KSport Supercomp Front Big Brake Kit (380x32mm) - VW MK1 Golf

Ksport SuperComp Big Brake Kits provide the ultimate in stopping power for your vehicle. Integrating new brake technology into the design of the kits allows for a kit that highly reduces brake fade and continually cools and refreshes the brake pads surface under braking. These brake systems are designed for easy installation with minimal tools required (in most applications).

Massive Stopping Power

Our extreme lightweight SuperComp caliper comes in differential bore configuration and features much larger pistons than our ProComp calipers. It is forged from aircraft quality billet aluminum, weighs just over 7lbs. each, and has machined in protection grooves for the bridge tubes. Aluminum pistons, high temperature seals, titanium brake pad retainer clips and stainless-steel brake pad wear plates are also standard on each caliper design. The opposed piston caliper design greatly improves pad wear and caliper rigidity over the OEM design. The stainless-steel brake lines stop expansion under pressure. Due to the larger size of the caliper in the SuperComp series, 4 brake pads are standard per caliper.

2-Piece Floating Disc Assembly

SuperComp systems come standard with our 2-piece floating disc assembly, which reduces weight both rotating and unsprung. The floating disc also stops thermal stresses of extreme heat from warping the disc or cupping the braking surface. The unique slot design on the rotor greatly reduces braking noise and expels gas and pad debris faster than conventional slot designs. Every rotor is always heat treated and balanced before shipment for the best possible performance. Cross drilled rotors tend to run cooler than slotted and are recommended for daily driven vehicles. Slotted rotors are recommended for vehicles that will be seeing more track use than daily driving.

Ksport SC5 Street Pads

Ksport SC5 Street Pads: These NAOC ceramic pads are designed to give you the optimal braking performance under street and occasional track conditions. Optimal operating temperatures are between 194F 1022F for fast warm up under normal driving conditions. These pads reduce the amount of brake dust by 50% or more when compared to our race pads. The SC5 pads also greatly reduce the amount of noise and wear on the rotor over the race pads. The average coefficient of friction on this pad is between .46 and .53.

Ksport RC5 Race Pads

Ksport RC5 Race Pads: These carbon metallic race pads are designed to give you the best stopping power possible under extreme track conditions. Optimal operation temperatures are between 482F 1472F so it is not recommended for street use due to the high working temperature needed for optimal performance.

Super 8 Pot Calipers in Our Front 380mm, 400mm, 421mm and Rear 400mm Systems
Larger pistons are used in our super 8 pot calipers for truly massive stopping power. Billet aircraft quality 6061-T6 aluminum construction help keep the weight down and also shed the heat quickly. Due to the huge size of our super 8 pot calipers, each caliper requires 4 brake pads.

Rear 6 Pot Calipers in Our 380mm System
6 pot lightweight aluminum calipers are standard in our 380mm/15 rear big brake systems. The opposed piston caliper design greatly improves pad wear and caliper rigidity over the OEM design.

Floating 2-Piece Rotors
Floating 2-piece rotors are standard on all SuperComp brake systems. The floating disc stops thermal stresses of extreme heat from warping the disc or cupping the braking surface. Less chance of vibration is also a benefit of floating discs.

Cross Drilled Rotors
Cross drilled rotors are the best option for a daily driven street car. Drilled rotors also tend to run slightly cooler than slotted. Both types have increased bite over stock and continuously clean and refresh the pad surface.

Slotted Rotors
Slotted rotors are recommended for race applications. Both types have increased bite over stock and continuously clean and refresh the pad surface.

Carbon Steel Caliper Brackets
Every kit comes with CNC machined carbon steel caliper brackets designed specifically for your vehicle. Due to our calipers being much larger than OEM, these brackets help our calipers bolt right up to the OEM caliper location.

Stainless Steel Brake Lines
D.O.T compliant stainless-steel braided brake lines are standard in all our brake kits. Stainless steel brake lines improve overall pedal feel and provide quicker pedal response.

Optional Race Pads
SC5 street pads are standard equipment in our brake kits along with an option for our race pads. Street pads are ceramic and race pads are carbon metallic. Race pads are NOT recommended for street use due to their working temperature being much higher than street pads.

12 Month Limited Warranty
All Ksport big brake kits come standard with a 12-month warranty which covers manufacturer defects.
