Alcon Front Big Brake Kit Audi RS3 Sedan (8V / 8V.5)

Alcon Front Big Brake Kit - Audi RS3 Sedan (8V / 8V.5)

This Alcon front big brake kit is built for the Audi RS3 Sedan (8V and 8V.5). It pairs an Alcon 6-piston caliper with a large 2-piece floating rotor on a vehicle-specific billet hat and bracket, giving more thermal capacity, less unsprung weight and a firmer, more consistent pedal than the factory brakes. It suits fast road cars, track days and motorsport, and we can help put together a package that is Group 3E compliant for Production Car Australia.

Choose your caliper

• CAR97 "Mono6": monobloc 6-piston caliper with dust seals for road and track days, and it can be engineered for road use. 380x32mm rotor.
• CAR99: the CAR99 "Mono6" 6-piston caliper with dust seals for road and track. 380x32mm rotor.
• CAR89 "TA6+": motorsport-derived 6-piston caliper with high-temperature dust seals, so it can still be engineered for road use. 380x32mm rotor.
• CAR89 "Motorsport": the race version of the CAR89, supplied as the CAR8949Y26 caliper with 27.0 / 31.8 / 38.1mm stainless steel pistons, anti-knockback springs and a bolted pad retainer. No dust boots, so it is for track and competition use. Same rotor choices as the TA6+.
• CAR89 "ENP": the CAR89 with electroless nickel plating for corrosion resistance, supplied as the CAR8959Y16PES caliper with 27.0 / 31.8 / 38.1mm pistons. It keeps high-temperature dust seals like the TA6+, so it suits road and track and can be engineered for road use. Same rotor choices as the TA6+.
• CAR70 "RC6": 2-piece forged 6-piston caliper with high-temperature seals and stainless steel pistons, for road and track. 380x32mm rotor.

Then pick your rotor size and brand. The 380x32mm rotor comes in Alcon or Paragon.

Replacement rotor rings: to find rings for your rotor size, use our Rotor Ring Finder.

Brake fluid: bleed the new system with Alcon PRO-600 for road and track days, or PRO-660 for racing.

Note: The RS3 needs a rotor of at least 370mm, so this kit runs 380x32mm rotors. The included pads are basic street pads for road use only, so fit a track compound before track days. Check wheel clearance. Kits are made to order. Installation by a professional is recommended.
