Brembo 08-16 R8 4.2/5.2 (CC Brake Eqpt) Fr GT BBK 6Pis Cast 380x34 2pc Rotor Drilled-Silver

This Brembo GT Big Brake Kit is specifically for the 2008 through 2016 Audi R8 models equipped with the CC Brake Equipment, featuring either the 4.2L or 5.2L engine. It's a comprehensive upgrade designed to significantly enhance your vehicle's braking performance, especially under demanding conditions. Brembo is well-known for its high-performance braking systems, and this kit represents their commitment to delivering solid stopping power and durability.

The kit includes a pair of cast iron monobloc calipers with six pistons each, which offer increased clamping force and better heat distribution compared to smaller, multi-piece calipers. These calipers work with 380x34mm two-piece rotors. The rotors themselves are drilled for improved cooling and weight reduction, and they feature a silver finish on the hats. The two-piece design allows for better thermal management as the rotor and hat can expand and contract independently, reducing the risk of warping. This setup is engineered to provide more consistent braking performance, reduced fade during repeated hard stops, and a more direct pedal feel, which is crucial for spirited driving or track use.

When installing this kit, you'll want to ensure you have the necessary tools and knowledge for a proper brake system overhaul. It's a substantial upgrade that changes the entire front braking system. For optimal performance and safety, it's always recommended to have a professional mechanic perform the installation, or at least consult the manufacturer's detailed installation instructions. This kit is a significant investment in your R8's performance and safety, offering a noticeable improvement in braking capability.
