"Experience a lighter, sharper, and cleaner drive with the ultimate braking evolution."
The Audi Q5 is a benchmark for balance and luxury. However, its weight—especially in the SQ5 or PHEV variants—can put significant strain on standard iron brakes, leading to dust, heat-soak, and a heavy pedal feel. The CTE RACING CCM Kit replaces heavy iron with cutting-edge carbon-ceramic technology, transforming your Q5's dynamics from the ground up.
The Core Advantages of CCM Technology
1. Professional Grade: T700 3D Long-Fiber Matrix
Most factory ceramic brakes use "chopped fiber." CTE RACING utilizes T700 continuous long-fiber technology, creating a 3D matrix that is vastly superior.
-
Thermal Authority: Stable performance at temperatures exceeding $900^{circ}C$. No warping, no fade, just consistent stopping power.
-
Resurfacing Capability: Unlike standard ceramic discs, CTE CCM rotors can often be resurfaced 3–4 times over their lifespan, effectively lasting 250,000+ km.
2. Dynamics: Massive Reduction in Unsprung Weight
Weight is the enemy of handling.
-
Weight Savings: CCM rotors are 40% to 50% lighter than their iron equivalents.
-
The "Nimble" SUV: By shedding several kilograms per corner, your Q5’s suspension reacts faster to road surfaces. You’ll notice sharper turn-in, reduced "floaty" feeling, and improved steering precision.
3. Sophistication: Zero Dust & Zero Rust
Preserve the elegance of your Audi with a braking system that stays pristine.
-
Showroom Clean: The CCM material produces virtually zero black brake dust, keeping your S-Line or forged wheels spotless.
-
Rust-Free Forever: Carbon-silicon carbide is naturally immune to corrosion. Your rotors will never develop that unsightly orange "flash rust" after rain or a car wash.
4. Seamless Safety: Rear EPB Integration
Audi’s sophisticated Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) requires a specialized solution.
-
Full Compatibility: CTE’s Rear EPB Motor Calipers are designed to work perfectly with the Q5’s factory electronics. Features like Auto-Hold and the electronic handbrake remain fully functional, providing a secure, "plug-and-play" upgrade.
