PARAGON 6-Piston Front Big Brake Kit Honda Civic Type R (FK8/FL5)

This complete, track-ready front big brake kit is a major upgrade for the Honda Civic Type R (FK8 / FL5), delivering superior braking power, thermal efficiency, and weight savings over the OEM setup. Featuring Paragon’s PA015 or PA035 6-piston calipers, this system is engineered for consistent performance under high heat and repeated use. The only difference between the caliper models is the maximum rotor size supported—giving you flexibility based on your driving needs.
