Vorsprung Autowerk Haken Street Rear Big Brake Kit for Audi B8/B8.5/B9/B9.5 A4/S4/RS4, A5/S5/RS5, Q5/SQ5
Vorsprung Autowerk Haken Street Rear Big Brake Kit: Unleash Rear Braking Prowess
The Vorsprung Autowerk Haken Street Rear Big Brake Kit transforms your vehicle's rear braking performance, delivering exceptional stopping power, improved heat management, and a track-ready feel. This innovative kit, the "hook" of your brake system, combines the renowned performance of a Brembo caliper with the seamless integration of a Tesla electronic parking brake (EPB) caliper, offering a unique and highly effective braking solution.
These aren't your run-of-the-mill, mass-produced brakes you'd stumble across on Alibaba. Engineered to our exact specifications, they feature an industry-leading 3.8% carbon content and precision-remanufactured OEM calipers, delivering the perfect balance of performance, durability, and reliability.
Dual-Caliper Design for Uncompromising Performance:
The Haken kit's dual-caliper design is at the heart of its exceptional performance. A high-performance Brembo caliper provides the primary stopping power, offering superior clamping force and fade resistance for aggressive driving. Simultaneously, a dedicated Tesla EPB caliper ensures reliable and convenient parking brake functionality, maintaining all the factory conveniences while significantly upgrading performance braking. This eliminates the common compromises associated with integrating a parking brake into a big brake kit.
Key Features and Benefits:
- Brembo Caliper: Brembo design 4-piston caliper delivers exceptional stopping power and consistent performance, even under extreme conditions. Experience a significant improvement in brake feel and shorter stopping distances.
- Tesla EPB Caliper Integration: Maintains full factory electronic parking brake functionality with a dedicated Tesla caliper. Simply install your existing brake motor into the caliper.
- 356MM Rear Rotor: The kit includes 356mm two-piece slotted rotors designed for optimal heat dissipation and resistance to warping. These rotors provide a significantly larger braking surface compared to stock, further enhancing stopping power and fade resistance.
- Billet Aluminum Caliper Brackets: Precision-machined from high-strength 7075 billet aluminum, the caliper brackets ensure a perfect and secure fitment of both the Brembo and Tesla calipers. These brackets are engineered for maximum rigidity, minimizing flex and maintaining consistent brake feel.
- High-Performance Brake Pads: Vorsprung Autowerk SP carbon ceramic brake pads are included, optimized for the larger rotors and calipers. These pads offer a high coefficient of friction, excellent fade resistance, low dust, and consistent performance across a wide temperature range.
- Stainless Steel Brake Lines: Upgraded stainless steel brake lines eliminate the flex associated with factory rubber lines, providing a firmer pedal feel and improved brake modulation.
- Forged 2-Piece Floating Rotors
- All Necessary Hardware: The kit includes all required bolts, washers, and shims for a straightforward and professional installation.
