Brembo P85136N Ceramic Front Brake Pads for 14-17 Audi SQ5 12-18 A8 Quattro

Vehicle Fitment

• 2014-2017 Audi SQ5 (8R, Base, Premium, Premium Plus, Prestige, 3.0T TFSI Supercharged V6, AWD)

Fitment Notes

• Front axle position only - fits vehicles equipped with 380mm Brembo front calipers
• Audi A8 Quattro: verify rotor diameter (380mm) via VIN before ordering - some A8 variants use 356mm rotors (P85127N)
• Does not fit standard Audi Q5 - SQ5 only with Brembo 4-piston front calipers
• Pad wear sensor: prepared for OE sensor - sensor sold separately

Features

• Premium NAO Ceramic compound delivers low dust, quiet front-axle braking on performance-spec Brembo caliper platforms
• Factory thermal scorching minimizes break-in time and reduces initial brake fade out of the box
• OE Direct Moulding Pressing Process ensures precise pad geometry for correct fit in 380mm Brembo calipers
• Multi-layer ESE (Elastomer-Steel-Elastomer) red shim dampens vibration and eliminates brake squeal at all temperatures
• Chamfered and slotted pad design improves cooling and reduces NVH under hard braking
• Prepared for OE pad wear sensor - retains factory brake monitoring functionality
• ECE-R90 certified for international brake safety compliance
• Ceramic compound keeps large-diameter alloy wheels cleaner between service intervals

Product Description

The Brembo P85136N is a Premium NAO Ceramic front brake pad set engineered as a direct OE replacement for the Audi SQ5 (B8) and Audi A8 Quattro (D4) equipped with Brembo 380mm front calipers. Formulated for the North American market, the ceramic compound delivers quiet, low-dust braking with strong, consistent front-axle bite - well matched to the thermal demands of the SQ5's sport-tuned and the A8's heavyweight braking platforms. Factory thermal scorching means these pads are ready to perform from the first stop.

Built to Brembo's OE Direct Moulding standards, the P85136N is pressed to exact 380mm caliper geometry for a clean, rattle-free installation. The multi-layer ESE red shim controls heat transfer and vibration, while the ceramic compound keeps spoke wheels looking noticeably cleaner. Verify front rotor diameter via VIN before ordering - the A8 Quattro platform spans two distinct front rotor sizes, and this pad is specific to the 380mm Brembo application only.
