Brembo 14-20 i8 (I12) Front GT BBK 6 Piston Cast 380x32 2pc Rotor Slotted Type-3-Silver

The 380x32mm two-piece rotors in this Brembo GT Big Brake Kit are cast iron, chosen for their ability to handle the heat generated during aggressive braking. This kit is specifically designed for the 2014-2020 BMW i8 (I12 chassis), giving you a significant upgrade over the factory braking system. The goal here is to provide more consistent stopping power, especially when you're pushing the car hard, by managing heat more effectively and offering a larger contact area.

This kit features a 6-piston caliper design, which distributes brake pressure more evenly across the larger rotor surface. The Type-3 slotted rotor design helps to sweep away brake dust and gases that can build up between the pad and rotor, which can reduce braking performance. These slots help maintain a cleaner rotor surface and allow for better pad contact, leading to more reliable braking. The two-piece rotor construction also helps to reduce weight and manage heat more efficiently compared to a single-piece rotor.

When you're installing a big brake kit like this, it's important to ensure you have the right tools and follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully. This kit is a substantial upgrade for your i8's braking system, aiming to provide a more robust and responsive feel at the pedal. It's a well-built package designed for drivers who demand more from their vehicle's stopping capabilities.
