There are two front kits: a GT 6-piston kit on 350x34mm discs and a PISTA 6-piston race kit on 355x35mm discs. The Mk8 GTI is a quick, turbocharged hot hatch, and on a front-drive car the front brakes do most of the work at an autocross or track day. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrembo lists both kits for the Mk8 GTI. The GT kit comes with Type 3 Slotted discs, in black, red, silver, yellow, GT-S or GT-R.
