Brembo 08-16 R8 4.2/5.2 (CC Brake Eqpt) Fr GT BBK 6Pis Cast 380x34 2pc Rotor Slotted Type1-Red

This Brembo GT Big Brake Kit is designed for the 2008-2016 Audi R8 models equipped with the 4.2L or 5.2L engine and CC Brake Equipment. What you get in this kit are the front 6-piston calipers, a pair of 380x34mm 2-piece slotted rotors, and all the necessary hardware to get them installed. This is a substantial upgrade over the factory braking system, aimed at drivers who demand more from their car's stopping performance, especially during spirited driving or track use.

The calipers are cast aluminum, which keeps them strong yet relatively lightweight. They house six pistons, allowing for more even pressure distribution across the brake pad surface. This translates to better pad wear and more consistent braking force. The rotors are a 2-piece design, meaning the hat and the friction ring are separate. This design helps manage heat more effectively and can reduce the risk of rotor warping under heavy use. They are also slotted, which helps to clear out brake dust and gases that can build up between the pad and rotor, maintaining a cleaner contact surface for improved grip.

Installing a big brake kit like this is a significant modification, and it's recommended to have it done by a qualified mechanic. You'll want to ensure you have the correct brake fluid and bleed the system properly afterward. This kit is a well-built solution for R8 owners looking to significantly enhance their vehicle's braking capabilities, offering a solid option for improved performance and durability.
