Big Brake Kit
A big brake kit replaces standard brakes with larger discs and stronger calipers to improve heat capacity and resistance to fade.
What is Big Brake Kit?
It is popular for track use and heavy, powerful cars. Larger discs often need bigger wheels to fit. Pad choice matters as much as caliper size. Brake fluid with a higher boiling point is usually fitted together with a big brake kit for track use.
How it works
Larger discs absorb and shed more heat, and multi-piston calipers spread clamping force evenly.
Why it matters for your car
Changing the brake balance can affect ABS and stability control behaviour. Check whether the modification needs approval for road use.
