Astra BTCC 368mm 6 piston Brake Kit


If you are interested in this upgrade then please read this whole advert as there are a lot of points to mention about this full race grade kit

 

* Pads and disc rotors are used for one BTCC session ( 20MINS ) - DISCS AND PADS NOT NEW

** minimum wheel size 18” ( tested with pro race 1.3 rim )

*** Astra G uprights will need the lugs on the uprights removing – normal for most big caliper kits

 

 

If you are looking for some serious track focused stopping power then these are about as good as it gets – these are the same part numbers that the BTCC guys are using and everything has been adjusted to suit it fitting to an Astra !

 

We came up with some custom brackets and some custom floating bells to suit the rotors, packing the disc as far as we could into the wheel arch , leaving as much wheel clearance as we could.

The rotor bells have some material machined away to encourage some air to the far side of the disc – this will provide better over all cooling. These use the AP racing forged type hardware pack , it is fixed in the bell and floats in the disc meaning this area is swapped out and refreshed when you eventually need to change the rotors.

Why supply used parts in a new kit ? Well its a cost thing !!

As you start to get into track days you start to notice how the consumables go up and up , pads and rotors being one thing for sure . Typically a new set of the pads supplied in this kit will be over £600 + vat for the pads alone , we account for about £150 in this kit. The rotors , in particular the newest S vane rotors are over £600 each side , we account for about £250 per pair in this kit – replacing these parts cheaply means you really can take the sting out of running costs , running such an insane kit will also make them last much longer for more normal track use . The rest of the parts make up the cost quite quickly – the calipers are at the top end of what AP deliver , full stainless pistons with staggered sizes in a LH / RH configuration. This kit has the best brake feel that you can put into an Astra , with a decent set of brake ducts it would take a special kind of hero to overheat these :)

 

The calipers are to suit the extra thick pads , the rotors are the larger 36mm endurance versions- even though the pads are used they will still be far thicker than any road type pad as again these are the endurance spec thickness.

 

 

Replacement Pads and rotors are available

 

This kit could be made to fit the Corsa D also – we have not done it yet but if you were seriously interested we could make it happen !


We have used and supplied AP calipers for years now and as a best bang for buck pro kit , this seems to fit what our customers need, in most cases with regards to this kit, it is probably worth emailing us first. If you feel we have explained it well enough to buy it then we can ship it !
