Why This Kit
Stepping up to a six-piston forged caliper and a large two-piece style hat rotor gives a hot-hatch far more thermal capacity than the stock front brakes, which is what a tuned GTI runs out of first on a back road or a track day. It also pairs cleanly with wheel, tire and suspension upgrades on show and street/track builds.
Fitment
