Brembo Big Brake Kits for Audi B9 S5 (2018-2025)

This page lists every Brembo big brake kit we offer for the Audi S5 (B9 and B9.5), sold in the US for the 2018-2025 model years. All three kits are front kits: two GT 6-piston kits on 380x34mm two-piece discs, in two caliper families, and a PISTA 6-piston race kit on 380x35mm two-piece discs. The B9 S5 uses the same turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 as the B9 S4, and owners who tune it or take it on track often find the front brakes are the first thing to fade. A Brembo system replaces the caliper and disc on the axle you choose with a matched caliper, disc and pad package, sold as a complete axle set.

The two GT kits use the same disc size. The N caliper comes in black, red, silver, yellow, GT-S hard-anodized black or GT-R nickel-plated billet. The T caliper comes in black, red, yellow or fluorescent yellow. Both kits are offered with drilled, Type 1 slotted or Type 3 slotted discs. The PISTA kit is Brembo's race system, with disc springs and a centering ring, on 380x35mm two-piece discs with Type 3 or Type 5 slotted discs.

Choosing Your Kit

• Kit: Three front kits are listed first: a GT 6-piston kit on 380x34mm discs (N caliper family), a GT 6-piston kit on 380x34mm discs (T caliper family), and a PISTA 6-piston kit on 380x35mm discs. Each kit name gives the axle, the system (GT or PISTA), the piston count and the disc size.
• Finish: front GT 6-piston 380x34mm kit (N caliper): black, red, silver, yellow, GT-S (black hard-anodized), and GT-R (billet-machined and nickel-plated); front GT 6-piston 380x34mm kit (T caliper): black, red, yellow, and fluorescent yellow; the PISTA kit: Brembo's standard PISTA finish. A finish that a kit does not offer cannot be selected for it.
• Disc Type: drilled discs suit street driving and give good wet-weather bite; Type 1 Slotted is a street and occasional-track disc; Type 3 Slotted is aimed at regular track days; Type 5 Slotted is a PISTA race disc for long, hot sessions. Offered as follows: Drilled, Type 1 Slotted, and Type 3 Slotted on the front GT 6-piston 380x34mm kit (N caliper) and front GT 6-piston 380x34mm kit (T caliper); Type 3 Slotted and Type 5 Slotted on the PISTA kit.

FAQ

What is the difference between the N and T caliper kits?
Both are 6-piston GT calipers on the same disc size. Brembo lists them as two caliper families with different finish choices: the N caliper offers silver, GT-S and GT-R, and the T caliper offers fluorescent yellow.

Do these fit the coupe, cabriolet and Sportback?
Brembo lists the kits for the S5 (B9) 2018-2025 without splitting out body styles. In the US the coupe and cabriolet were sold for 2018-2024 and the Sportback for 2018-2025.

Does this fit the new-generation A5 or S5?
No. These kits are listed for the B9 generation only. The all-new A5 and S5 that replaced the A4 and A5 Sportback in the US use a different platform and are not covered by this page.

What is the difference between the GT and PISTA kits?
GT kits are built for road use and track days and come in several caliper finishes. PISTA kits are Brembo's race systems, with disc springs and a centering ring as standard, for cars that run long, hot track sessions.

Will these kits fit my wheels?
Every big brake kit needs wheel clearance, and the 380mm kits need the most room on the S5. Send us your wheel size and offset and we will check them against Brembo's clearance data before you order.

Fitment Notes

Brembo lists all kits on this page for the Audi S5 (B9) 2018-2025, which covers the B9 and the facelifted B9.5 cars. Brembo GT systems are designed for cars at original ride height. Raising the ride height is not compatible with the brake lines included in these systems. The GT-R 6-piston caliper needs different wheel clearance from the GT 6-piston caliper.

Each kit fits the vehicles listed below. Confirm wheel clearance before ordering.
