Brembo Front Ceramic Brake Pads for Audi A8 Quattro & SQ5 | P85128N

Upgrade your braking with Brembo Front Premium NAO Ceramic Brake Pads for 2012-2018 Audi A8 Quattro and 2014-2017 SQ5. Enjoy low dust, quiet stops, and OE-equivalent performance.

Upgrade your luxury sedan or performance SUV with the Brembo Premium NAO (Non-Asbestos Organic) Ceramic Front Brake Pad Set. Specially formulated to meet the high-standard demands of the North American market, these premium street pads deliver exceptional stopping efficiency without the trade-offs of harsh racing compounds.

Engineered for the daily commuter who refuses to compromise on luxury, this advanced ceramic compound significantly cuts down on friction wear and brake dust. The result is a long-lasting pad that keeps your high-end alloy rims looking cleaner for longer. Featuring a multi-layer premium black shim alongside precision-engineered chamfers and slots, these pads work systematically to isolate and dampen the harsh vibrations that cause brake squeal.

Whether navigating stop-and-go city traffic or cruising on the highway, these integrally molded pads offer absolute control, consistent pedal feel, and reliable stopping distances in both hot and cold operating temperatures.

Best Uses

1. Premium Daily Commuting: Perfect for luxury vehicle owners seeking a smooth, predictable, and vibration-free braking experience in heavy city traffic.
2. Aesthetic-Conscious Owners: Ideal for drivers who want to minimize dark brake dust emissions and keep their factory wheels pristine between car washes.
3. Direct OE Replacement: Specifically designed to replace stock front pads on the 2012–2018 Audi A8 Quattro (Base, L, L TDI, L Sport, L W12) and 2014–2017 Audi SQ5 (Premium Plus, Prestige) using stock calipers and factory or aftermarket rotors.

Features

1. Advanced NAO Ceramic Compound: A proprietary multi-material mixture engineered for low wear, longevity, and exceptional thermal stability across varying temperature ranges.
2. Premium Noise-Dampening Shims: Equipped with a multi-layered backing shim system designed to isolate acoustic frequencies and dramatically reduce brake squeal.
3. Integrally Molded Construction: Manufactured under extreme pressure to bond the friction material securely to the backing plate, maximizing structural integrity and uniform wear.
4. Precision Chamfered & Slotted Edges: Features specialized geometric cutouts that optimize pad-to-rotor contact, facilitate gas dissipation, and further cut down on operational noise.
5. Universal Rotor Compatibility: Thoroughly engineered to work seamlessly with factory stock, slotted, cross-drilled, or surface-coated performance rotors without accelerating disc wear.

Benefits

1. Whisper-Quiet Operation: Effectively eliminates harsh cabin noise and cabin vibrations during deceleration, maintaining the serene atmosphere expected of luxury vehicles.
2. Ultra-Low Dust Emissions: Significantly reduces the production of dark residue, keeping wheels bright and decreasing the time required for exterior cleaning.
3. Consistent All-Weather Braking: Provides dependable initial bite and highly predictable stopping performance from the very first press of the pedal, regardless of outside track conditions.
4. Extended Component Longevity: The high-durability ceramic composite minimizes pad friction degradation, giving you an extended service life over traditional semi-metallic pads.
5. Reduced Driver Fatigue: Delivers a smooth, progressive pedal feel that enhances driver confidence and control during sudden emergency stops or protracted traffic slowdowns.
