PRODUCT INFORMATION

Step 1 — Front brake package

Two physically different EBC front pad configurations appear in the verified Audi SQ5 YMM records. Choose the installed pad profile before choosing compound:

DP2277 profile — verify caliper

Listed for selected SQ5, S5, Q7 and Q8 brake packages. Select Redstuff DP32277C, Yellowstuff DP42277R, Bluestuff DP52277NDX or Extra Duty ED92277 where the original SKU supports your vehicle and brake package. The Extra Duty original is documented on selected Q7/Q8/SQ5 applications, not every S5.

DP2087 profile — verify caliper

Separately recorded for the 2014 and 2018 SQ5 and 2011, 2013, 2016 and 2018 A8 Quattro YMM applications. Only Redstuff DP32087C and Yellowstuff DP42087R are currently verified for this shape. These two profiles must not be interchanged.

  • Audi SQ5: 2018–2021, 2023–2024
  • Audi S5: 2017–2018, 2020, 2024–2025
  • Audi A8 Quattro: 2018–2021, 2023
  • Audi RS3: 2022–2023, 2025–2026
  • Audi Q7: 2017, 2020, 2024, 2026
  • Audi RS5: 2018, 2021, 2024
  • Audi S4: 2018, 2020, 2024
  • Audi A6 Quattro: 2019–2020
  • Audi E Tron: 2019, 2021
  • Audi Q8: 2019–2020
  • Audi A6 Allroad: 2020
  • Audi A7 Quattro: 2018
  • Audi A7 Sportback: 2019
  • Audi E Tron GT: 2022
  • Audi E Tron Sportback: 2021

Step 2 — EBC compound

After confirming your installed pad shape, select the friction behavior that suits your use.

  • Redstuff: low-dust performance street friction — DP32277C for DP2277 or DP32087C for DP2087.
  • Yellowstuff: spirited road and demanding repeated braking — DP42277R for DP2277 or DP42087R for DP2087.
  • Bluestuff NDX: higher-temperature use — DP52277NDX, DP2277 profile only.
  • Extra Duty: heavy-duty street/service — ED92277, DP2277 profile only, limited to its verified original applications.
  • Greenstuff (EBCDP22087): street-focused friction for the DP2087 front brake-package option, specifically recorded in the original Audi A8 Quattro source. This is not the DP2277 shape.

Compound changes friction characteristics, never pad shape or caliper compatibility.

Step 3 — Verify shape / SKU

Compare the fitted front pads against the DP2277 and DP2087 manufacturer drawings, verify your factory or upgraded caliper, then confirm the exact selected EBC SKU. A 2018 SQ5 YMM tag identifies possible brake packages, not a promise that every listed variant fits one caliper.

Installation and bedding

Check rotor material and condition, hardware and brake-package requirements. Follow the EBC bedding procedure for your compound.

FAQs

Does this fit every vehicle listed? Only the listed brake packages using the DP2277 pad profile; verify your fitted caliper and shape.

🔄
Dual Purpose
Street-driven but you take it to track days or HPDE events

How would you describe your braking style?
Be honest — this helps match bite and pedal feel to how you actually drive.
🕊️
Smooth & Progressive
I want easy, linear feel. Comfort and predictability over outright bite.
✓
⚖️
Firm but Controlled
I brake firmly when needed but don't threshold brake every corner.
✓
🔥
Late & Aggressive
Maximum initial bite. I brake deep and hard, every time.
✓
🎯
Trail Braking
I carry braking into corners — I need consistent release and feel.
✓
What's the highest heat scenario your brakes will see?
Compounds are engineered around specific temperature windows. Choose the most extreme situation you'll regularly encounter.
Cold
Street
Sport
Track
Race
❄️ Cold Climate / Gentle Use (under 100°C)
Mountain driving in cold temps or very gentle braking — needs immediate cold bite from the first stop
✓
🟢 Normal Street (100–400°C)
Typical daily driving — brakes rarely see sustained heat buildup
✓
🟡 Spirited / Mountain Passes (400–600°C)
Long descents, heavy vehicles, spirited canyon driving or repeated hard stops
✓
🔴 Track / HPDE (600–900°C)
Sustained hard braking on circuit — brakes get genuinely hot every session
✓
⚫ Racing (900°C+)
Endurance, sprint, or club racing — maximum sustained heat every lap
✓
How do you feel about brake dust and noise?
Higher-performance compounds often produce more dust and occasional squeal. Tell us your tolerance.
🤫
Keep It Clean & Quiet
Clean wheels and silent operation matter to me. I'll trade some peak bite for this.
✓
🤷
Some Dust Is Fine
Happy to clean wheels more often if it means better braking.
✓
💪
Performance Only
Dust, squeal, smell — I don't care. Give me the best stopping power.
✓
How important is rotor longevity to you?
Aggressive compounds can accelerate rotor wear. On Alcon-grade rotors, this is especially worth considering.
💰
Rotor Life Matters
I want pads that are gentle on rotors. Replacement costs are a real concern.
✓
⚖️
Balanced Trade-off
I'll accept moderate rotor wear for meaningfully better stopping power.
✓
🏆
Performance First
Rotors are a consumable. I'll replace them as needed. Max stopping power wins.
