Brembo 14-20 i8 (I12) Front GTR BBK 6 Piston Billet380x32 2pc Rotor Slotted Type-1- Nickel Plated

The nickel-plated finish on the caliper bodies of this Brembo GTR Big Brake Kit is more than just for looks; it offers a solid layer of corrosion resistance, which is important for a high-performance component that's exposed to the elements. This kit is built around a set of 6-piston billet aluminum calipers designed to work with 380x32mm two-piece slotted rotors, specifically for the 2014-2020 BMW i8 (I12 chassis). It's a comprehensive package aimed at dramatically improving your car's stopping power and heat management.

Brembo engineered this kit to handle the demands of spirited driving and track use. The two-piece rotor design helps reduce unsprung weight and allows for better thermal management compared to a single-piece rotor. The Type-1 slots on the rotor surface are designed to help vent gases and dust away from the pad surface, maintaining consistent braking performance even under heavy load. The 6-piston caliper design means more pad surface area contacting the rotor, which distributes braking force more evenly and reduces caliper flex for a firmer pedal feel.

When installing a kit like this, it's important to ensure you have the correct tools and follow the manufacturer's recommended procedures. This kit is designed as a direct replacement for the factory brake components, but it's a significant upgrade that requires careful attention during installation to achieve optimal performance and safety. You'll want to make sure your brake fluid is fresh and properly bled after installation to get the most out of these powerful calipers and rotors.
