Now Available: JHM B8/B8.5 Porsche (Brembo) 382MM Front Big Brake Kit

[Jake@JHM]

JHMotorsports is pleased to introduce a low cost, 100% Bolt On, Front BBK (Big Brake kit) solution for your B8 A4-S4 A5-S5 that uses the popular Porsche Brembo 6-Piston Caliper, also commonly known as the 19Z!









INCLUDES:
2x - JHM 2-piece Lightweight Slotted Front Rotors
2x - JHM Caliper Brackets with Mounting Hardware
2x - BRAND NEW OEM Porsche (6-piston Brembo) Calipers
2x - Stainless DOT Approved Brake Lines
1x - Set of OE Pads Brake Pads
1x - OEM Brake Pad Sensor (Driver Side Only)
1x - Liter Pentosin DOT 4 Synthetic Brake Fluid

INSTALLATION: This is a COMPLETE 100% bolt on Big Brake Kit for the B8 Chassis. This kit requires ZERO modifications, cuts, grinds, splices, etc. making installation quick and simple. NOTE: The stock Dust Shields will need to be removed for proper clearance

OEM S4-S5 Rotors vs. JHM Lightweight Rotors (A4-A5 vehicles will yield greater results)
-Rotor Weight: Stock = 23lbs(each), JHM = 24.1lbs(each) - Only 1lb heavier for a MUCH larger rotor
-Rotor Cooling Air-gap: Stock = 11.5mm(.450"), JHM = 18.5mm(.728") - LARGER for better cooling
-Rotor Cooling Center Fin Design: Stock = One Direction Airfoil (one side pumps the air from the inside out and the other side pumps the air from the outside in), JHM = Airfoil (side specific rotors that both pump the air from the inside out) - EQUAL EFFICIENCY for equal cooling
-Rotor OD: Stock = 345mm(13.6"), JHM = 382mm(15.039") - 1.43" LARGER
-Rotor Thickness: Stock = 30mm(1.18"), JHM = 34mm (1.33") - 4mm (.15") LARGER
-Bolt pattern: - SAME (fits like an OEM rotor would)

Why the Porsche Cayenne caliper? With its 6-piston design and MASSIVE brake pads it is a strong performer. Also it bolts right up to your spindles using our JHM CNC'd Caliper Brackets. All you need is the included bolts, brake lines and JHM rotors and you have a 382mm Big Brake Kit.

Outer ring specs:
We worked closely with a race brake manufacturer that supplies many NASCAR racers and a couple major brake kit companies. Due to their expertise we chose to have them build us the outer rings to our specs to fit the B8 Chassis. 12 attachment points for durability and strength.



Center hat specs:
We CNC machine the Aluminum center hats in house based on their recommended materials and thicknesses for durability. 12 attachment points for durability and strength. We also engrave JHM in them in 3 locations equal from each other, it looks clean and doesn't jump out or look tacky.

Custom Caliper Colors Available!

Your link for more info isn't currently working for me

edit: sorry I had a B7 selected...your site could use a little update on that feature

Haha, working as planned! It's designed to not show you products that don't fit your car.

well in that case it works brilliantly except I didn't have my car selected either

How many $ is "low cost"?

How many $ is "low cost"?

"$2,650.00" low cost.

Ecs sell rs5 8 piston kit for about the same price....

[WAF]

um yup, I figured you'd have a good meme. lol

[adamazing]

Well, that kit starts at $2900, and gets up to $3100 if you opt for the wave rotors. This kit also runs 17mm larger rotors than even the RS5 kit. I think this kit is actually the better value just for that reason. You're not going to see a whole lot of stopping difference between a 6 piston vs. an 8 piston caliper of the same style - but you will see a bigger difference if the braking force is moved further from the center of the hub.

Also, when you compare it to, say, the Stoptech St-40 BBK and it's 332mm rotors at $2500... this isn't a bad deal at all.

There is a lot more to do with braking performance than just the number of pistons and the size of the rotor. You have to compare apples to apples. Running an RS brake setup or Porsche or Q5 are going to increase your stopping abilities. However, none of them are in the league of a real BBK. The rotor size is not everything...

FWIW, ECS offers this same kit, and has for awhile now. 19Z with 380mm rotors, and at essentially the same price- with their in-house brackets and rotors of course; but still, same thing.

Love JHM! Do you guys have a fitment template that's printable to check fitment? The website says 19" or greater; I'm on 20s but they're really concave.

[A4 Centaur]

Great looking BBK! Hope to see more on other B8's soon.

We don't have a template yet, but worse case for you is you may need some wheel spacers. How much clearance do you have with the stock brakes?

Thanks, me too!

Nobody is arguing that, but how does that relate to my comparison between this and the RS kit with ROI involved? Of course there are other elements involved - pad material, unsprung weight, clamping force, heat dissipation, etc.

But I'm only specifically talking about the difference between this kit for $2600 vs an RS kit for $3000.

You're correct, I was referring to you talking about the Stoptech. More for others than yourself. A lot of guys on here think that the larger the rotor, the better the Kit.

How's the K04 coming Brian?

Touche, my friend.

I was just teasing Corbin, would love to see more JHM activity on B8s.

[Lambda13]

By the time JHM comes out with B8 stuff there won't be anything left for me to do except do a full engine build and trans swap. :)

[Jake@JHM]

Our turbo kit will bolt up. you would just need to find tuning.

Do you already have a k04? Our stage 3 kit for the B7 could be pushed a lot harder on a B8

I am picking up a k04 soon (deal made). Does that kit fit a B8 though?

[Jake@JHM]

Not just yet

Oh okay. The turbo/manifold would bolt right up.

Good to know. If I want moar power down the line I'll keep that kit in mind.

[Jake@JHM]

Hmmm what vehicle do you have selected?

[AllroadCorbin]

I had no idea JHM made an FMIC for our cars..

Yup!! We make several parts for the B8 A4!

Not sure why but myself and many other B8 morons kinda assumed JHM was not in the B8 game. hell I might go make a thread with links to JHM stuff for the B8

Haha really? We have been selling those parts so maybe the people buying them are the low-key guys lol
