Brembo 08-17 A5 Front GTS BBK 6 Piston Cast 355x32 2pc Rotor Drilled-Black HA

If you're looking to significantly upgrade your Audi A5's stopping power, especially for spirited driving or track use, this Brembo GTS Big Brake Kit is a serious consideration. This kit replaces your factory front brake components with a high-performance setup designed to handle more heat and provide more consistent braking force. It features a 6-piston caliper design, which distributes clamping force more evenly across the rotor surface compared to smaller calipers. This means better control and less fade when you really need to slow down.

The heart of this kit lies in its 355x32mm two-piece rotors. The two-piece design allows the rotor and the hat (the center part that bolts to the hub) to expand and contract independently with heat, which helps prevent rotor warping. These rotors are drilled, a feature that helps dissipate heat and gasses away from the pad surface, maintaining optimal friction. The calipers themselves are cast from durable materials and finished in black, giving your front end a more aggressive look while housing those substantial 6 pistons. This is a comprehensive upgrade aimed at drivers who demand more from their braking system.

When installing a kit like this, it's important to remember that it's a complete system replacement for the front brakes. You'll want to ensure you have the necessary tools and potentially a helper, as working on brake systems requires care and precision. After installation, a proper break-in procedure for the pads and rotors is crucial to ensure they mate correctly and perform at their best. This Brembo kit is a substantial investment in your vehicle's performance and safety, offering a noticeable improvement in braking feel and capability.
