Performance Front Brake Upgrade for VW Golf Mk7 & Mk8 GTI / R

This front axle kit pairs DBA’s high-performance 4000 Series T3 slotted 340 mm front discs (DBA42830S) with the XP Series high-friction brake pads (DB8849XP). Designed for drivers who demand maximum stopping power, heat control and fade resistance, this kit delivers a significant upgrade over the factory braking system fitted to Golf Mk7/Mk7.5 GTI Performance, Clubsport, Clubsport S, TCR and Golf R models, as well as Mk8 GTI and Mk8 R.
