I can find the rear drilled rotors but no one is carrying the front drilled rotors. Any help !!

Mike, forgive me if this is old news.
Brembo, the nice folks who make generally well-respected rotors? Advised me that even IF a third-party shop is selling "drilled Brembo rotors" which they have done the additional drilling on, you MUST be certain that the rotors have been re-hardened after all machining work has been done. Apparently Brembo rotors are surface hardened (like tempered glass is) after they are machined, and if any further machining is done, it can cause stresses in the "broken" surface hardening leading to the rotors shattering in a very sudden and undesirable manner.

A lot of sources do machining to make "drilled" rotors, but most poo-poo the need to reharden them afterward. Caveat emptor.

Best place is Adamsrotors $1000 for all 4, custom made to any style and carbon iron available.

Have you any experience with them. Thanks! If ecs doesn't come I will get these

No, but another member on here has got them on his Q5. I've asked him for feedback on them.

ECS don't do 380x36mm fronts, only rears.

There is only one other company I found that does rear drilled/dimpled they are a well renowned German brakes manufacturer. They are more expensive coming in at 1085 Euros, but that does include front and rear brakes and front and rear pads. They are a hi-end company so there quality will be very good.

I did have Adam's slotted/dimpled F&R on my old Q5.
No issues with them whatsoever. No warping, extraneous brake pad wear or stopping issues.

I did have my rear brake caliper fail (that wasn't a good day), but probably had nothing to do with the rotors.

Super - Thanks for the feedback.

Are you planning on upgrading your brakes on the SQ5?
How do the stock SQ5 ones compare with Adam's on you Q5?
Any other brands you would recommend/will work on an SQ5?
