Paragon 2-Piece Front Rotors Pair – Audi S4 / S5 / Q5 / SQ5 B8 / B8.5 – 345 x 30mm

Upgrade your Audi B8 or B8.5 platform with Paragon 2-Piece Front Rotors — designed for enhanced braking consistency, improved cooling, and unsprung weight reduction. These 345mm x 30mm rotors offer a direct bolt-on upgrade for S4, S5, Q5, and SQ5 models, with no compromise to OEM brake system integration.

Overview

Each rotor features directional internal vanes that increase airflow through the disc, improving heat dissipation by up to 30% over OEM. The floating 2-piece design allows for thermal expansion under braking stress, maintaining pad alignment and pedal feel. The result: less fade, better modulation, and track-capable reliability.

Key Features

• 345 x 30mm slotted rotors with directional cooling vanes
• Up to 30% cooler under hard braking vs OEM
• Floating 2-piece design maintains pad alignment and reduces distortion
• Rotor rings made from CM-250 high-carbon alloy cast iron
• Heat-treated and CBN-machined for flatness and long-term durability
• Run-out ≤ 0.03mm; dynamically balanced to within 2g
• Slotted face clears gases, improves wet performance, and pad bite
• Each rotor weighs 8.62 kg — 2.31 kg lighter per side than OEM

Construction

Rotor hats are CNC-machined from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminium and MIL-A-8625 Type III hard anodised for superior corrosion and heat resistance. Weight is reduced through precision machining, maintaining strength without excess mass.

Finish Options

• Clear Hard Anodised: Withstands high track heat – ideal for motorsport
• Black Dyed Hardcoat: May discolour above 260°C – best suited for street use

Vehicle Fitment

• Audi S4 B8 / B8.5
• Audi S5 B8 / B8.5
• Audi Q5 B8 / B8.5
• Audi SQ5 B8 / B8.5

Fitment Notes

• Direct bolt-on installation – no modifications required
• Maintains factory ABS and brake bias
• Works with OEM or aftermarket brake pads (same pad depth)
• Rotor-to-hat mount: D-Bobbin (Long) – 10-bolt system
