S5 Brembo BIG Brake Kit, PES

We just installed the Brembo Gran Turismo brake kit on our S5. here are some pix. Ill add a few more when I get a chance.. The install was Super fast and it came with Everything needed. I chose to trim the heat sheild to fit. We will have some Video of the S5 on the track coming soon.

Your telling me ,I cant wait to really heat those disks up. We flushed the fluid and replaced it all with a good racing dot4. With 12 pistons up front this car is going to stop on a dime

Hey, can you please post some more pics. I am deciding between MTM brake kit and Brembo GT. What do you think guys? Is there alot of difference compared to stock S5 brakes?

Thanks

The MTM brake kit is essentially the OEM Audi RS4 8-piston calipers pieced together with some 2pc. discs. I believe the discs are from PFC although I'm not sure who makes the bells/hats.

The Brembo brake kit is a 6-piston Monobloc caliper specifically developed for aftermarket high use (not an OEM caliper used in a different application) specifically engineered for the Audi S5. The piston diameters and disc diameters are selected specifically for that application. Everything is 100% engineered, developed and manufactured by Brembo.

There is a huige difference compared to the OEM S5 brakes...you reduce unsprung and rotational weight, improve pedal feel and modulation, increase heat capacity and temperature management (virtually eliminating fade and all other heat related issues), decrease stopping distances, improved handling, etc...
