Product Details
Description
Introducing the all new NEUSPEED 6-Piston Big Brake Kit. It is a complete caliper replacement kit that is designed, engineered, machined and built in the USA specifically for Audi and Volkswagen vehicles.
The issue with factory brakes is always the calipers, they are floating with only ONE large piston. This kit replaces the inferior factory calipers with Forged 6-Piston Caliper kit that will improve pedal modulation and stopping performance significantly.
The NEUSPEED BBK Kit retains the use of factory brake rotor/disc for several reasons:
- (a) keeping the ø340mm size minimalize the rotational inertia mass, less when compared to the other aftermarket 355mm kits.
- (b) keeping maintenance overhead low for enthusiasts that go to club racing often.
- Two piece rotors are expensive replacements, $700-1,000/pr, while factory parts are about half of that cost.
Detailed Features:
CNC Machined Forged Aluminum Caliper Body
NEUSPEED Caliper is made from CNC machined Forged 6061-T6 aluminum alloy. The forging process realigns the material grain structure which provides phenomenal strength and weight reduction compared to casted as well as billet calipers.
Forged 6061-T6 Aluminum Pistons
Sharing the same manufacturing process, the Forged 6061-T6 Pistons provide better strength and rigidity compared to the ones made from extruded billet material. The Type III hard anodize shields the pistons against oxidation and provides additional Rockwell hardness to the piston surface.
Internal Seals System
NEUSPEED Calipers features dual internal piston seals. The hydraulic seals are made from a high temperature resistance composite material that are suitable against fatigue from day-to-day usage as well as high-temp competition abuse. The second seal, made from the same material, protects the hydraulic system from outside contaminants such as dust and moisture. This 'Internal Dust Seal' system is far more superior in durability compared to the dated external shield/boot system.
Matched Caliper
NEUSPEED is a specific VW/Audi tuning company and our caliper's piston surface and volume is engineered SPECIFICALLY to pair with VAG factory master cylinders. Unlike other brake manufacturers, we do not pick whatever 6-piston calipers off the shelves and use them across the board on multiple different car makes and model. Mismatched caliper size can cause spongy feel or overly sensitive pedal feel, which then ruins the pedal modulation and not allowing for precise and responsive braking points.
Quick Pad Change System
NEUSPEED caliper is designed by and for enthusiasts. The first item on our engineering design list is to have the ability to quickly and conveniently swap the brake pads. The removable bridge and pins system allows the user to swap pads without having to remove the caliper completely. Simply unbolt the top bridge, undo the guide pins, and slide out the pads, a quick 15-minute process!
Pad Wear Sensor Compatible
NEUSPEED big brake kit utilizes VW/Audi factory sensor kit, while others require the user to splice and bridge the sensor connector to avoid error light on the dash. TRUE OEM replacement.
Aerospace Grade Mounting Bracket
The only Big Brake Kit for VW/Audi models that utilize 7075-T6 billet aluminum bracket, coated with Type III Mil-Spec Hard Anodized. This aerospace grade aluminum alloy gives the same strength and rigidity as solid steel with the faction of the weight. This bracket will give solid feedback to the pedal and not give unlike the typical 6061 material used by other manufacturers.
High-Quality Hardware
All NEUSPEED Brake Kits include stainless steel braided PTFE core brake lines with stainless steel fittings. Caliper bolts are genuine PORSCHE part ensuring the proper strength and dimensions to the application.

Stops good
I originally thought upgrading rotors, pads, lines, and fluid would be enough for full send in the canyons out here in Southern California. It wasn't brakes on my Golf R still starting to fade after a few minutes of full send downhill. However, changing to these BBK I did not notice any fade after dozens of hard braking down hill. Braking feel is also approved. These are very reasonably priced. Any other 3 piston BBK are 2400+. The one thats cheap compared to these are the Wilwood BBK but they use a smaller rotor and I didn't want to downsize. These BBK Fitted to my ECS 2 piece rotors just fine and no problems so far after 3 months and 1 track day and multiple runs to the canyons.
