                                • Lightweight single-piece aluminium Mono-bloc design for optimum strength
                                • Staggered piston bore sizes for improved brake balance and even pad wear
                                • High stiffness (firm pedal)
                                • Pin-mounted pads provide low threshold pressure and minimize unwanted noises
                                • Features dust seals to improve durability and protection against debris / road salt



                                        Rotors

                                        • Floating 2-piece design allows thermal expansion of the rotor while minimizing deformation and ensuring the rotor is self-centered with the pads
                                        • Superior braking and cooling efficiency
                                        • Features directional ventilation vanes to create suction, turbulence, and guides cool air through the rotor for improved heat dissipation and increased resistance to cracking
                                        • Made of CM-250 special formulated high carbon alloy cast iron. Allows for an optimal bite, thermal characteristics, high-temperature strength, and durability
                                        • Heat treated to release stress in the rotor to avoid deformation and vibration
                                        • State-of-the-art CBN surface machining to ensure better break-in with new brake pads
                                        • Excellent thermal capacity to minimize brake fade

                                                    Features 48 directional ventilation vanes to create suction and turbulence, and guide cool air through the rotor to achieve better heat dissipation and increased resistance to cracking under harsh track conditions. Each rotor is left or right side specific, and the ventilation vanes are optimized to spin in a particular direction to pump the maximum amount of cool air through the rotor. This design allows the rotor to run up to 30% cooler than O.E. rotors and increases cooling efficiency by up to 30% over standard 1-piece units. Brake fade and judder are minimized during extended sessions. This means the brake system can withstand heavier track usage and provide consistent braking performance lap after lap.

                                                    Slotted rotor face pattern improves brake consistency by constantly cleaning the contact surface and dissipate heat generated, and gases released when the pads come into contact with the rotors. Slotted rotors have a superior advantage over blank rotors in wet or raining conditions by preventing water films to form between the brake pad and rotor surface.

                                                    Aluminum Hats

                                                    • CNC machined from lightweight 6061-T6 aerospace grade aluminum
                                                    • Unsprung weight reduction
                                                    • High strength and durability
                                                    • Black hard coat/hard anodized to increase resistance to wear and corrosion

                                                          Floating Bobbins & Mounting System

                                                          Utilizes T-Bobbin rotor to hat mounting system to allow "float" in both radial and axial directions, and minimize brake judder. The high quality stainless steel hardware are corrosion resistant which allows secure mounting, and smooth expansion and contraction throughout heat cycles. Anti wear clips (McLaren spring clips) are utilized to slightly pre-load the rotor assembly and minimize rattling noise.

                                                          Caliper Mounting Brackets

                                                          CNC machined caliper mounting brackets to ensure superior strength, durability, and secure mounting of calipers to knuckles.

                                                                          Big Brake Kit common questions

                                                                          Installation

                                                                          What tools do I need to install?

                                                                          Our brake kits require common hand tools for installation. You will need a torque wrench, brake fluid (2 pints), and loctite.

                                                                          What if I run into issues while installing?

                                                                          We pride ourself in expert advice. You can call or text us at 630-360-2548 for expert technical and installation advice.

                                                                          Are any other modifications required?

                                                                          For OEM installations where wider rotors are fitted, you should expect to remove or trim the rotor dust/heat shield. This often interferes with larger rotors but is no longer needed due to our upgraded components.

                                                                          Will I need a new Master Cylinder

                                                                          No. All of our brake kits are designed specifically to work with the hydraulic ratio of your stock master cylinder

                                                                          Do I need wheel spacers

                                                                          We provide a fitment template for you to check clearance in advance. In some cases a small spacer may be required and we provide those when we are sure they are needed.

                                                                          Are brake pads included?

                                                                          Yes. We include the appropriate brake pads for all our brake kits. In some cases we offer multiple compounds for you to customize your experience. We stock a wide variety of pads for Alcon Brake kits here.

                                                                          Break In questions

                                                                          Do I need to brake in new rotors/pads?

                                                                          Yes! We highly recommend following our brake pad/rotor bed in process. This ensures that an even layer of pad material is deposited on the rotor to eliminate shudder, increase rotor life, and to heat temper the new rotors for longer life.

                                                                          What about noise and dust?

                                                                          Noise and dust are related to the brake pad compound. Higher temp pads have more metallic composition and will therefore increase potential noise and dust the more aggressive the pad. For squealing issues we recommended loosening the caliper and re tightening it. This will sometimes change the caliper "frequency". Additionally "sticky shims" or our titanium pad shims will reduce noise.

                                                                          Operational Questions

                                                                          Is this compatible with my ABS?

                                                                          Yes! We test our brakes to ensure they are fully compatible with your stock ABS on all models we release.

                                                                          How long do they last?

                                                                          Lifetime of components is massively variable based on how they are used. High dust/dirt/salt environments will wear seals out more quickly. Heavy Duty or Track use will also affect rotor and pad life.

                                                                          What is the warranty?

                                                                          We support the manufacturers 12 month/12000 mile warranty against factory defects and material issues. You can find more details here.
