What’s included in this Brembo GT-M kit

• 2× Brembo GT calipers (colour of choice)
• 2× 2-piece floating rotors 380x34mm (LH + RH)

• Complete mounting hardware (bolts, washers, pins, clips)
• Brembo installation instructions (EN/IT)

Why upgrade to Brembo GT-M

• Greater thermal capacity: 380mm 2-piece floating rotor dissipates heat faster than OEM discs, delivering fade-free performance under sustained heavy braking.
• Stiffer, more linear pedal feel: 6-piston monobloc construction eliminates caliper flex, giving you the same pedal response on lap 1 and lap 20.
• Lower unsprung weight: 2-piece floating assembly reduces rotational mass by up to 22% per wheel vs stock single-piece OEM rotors.
• Italian OEM quality: Built on the same production line that supplies Porsche, Ferrari, and AMG performance models from the factory.
• 4 caliper colours: Match your wheel and interior accents with Black, Red, Silver, Yellow.

Frequently asked questions

Will this Brembo kit fit my 2008–2016 AUDI R8 4.2 / R8 5.2 (EXCLUDING CARBON-CERAMIC BRAKE)?

Yes — this 6-piston GT-M front kit is engineered specifically for the 2008–2016 AUDI R8 4.2 / R8 5.2 (EXCLUDING CARBON-CERAMIC BRAKE) front axle at OEM ride height. If your car is lowered more than 25mm or has non-standard wheels under 19″, contact us first.

What’s the difference between GT-M, GT-S, GT-R?

All three use the same physical caliper body; they differ in internal piston size, pad compound, and rotor pattern. GT-M is the street-oriented base tier, while GT-S and GT-R add progressively more aggressive track capability.

Are brake pads included?

Yes — one set of Brembo street-performance brake pads is included. Optional upgrades to Pagid, Ferodo, or Schaffen compounds are available.

What brake fluid does Brembo recommend?

DOT 4 meeting Brembo’s specification (minimum dry boiling point 260°C). We recommend Motul RBF600 for street and RBF660 for track use.

Do I need wheel spacers?

No — all Brembo GT-M kits are designed to fit within OEM wheel offset and caliper clearance specifications for this fitment. A minimum 19″ wheel is required.
