Do a video about what I feel
@@ERAutomotive Nice, I ll w8 ;)
what wheels are those?
Factory s5 wheels
Thanks a ton for this..stock brake lines/hardware worked?
Yes sir
320mm rotors? Stock size is 345mm 🤷🏼♂️
Yup that’s right
But 4 piston vs 1 piston
Plus the brembo caliper is significantly lighter then the oe caliper
Thank you
