Description
For Audi 2008–2016 R8 4.2 / 5.2 (CC Brake Eqpt), this front-axle Brembo setup is aimed at drivers who want a braking system that better matches the chassis once pace, tire grip, or track use increases.
Why it suits this chassis
For a high-performance sports-car platform where brake feel, thermal control, and preserving chassis balance are central to the driving experience, consistent pedal behavior and thermal reserve can matter as much as outright stopping distance. This kit is positioned around those demands rather than simple cosmetic upgrading.
How to spec the kit
- Rotor Style: Type 3 Slotted, Type 1 Slotted, Drilled
- Caliper Finish: Nickel
Where both drilled and slotted versions are offered, the rotor selection changes the friction-ring treatment while retaining the application-specific package. Choose the version that best matches your intended duty cycle and preferred setup.
Kit overview
Brembo GT-R systems sit above the conventional GT range, emphasizing lighter, higher-spec hardware and stronger track-focused capability for drivers who repeatedly work the brakes hard.
- Axle: Front
- Brembo family: GT-R
- Catalog specification: 6-Piston; 380x34mm 2-Piece
Where it fits best
Best suited to advanced HPDE, time-attack, and heavily modified street/track cars where repeated high-speed braking and lower component mass are meaningful priorities.
