Slimline 3 Piston Front Big Brake Kit

The Ksport Slimline 3 Piston 330mm Front Big Brake Kit is engineered to provide significant braking performance upgrades for your Volkswagen Golf (1993-1998). This kit is particularly noteworthy for its Slimline Caliper design, which mimics the thickness of OEM single-side piston calipers. This innovative design allows for compatibility with most factory wheels and aftermarket wheels that have limited caliper clearance, addressing a common issue where larger aftermarket calipers interfere with wheel space. The kit includes a 330mm two-piece rotor, which is considerably lighter than OEM rotors, contributing to reduced unsprung weight. The calipers utilize a 3-pot design and are paired with CNC machined Carbon Steel caliper brackets to ensure a direct bolt-on installation to the OEM caliper bracket location. Standard caliper colors include Orange, Red, Black, and Yellow, with options for premium high-polish finishes and custom colors. Included are Ksport's SC5 Street Pads, designed for optimal performance on the street and for occasional track days. These pads are formulated to reduce brake dust by over 50% compared to race pads, while also minimizing noise and rotor wear. The operating temperature range for these pads is between 194°F and 1022°F. To further enhance braking feel and response, the kit incorporates D.O.T. compliant stainless steel braided brake lines, which prevent line expansion under pressure and provide a firmer pedal. Customers can choose between Slotted or Cross Drilled rotors. Cross Drilled rotors are recommended for daily driven vehicles as they run cooler, while Slotted rotors are suggested for track use. Ksport Big Brake kits are built to order, and production and delivery typically take 4-6 weeks. Fitment can be confirmed using the vehicle search tool on the Fitment Industries website.
