Supreme Power | Brembo GT-S 6 Piston Caliper Only Upgrade for RS3 & TTRS

.

GT-S Shown above

.

Some GT-S line details:



.

Brembo has released a new product for Audi RS3 (8V) and the Audi TT RS (8S). Convert the factory Audi calipers into GT-S track day 6 pot calipers that include inner and outer seals and racing style piston inserts for heat protection.


Kit includes:

• Pair of GT or GT-S 6 piston monobloc calipers
• Choice of high performance (FM1000) or street/track day pad (TS20)
• Aluminum spacer
• Caliper mounting bolts and hardware
• Compatible with stock brake lines and discs

GT-S 6 Piston Caliper:

-Internal Dust Seal, Stainless Steel Inserts
-Black Anodized, Machined Logo
-Monobloc, Cast

GT-S available in 1 color: Anodized black

The GT-S calipers use a twin seal design which utilizes an internal wiper seal to keep out containments, and a stainless steel insert for heat defense.

The caliper includes pad retaining springs for noise reduction during street use, so even though this Brembo caliper line has some of the main characteristics of a race caliper (monobloc, anodized finish, engraved logo, and stainless steel inserts), it can be comfortably used for normal daily driving with a street compound pad.



Also available is the GT 6 Piston Caliper:

-Dust Boots and Piston Seals
-Painted finish
-Monobloc, Cast



GT calipers are offered in:

Black
Red
Silver
Yellow

We currently have these upgrades in stock. Shoot me an email for quote.

Hi Paul! I'm guessing lighter than stock? any details on weight? thanks!

Yoooooo. Waiting on that info.

Offer front and rear replacements? Like if you wanted to use the 4 pistons in the rear?

They do have 4- piston Gt-S but I’m unaware if they have a rear fitment option here. These upgrades are not listed on the current Brembo application guide, and are considered a special order part so I’d have to find out.

[OE2]

They have to sort out the E-parking brake issue for rear fitment. It may be cheaper to look at an R8 retrofit in the rear

Who manufacturers the stock RS3 front brake calipers and what exactly is wrong with them?

Right. That will need to be addressed.

They are Brembo too. Arguably nothing wrong with Oem. These are smaller, 6 pot vs 8 pot, so 18” wheel options will work. Lighter too. They are also track focus in materials and components including the finish.

Pad selection is limited and expensive...and they are heavy.

There is nothing really wrong with them and upto a certain point (even light track work) they are fine, but there is always people who want something more extreme. Weight savings etc add up, pad selection (although for the level most people will be at there is plenty of good pads out there, including for track) These upgrades are obviously awesome but for most people, a rotor, pad and fluid upgrade is going to be MORE than enough.

[saxon]

will they fit a 17" wheel?

Lol. I got you in mind already . I’m waiting on those details.

Awesome kits Paul! A must have if I had an RS3. I've run a few 380mm GT kits. They feel so nice and look the business too. I have the caliper literally 3 feet from me on my end table if you want me to weigh it. And a 380mm rotor too.

Agreed. I’ve used their 330 GT before. Very nice.

If you could weigh the caliper Itd be great. 12lbs ya think?

Thank you!

Looks like the Rs3 Oem calipers are 17 lbs loaded so about 5 lbs savings per side.

Fo shizzle Pauly! Nice reduction, and much better units too. Wheels fits would open up too.

For sure! I have a 380x34 drilled rotor I can weight too. #homedecor 😛

[shivaswrath]

Need weight difference if possible

Are there any ccb pad options?

[Paul@SupremePower]

I’m just going to leave these new B-M6 full front kit pics here. Yes for the Rs3. 👍

Lol. You noticed that too huh? I’m reserving judgment on that for now. See how it shakes out.

12.2 on GTS with easy pad swaps and can use existing Girodisc rotors is a huge win. Just need to justify this cost in my head....

10 more lbs off of my front axle is amazing.

How much do R8 calipers sell for? Anyone sell their RS3 calipers yet?

What do these calipers offer in comparison to the AP Racing ones?

[S3DUDE]

Not the most appealing shape caliper on the market however Brembo knows what they are doing.

[Paul@SupremePower]

Brembo just confirmed Caliper Weight for the GT-S is 7.70 lbs unloaded.

Installed the GT-S M6s recently. Pad swap is not as easy as a top-loading caliper, obviously. The monoblock cross-piece means unbolting the caliper bolts and sliding the full caliper off the rotor. The only tricky part was getting the included spacers on to the caliper bolt underneath the caliper so you could then screw it in. Caliper studs will simplify things. I’ve only done it once so I assume I’ll get better at it w/ repetition. So harder than a top loader, but easier than swapping the rears.

Nothing on the B caliper specifically but looks to be the same as M6 described below and shown in link.

For these setups you’ll need to remove the calipers in order to swap out the pads. This is done with 2 caliper mounting bolts so the caliper can be removed.

Yes thank you for the input.

One other note for anyone putting this on an 8S or 8V: the M6 calipers have a bit less clearance than the stock caliper. Small number of mm, but a set of 18s that used to clear with stock calipers now come into contact with the hub side wheel weights. Will figure out if it's solved by weight placement. My bottom line so far is they bolt right on to stock sized rotors (or, in my case, stock sized Girodiscs) but they have a bit less clearance than stock. Hopefully this doesn't mean going back to 19s.

The GT and GT-S would have the same dimensions, right? So same potential issue with fitting 18"s?

Forgot I had pics.

Yes same size. The B-M6 is different tho. I have the system schematics and measurements if you need.

:(

Sorry! See above 😁

[NickH]

Does anyone know if the GT-S caliper has less spoke clearance than OEM?
