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

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 R8's braking performance, especially under demanding conditions. This kit replaces your factory front brake components with larger, more capable parts that offer improved stopping power and better heat dissipation, crucial for maintaining consistent braking during spirited driving or track use.

At the heart of this kit are the 6-piston forged aluminum calipers, which provide a larger braking surface area and more even pressure distribution compared to stock. These calipers house massive 380x34mm two-piece rotors. The rotors are slotted, which helps to vent gases and dust away from the pad surface, ensuring a cleaner and more consistent grip. The two-piece design allows the rotor and hat to expand and contract independently, reducing the risk of rotor warping under extreme heat. The calipers themselves are cast from high-strength aluminum for a solid foundation that resists flex under heavy braking loads. This entire assembly is built to handle the significant forces generated by a high-performance vehicle like the R8.

When installing this kit, you're looking at a substantial upgrade that requires careful attention to detail. It's designed as a direct replacement for the factory brake system, meaning no major modifications are typically needed, but proper bleeding of the brake system is essential. This Brembo GT Big Brake Kit is a popular choice for R8 owners who want to ensure their car can stop as effectively as it accelerates, offering a noticeable improvement in pedal feel and fade resistance.
