Brembo 08-16 R8 4.2/5.2 (CC Brake Eqpt) Rr GT BBK 6Pis Cast 380x32 2pc Rotor Drilled-Silver

Brembo is well-known for making high-performance braking components, and this GT Big Brake Kit for the 2008-2016 Audi R8 (with 4.2L or 5.2L engines and CC brake equipment) is a prime example of their expertise. This kit is designed specifically for the rear of your R8, aiming to significantly improve your car's stopping power and heat management.

This kit features a 6-piston caliper, which offers more clamping force than a standard caliper, leading to better braking performance. The calipers are cast from durable materials and are paired with 380x32mm two-piece rotors. These rotors are drilled, a design choice that helps dissipate heat and reduce weight compared to solid rotors. The two-piece construction allows the rotor and the hat to expand and contract independently with temperature changes, which can help prevent warping. The drilled pattern also aids in venting gases and moisture away from the braking surface, contributing to more consistent stopping power, especially during repeated hard braking events.

When installing a big brake kit like this, it's important to ensure you have adequate clearance within your wheels for the larger calipers and rotors. This kit is a substantial upgrade for your R8, intended for drivers who demand more from their braking system. For optimal performance and safety, we recommend consulting the manufacturer's installation guide or a professional mechanic for proper fitment and setup.
