Brembo 08-16 R8 PISTA Rear Race BBK 4 Piston Forged355x32x53a 2pc Rotor T5-Clear HA

The 355x32mm, two-piece rotor design in this Brembo PISTA rear brake kit is a key feature for high-performance Audi R8 applications. This setup is built for serious track use, offering a significant upgrade over the factory braking system. The kit includes four-piston forged calipers, which are lighter and stronger than cast aluminum, allowing for better heat dissipation and more consistent pedal feel under extreme conditions. This is crucial when you're pushing your R8 hard on the track, where braking performance is just as important as acceleration.

Brembo's PISTA line is specifically developed for racing environments, meaning every component is chosen for maximum performance and durability. The forged calipers are designed to withstand the intense heat generated during repeated hard stops, helping to prevent brake fade. The two-piece rotor construction allows the friction surface to expand and contract independently of the hat, reducing the risk of rotor warping and cracking over time. This kit is a comprehensive solution for R8 owners looking to achieve race-level braking capabilities, ensuring you have the stopping power needed for demanding track days and spirited driving.

When installing a big brake kit like this, it's important to ensure you have the correct brake fluid with a high dry boiling point, such as DOT 4 or higher, to handle the increased temperatures. You'll also want to follow Brembo's specific installation instructions carefully to ensure proper function and safety. This kit is designed to be a direct replacement for the rear braking system on your 2008-2016 Audi R8, providing a substantial improvement in stopping performance.
