EBC S11 Brake Pad and Rotor Kit Audi Q5 & A6 Quattro (2012-2021)
The ultimate solution for 2012-2021 Audi Q5 2.0 Turbo (Brembo) and 2013-2018 Audi A6 Quattro 3.0 TD Premium drivers seeking superior stopping power and reliability. Combining EBC’s renowned Greenstuff front brake pads (DP22168) with premium RK-series front rotors (RK1844), this kit delivers exceptional grip, smooth operation, and long-lasting durability, outperforming all competing brake kits. Engineered for spirited street driving, the S11 kit is the top choice for Audi enthusiasts who demand precision and confidence in every stop.
Why EBC?
-
Superior Stopping Power: Greenstuff pads reduce stopping distances by up to 20% compared to OEM pads, with a 0.45μ friction coefficient for confident braking, as validated in independent testing.
-
Premium RK Rotors: RK1844 rotors feature a Geomet anti-rust coating, precision balancing, and runout testing for smooth, vibration-free braking and extended rotor life.
-
Cost Savings: Saves 10% over purchasing pads and rotors separately, delivering premium performance at a better value.
-
Low Dust & Quiet Operation: Greenstuff pads produce less dust than semi-metallic alternatives, with fully shimmed, chamfered, and slotted designs plus EBC’s Brake-In™ coating for near-silent braking and fast pad seating.
-
Eco-Friendly & Street-Legal: Copper-free pads and rotors meet global environmental standards, with ECE R90 certification for legal road use in Europe.
-
Enhanced Durability: Rotor-friendly Greenstuff compound minimizes disc wear, while RK rotors resist corrosion, ensuring long-term reliability.
-
Perfect for Enthusiasts: Tailored for Audi Q5 and A6 Quattro drivers seeking sporty performance without track-level aggression, ideal for daily driving and occasional spirited runs.
Compared to alternatives like EBC’s S10KF1440 (Greenstuff + GD rotors) or Power Stop Z23 kits, the S11KF1476 excels for Audi applications. The S10KF1440’s GD rotors are slotted for track use, which may increase noise and wear for street driving, while Power Stop’s ceramic pads prioritize low dust but lack the Greenstuff’s immediate bite (0.55μ friction for Yellowstuff vs. 0.45μ for Greenstuff). The S11KF1476’s Greenstuff pads offer a shorter bed-in (100-200 miles) and better modulation for the Q5’s Brembo calipers and A6’s 3.0 TD power, making it the ideal street-performance upgrade.

Installation & Usage Tips
-
Street Use Optimized: Ideal for daily driving and spirited street performance. For track use, consider EBC Yellowstuff or Bluestuff kits (e.g., S5KF1676).
-
Bed-In Period: Perform 100-200 miles of gentle braking to seat pads properly. Avoid aggressive stops during this phase to prevent glazing.
-
Rotor Preparation: Geomet coating requires no removal; normal braking will clear the pad-swept area within 10-20 stops.
-
Professional Installation Recommended: Ensure clean caliper sliders, new hardware, and proper torque to avoid noise or uneven wear.
-
Rotor Condition: Replace worn or grooved rotors to ensure optimal performance and minimize bed-in time.
-
Pairing Recommendation: For balanced braking, pair with EBC S11KR rear kits (e.g., DP22169+RK1845) if upgrading rear brakes.
