This is a Big Brake kit with 6 pot calipers and 380mm x 32mm ventilated discs originally for the VW Golf Mk8 GTI/R but also suitable for the Audi S3 8Y and Cupra Formentor/ Leon. 

The discs of this big brake kit are grooved to remove braking residue and maintain an optimum performance. 

Included in the kit are Forge Motorsport braided brake hoses, mountings and brake pads.

It will gives immediate brake pedal response. Given a Lifetime Warranty (brake lines only) with choice of colours.  This Big Brake is compatible with all brake fluids.

It will reduces pedal sponginess under hard braking and will not corrode (brake lines only). This brake kit is supplied with either  Forge Ceramic Brake Pads (FMBKPAD) or EBC Yellow Pads. 

Forge Motorsport supply great product that delivers the ideal combination of Ceramic Braking Technology that aligned with performance, comfort  and reliability.

This is the result from rigorous testing and development that gives exceptional strength and flexibility.

Features unrivalled noise prevention, sustainable performance and comfort  altogether.

Consistent stopping power with long lasting quality brake caliper comes from Forge lightweight six-pot caliper. It is a single-piece aluminium Mono-bloc design. 

This design has been used to maximise rigidity, pedal feel and overall braking performance. 

The caliper incorporates a progressive six-piston setup to give great brake balance and high quality seals increasing resilience to road salts and other corrosive elements.

Provided maximum rigidity, great balance with high quality seals. The mono bloc design gives better pedal feel. The Forge brake discs are the 2-piece floating rotors undergone CNC machined utilizing a lightweight forged billet aluminium rotor hats/ bells. 

The proprietary iron alloy rotor discs come with directional curved vanes for optimized rotor cooling. The slotted rotors allows for dust and gas evacuation, which further adds to long term durability. 

Forge Motorsport brake lines are hand-finished with Teflon-lined braided stainless steel bodies and custom-machined stainless fittings. 

This process resulted in a brake hose that will perform under the most extreme and harsh conditions, whilst still looking good and performing at the highest level.  

Depending on your wheel design, you may need spacers between the hub and the wheel in order to clear the calipers.

Forge Motorsport got a stencil available for you to place behind your wheels to work out fitment. You may email: info@forgemotorsport.co.uk for further information. 

**These kits do not have CE/ TUV approval and are recommended for race use only

Weight: Each Caliper weighs 3.25kg 
Each Disc weighs 9.35kg 
Torque Settings: Carrier to Hub 190-200NM Caliper to Carrier 130NM 

Due to high demand, all of Forge Motorsport kits require normal 14-16 week normal lead time to construct and deliver. 

**No warranty is offered for brake vibration suffered due to uneven rotor thickness wear after incorrect installation of brake rotors. 

It is commonly known in the brake rotor business that accurate mounting and checking of runout on brake rotors is paramount at installation.

Despite necessary warnings, many mechanics still see fit to ignore this warning and complete the fitment without checking the rotor runout. 

This will lead to brake vibration in the 3000 to 5000 miles lifetime period, voiding the warranty. 

The solution for vibration at this stage is to have the rotors turned or replaced, and to thoroughly clean the mounting flange on the vehicle, carefully checking for runout before returning the vehicle to service use. 

Due to the demanding conditions and the harsh nature of the environment brake calipers are subjected to, Forge Motorsport cannot offer any guarantee or warranty on their painted surfaces. 

Cleaning and Maintenance shall follow given procedure.
