Brembo Big Brake Kits for Ford Focus RS (2016-2018)

This page lists the Brembo big brake kit we offer for the Ford Focus RS (Mk3), sold in the US for the 2016-2018 model years. The all-wheel-drive, turbocharged Focus RS is a popular track-day car, and long sessions put a lot of heat into the factory brakes. Brembo lists one front kit: a GT 6-piston caliper on 380x32mm two-piece discs, offered with drilled, Type 1 slotted or Type 3 slotted discs. A Brembo system replaces the caliper and disc on the axle you choose with a matched caliper, disc and pad package, sold as a complete axle set.

The kit comes in black, red, silver or yellow, as a GT-S (black hard-anodized) or as a GT-R (billet-machined and nickel-plated). The Focus RS already has factory Brembo front calipers; this kit is Brembo's aftermarket system with a larger disc, a new 6-piston caliper and pads.

Choosing Your Kit

• Kit: One front kit is listed first: a GT 6-piston kit on 380x32mm discs. Each kit name gives the axle, the system (GT or PISTA), the piston count and the disc size.
• Finish: every kit on this page comes in black, red, silver, yellow, GT-S (black hard-anodized), and GT-R (billet-machined and nickel-plated). A finish that a kit does not offer cannot be selected for it.
• Disc Type: drilled discs suit street driving and give good wet-weather bite; Type 1 Slotted is a street and occasional-track disc; Type 3 Slotted is aimed at regular track days. Every kit offers Drilled, Type 1 Slotted, and Type 3 Slotted.

FAQ

My Focus RS already has Brembo brakes. Is this an upgrade?
Yes. The factory Brembo calipers are original-equipment parts. This kit uses a larger 380x32mm two-piece disc, a new 6-piston caliper and new pads.

Does it fit the Focus ST?
No. Brembo lists this kit for the Focus RS only.

What is the difference between GT, GT-S and GT-R?
All three are Brembo 6-piston calipers on the same disc. GT is the painted caliper, GT-S adds a black hard-anodized finish, and GT-R is machined from billet and nickel-plated.

Which disc should I choose?
Drilled discs are the classic look and suit street driving. Slotted discs keep the pad surface clean under heavy use and are the better choice for towing, mountain roads or track days. Every disc type on a kit is the same size and price.

Will these kits fit my wheels?
Every big brake kit needs wheel clearance, and the 380mm kits need the most room on the Focus RS. Send us your wheel size and offset and we will check them against Brembo's clearance data before you order.

Fitment Notes

Brembo lists the kit on this page for the Ford Focus RS, 2016-2018. Brembo GT systems are designed for cars at original ride height. Raising the ride height is not compatible with the brake lines included in these systems. The GT-R 6-piston caliper needs different wheel clearance from the GT 6-piston caliper.

Each kit fits the vehicles listed below. Confirm wheel clearance before ordering.
