Brembo Big Brake Kits for Volkswagen Mk7 Golf R (2015-2019)

This is the full list of Brembo big brake kits for the 2015-2019 Volkswagen Mk7 Golf R, including the Mk7.5 cars. All of them are front kits with 6-piston calipers. They range from a 350x34mm GT kit to 380mm GT and PISTA kits, so you can size the upgrade to your wheels and how you drive. Each kit replaces the front calipers and discs with a matched Brembo caliper, 2-piece disc and pad package. The all-wheel-drive Golf R is quick in any weather, and a bigger front brake adds heat capacity for repeated hard stops.

Brembo's own short overview of its GT big brake kits. The calipers, finishes and discs in the video are examples; the kit you get is the one you select above.

Choosing Your Kit

• Kit: all kits are front kits with 6-piston calipers, listed GT first and then PISTA, smallest disc first. 350x34mm is the smallest GT kit and keeps wheel clearance easiest. The 380x34mm GT kits use the larger disc, and the PISTA kits come in 355x35mm or 380x35mm.
• Two 380x34mm GT kits: Brembo lists two 6-piston caliper families for the 380x34mm kit, coded N and T in its catalog. The N caliper kit comes in black, red, silver and yellow, plus GT-S and GT-R. The T caliper kit comes in black, red, yellow and fluorescent yellow. Both use the same disc size on this car.
• Finish: GT is the cast 2-piece caliper in a painted finish. GT-S is the black hard-anodized version and GT-R is billet-machined and nickel-plated. PISTA, Brembo's race system with a 6-piston forged 2-piece caliper here, comes in one standard finish. Finishes a kit does not offer cannot be selected for that kit.
• Disc Type: the 350x34mm kit uses Type 3 Slotted discs, and both PISTA kits come with Type 3 or Type 5 Slotted discs. The 380x34mm GT kits also come with Drilled or Type 1 Slotted discs for street use.

FAQ

Which Brembo kit is right for my Mk7 Golf R?
For a street car with occasional track days, a GT front kit in 350x34mm or 380x34mm is the usual pick. Choose GT-S or GT-R for a different finish, and PISTA for regular track or race use.

Does it fit the Mk7.5 Golf R?
Yes. Brembo lists these kits for the Golf R (Mk7), 2015-2019, which covers the 2018-2019 Mk7.5 facelift cars.

Will it fit my wheels?
The 380mm kits need more wheel clearance than the 350mm kit. Check your wheel size and offset, or send us your wheel specs before you order.

Fitment Notes

All kits on this page are listed by Brembo for the Golf R (Mk7), 2015-2019, front axle only; there are no rear kits for this car. The GT-R 6-piston caliper needs different wheel clearance from the GT 6-piston caliper. Brembo GT systems are designed for cars at original ride height. Many PISTA installs need the factory dust shield modified or removed.

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