Brembo 08-17 S5 Front GT BBK 6 Piston Cast 380x34 2pc Rotor Slotted Type3-Red

The 380x34mm two-piece rotors in this Brembo GT Big Brake Kit are cast iron, a material chosen for its excellent thermal properties and durability under heavy braking. This kit is specifically designed for the front of your 2008-2017 Audi S5, bringing a significant upgrade to your braking system. The six-piston calipers are a key component, providing more clamping force than a typical factory setup, which translates directly into shorter stopping distances and better control, especially during spirited driving or repeated hard stops.

Brembo's GT Big Brake Kits are a popular choice for enthusiasts looking to enhance their vehicle's performance. The Type 3 slotting pattern on the rotors is designed to help vent gases and dust away from the pad surface, maintaining consistent friction and preventing fade. This is crucial when you're pushing your car hard, as it ensures reliable braking performance when you need it most. The calipers themselves are a robust cast aluminum construction, chosen for its strength-to-weight ratio, helping to reduce unsprung mass while providing a solid foundation for the pistons.

When installing a kit like this, you're looking at a comprehensive upgrade that replaces your factory rotors, calipers, and often the mounting brackets. It's a substantial modification aimed at improving the overall driving experience through enhanced safety and performance. This kit is a well-built solution for those who demand more from their braking system, offering a noticeable difference in feel and capability.
