Brembo 08-16 R8 4.2/5.2 (CC Brake Eqpt) Rr GT BBK 6Pis Cast 380x32 2pc Rotor Slotted Type3-Black

This Brembo GT Big Brake Kit for the rear of your 2008-2016 Audi R8 (with 4.2L or 5.2L engines and CC Brake Equipment) includes everything you need to significantly upgrade your braking system. You'll get a pair of Brembo 6-piston calipers, two 380x32mm two-piece rotors with a Type 3 slotting pattern, and all the necessary hardware for installation. This kit is designed to replace your factory rear brakes and offers a substantial improvement in stopping performance, especially under demanding conditions.

The calipers are cast from a strong, well-built aluminum alloy for a good balance of strength and light weight, and they house six pistons each. These pistons work together to apply even pressure across the brake pad surface, leading to more consistent and powerful braking. The rotors are a two-piece design, which helps manage heat more effectively than a single-piece rotor. The 380mm diameter and 32mm thickness provide a larger surface area for heat dissipation and pad contact. Brembo's Type 3 slotting pattern is specifically chosen for its ability to help keep the rotor surface clean and reduce brake fade by allowing gases and dust to escape.

Installing a big brake kit like this is a significant upgrade for any R8 owner looking for enhanced performance and durability. The larger rotors and multi-piston calipers work together to increase thermal capacity, meaning your brakes can handle more heat before they start to lose effectiveness. This is particularly noticeable during repeated hard braking events, such as on a track or during spirited driving. While this kit is designed as a direct replacement for the factory brake equipment, it's always a good idea to consult the manufacturer's installation guide for specific torque values and procedures to ensure a proper and safe setup.
