Brembo 08-16 R8 4.2/5.2 (CC Brake Eqpt) Fr GTR BBK 6Pis Billet 380x34 2pc Rotor Drilled-Nickel

This Brembo GTR Big Brake Kit includes a pair of 6-piston billet aluminum calipers, two 380x34mm two-piece rotors that are drilled and coated with nickel, and all the necessary hardware to get them installed. This kit is designed for the front axle of the 2008-2016 Audi R8 models equipped with the CC Brake Equipment, specifically for the 4.2L and 5.2L engines. Brembo is well-known for its high-performance braking systems, and this GTR kit represents their leading edge in track-focused technology.

The calipers are forged from billet aluminum, a strong yet lightweight material that helps dissipate heat effectively. This is crucial for maintaining consistent braking performance under demanding conditions, like track driving or spirited road use. The two-piece rotor design, with its 380x34mm dimensions, offers a larger surface area for heat dissipation and braking force compared to stock components. The drilled pattern on the rotors helps to vent gases and heat away from the braking surface, which can improve wet weather performance and reduce the chance of brake fade. The nickel coating on the rotors provides a layer of corrosion resistance, helping to keep the components looking good and functioning properly over time.

Installing a big brake kit like this is a significant upgrade for your Audi R8, especially if you plan on pushing the car's performance limits. It's important to ensure all components are installed correctly according to Brembo's instructions to achieve optimal performance and safety. This kit is a substantial investment in your vehicle's braking capability, offering a noticeable improvement in stopping power and heat management.
