VW Golf MK7/MK8 340mm Front Brake Kit (GTI PP & R) – DBA Street Series T2

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

Fits: VW Golf Mk7 & Mk8 GTI, R, Clubsport, Clubsport S, Performance Pack, TCR

This front brake upgrade kit combines DBA’s proven 4000 Series T2 slotted discs with SP Street Performance brake pads, delivering a significant improvement in stopping power, pedal feel and heat control over factory Mk7/Mk8 Golf brakes. Designed as a direct-fit upgrade for road and fast-road use, it offers stronger, more consistent braking without compromising daily drivability.

Disc Specification – DBA 4000 Series T2 (DBA2830S)

The T2 disc profile features a two-slot design engineered to provide stable, predictable braking with reduced pad glazing and improved heat dissipation.

Key Disc Details:

• Diameter: 340 mm
• Thickness: 30 mm (27 mm minimum)
• Ventilation: Kangaroo Paw (high-efficiency cooling)
• Slot Pattern: T2 bi-directional curved slot design
• High-carbon alloy construction for improved thermal stability
• Bolt Pattern: 5×112
• Centre Bore: 65 mm
• Height: 49.7 mm
• ECE R90 approved

The T2 slotting helps maintain a clean pad surface, improves wet-weather performance, and resists fade during repeated heavy braking.

Pad Specification – DBA SP Street Performance (DB8849SP)

Designed for fast-road driving, these pads offer improved bite, stronger friction and better consistency than OEM compounds while remaining refined enough for daily use.

Key Pad Details:

• Pad Type: SP Street Performance
• Dimensions: 175.3 x 69.7 x 18.8 mm
• Caliper Type: TRW factory caliper
• Strong initial bite with consistent friction
• Low dust and low noise characteristics
• Stable performance across a wide temperature range
• ECE R90 approved

The SP compound is ideal for drivers who want a sharper, more confident brake feel without moving into track-only pad behaviour.
