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

The 380x34mm, two-piece rotors in this Brembo GT Big Brake Kit are cast from a high-carbon alloy, a choice that helps manage heat and resist warping under heavy use. This kit is specifically designed for the 2008 through 2016 Audi R8 models equipped with the 4.2L or 5.2L engines and CC Brake Equipment. It’s a comprehensive upgrade aimed at significantly improving your vehicle’s braking performance, especially during spirited driving or track events.

At the heart of this kit are the six-piston calipers, which offer a larger pad surface area and more even pressure distribution compared to stock calipers. This translates to more consistent stopping power and better heat dissipation. The two-piece rotor design also plays a role, allowing the rotor and the hat to expand and contract independently, which can reduce stress and the likelihood of cracking. The Type 1 slots machined into the rotor surface help to vent gases and debris, keeping the pad surface clean and ensuring optimal contact for improved braking feel and performance.

This Brembo GT Big Brake Kit is a substantial upgrade for your R8. It includes everything needed for installation, such as the calipers, rotors, mounting brackets, and brake lines, all designed to work together seamlessly. While installation is straightforward for a qualified technician, it's a significant modification that will noticeably change how your car brakes. You can expect a firmer pedal feel and a much higher resistance to fade during repeated hard stops.
