Big Brake Kits

Big Brake Kits offer a turnkey solution for drivers who need more stopping power, improved heat management, and a firmer pedal feel than stock brakes can provide. By pairing larger rotors with multi‑piston calipers, performance pads, and stainless lines, these kits transform the braking experience for spirited street driving, canyon runs, and full track use.

Why Upgrade to a Big Brake Kit?

• Greater Thermal Capacity
  Larger rotors and directional vane designs absorb and dissipate heat more effectively, reducing fade during repeated hard stops.
• Shorter Stopping Distances
  Multi‑piston calipers apply even clamping pressure across the pad surface, increasing bite and decreasing braking distance.
• Enhanced Pedal Modulation
  Braided stainless lines prevent expansion, giving a consistent, responsive pedal so you can fine‑tune brake input at the threshold of lock‑up.

Core Components

• Multi‑Piston Calipers
  Rigid aluminum or forged housings minimize flex, maintain pad alignment, and provide balanced pressure distribution.
• Larger Two‑Piece or One‑Piece Rotors
  Increased diameter and thickness add thermal mass, while slotted or drilled faces aid debris evacuation and pad bite.
• Performance Brake Pads
  Compounds matched to street, sport, or track use ensure the right friction level and heat tolerance for your driving style.
• Braided Stainless Brake Lines
  DOT‑compliant lines improve pedal feel by eliminating rubber line expansion under high pressure.
• Mounting Hardware & Brackets
  Vehicle‑specific brackets keep calipers centered over the rotor, preserving factory brake bias and ABS functionality.

Street and Track Benefits

Whether you tackle weekend canyon roads or full‑length track sessions, a Big Brake Kit delivers measurable performance gains:

• Reduced fade under continuous braking.
• Improved confidence thanks to a firmer, more linear pedal.
• Potential weight savings with two‑piece rotor designs and lightweight calipers.

Choosing the Right Kit

• Driving Environment
  Track‑focused kits use high‑temp pad compounds and two‑piece rotors; street‑sport kits emphasize low noise and daily comfort.
• Wheel Clearance
  Measure spoke‑to‑hub and barrel clearance to ensure the larger caliper and rotor package fits behind your wheels.
• Brake Balance
  Select kits engineered to preserve front‑to‑rear bias so ABS, stability control, and brake balance remain predictable.

Installation & Break‑In Tips

• Always bleed the system with fresh, high‑boiling‑point brake fluid.
• Follow the kit manufacturer’s bedding procedure—usually a series of progressively harder stops to mate pads and rotors.
• Recheck torque on all caliper bolts and brackets after the first heat cycle.

Upgrading to a Big Brake Kit is one of the most effective ways to boost on‑road confidence and track consistency. Explore our collection to find the ideal rotor size, caliper configuration, and pad compound that match your horsepower, driving style, and wheel setup.
