{"product_id":"supercomp-forged-aluminum-big-brake-kit-2","title":"SuperComp Forged Aluminum Big Brake Kit","description":"These systems are intended for straightforward installation, typically requiring only minimal tools.\n\nThe extreme lightweight SuperComp caliper is a standout component, forged from aircraft-quality billet aluminum with a differential bore configuration and substantially larger pistons compared to Ksport's ProComp calipers. Each caliper weighs just over 7 lbs and incorporates machined protection grooves for bridge tubes. Standard features include aluminum pistons, high-temperature seals, titanium brake pad retainer clips, and stainless-steel brake pad wear plates. The opposed piston design enhances pad wear and caliper rigidity over OEM systems, while the stainless-steel braided brake lines resist expansion under pressure. Notably, the SuperComp caliper's substantial size necessitates four brake pads per caliper.\n\nThis kit includes a 2-piece floating disc assembly, which reduces both rotating and unsprung weight. The floating disc design mitigates thermal stress from extreme heat, preventing disc warping or cupping of the braking surface. The unique slot design on the rotor minimizes braking noise and more efficiently expels gas and pad debris than conventional designs. Rotors are heat-treated and balanced prior to shipment. Cross-drilled rotors are recommended for daily-driven vehicles due to their tendency to run cooler, while slotted rotors are suggested for more track-focused applications. D.O.T. compliant stainless-steel braided brake lines are standard, improving pedal feel and response. Ksport SC5 street pads are included, with an option for RC5 race pads (not recommended for street use due to high working temperatures).\n\nThis kit is compatible with the Volkswagen Passat B5 (1998-2005) 1.8T models, including both 4Motion and FWD variants. It is important to note that Ksport Big Brake Kits are made-to-order and are non-refundable. The SuperComp series comes with a 12-month limited warranty covering manufacturer defects.","brand":"Ksport","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52869060395320,"sku":"BKVW131-961CO","price":4169.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/687996968.jpg?v=1787916448","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/supercomp-forged-aluminum-big-brake-kit-2","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
