APR BRAKES - 350X34MM 2 PIECE 6 PISTON KIT - FRONT - RED - (MQB 340MM) BRK00003

APR's Big Brake Kit Upgrades are ultra-durable, feature-packed solutions specifically tailored to each vehicle. The brakes provide outstanding stopping-power at an affordable price and are targeted towards a wide operating range, such as normal spirited street driving, track days, and HPDE events. All of the systems handily out-brake, out-last, and out-perform many systems on the market with ease. They obliterate massive factory brake systems, such as those found on the Audi RS3. Simply put, few can come close to matching the features and price point we offer with our systems. Whereas most systems on the market either make heavy sacrifices to either look fancy, cut weight, or cut costs, the APR system is designed to simply brake better, last longer, and stand the test of time. Included Pads High-Performance Street Pads Details: Specifically designed for use in high-performance street applications and one of the best high-performance street pads on the world market at the moment. This compound beds-in quickly and delivers strong brake performance over a wide temperature range. The material exhibits a strong initial bite as you engage the brake pedal followed by a slightly rising torque curve during a single brake application. This slight rise in brake torque in the mid-late stages of a brake application makes use of the additional front tire grip available after weight transfer has occurred during a typical (medium-hard) brake application. This delivers optimal stopping distances when tested on street cars running high-performance street tires. The compound features a high average friction coefficient and delivers reduced stopping distances as well as improved fade resistance when compared to most OEM and aftermarket high-performance street pads. - Optimal temperature range: 0-500 deg C (0-932 deg F) - Best choice for most high-performance street applications - Included pad not recommended for track day use at all (Please Note: Street/Track and Track Only pads are available)

Features

Large six-piston, billet-aluminum calipers with high-tensile cross-bolts for maximum rigidity
Larger, wider 350x34mm or 380x34mm floating 2-piece rotor assemblies with high-density directional cooling vanes and billet aluminum hats
Rotor slot pattern specifically designed to evenly distribute heat across the rotor surface and increase initial brake response (bite) while maintaining quiet, smooth operation over a wide application range
Rotors are coated with a proprietary black, anti-contamination finish ensuring that no oils are transferred to the brake pads
Billet-aluminum caliper mounting brackets featuring stainless steel thread inserts for the radial mount bolts to ensure maximum durability
Stainless-steel braided-Teflon brake lines
Proprietary high-performance street pads included in a standard replacement shape (optional pads available)
Lighter than factory brakes, but not so light as to introduce excessive NVH (Noise, vibration, harshness), which can occur with ultra-lightweight brake kits
Extreme UV & temperature resistant European anodizing dyes for best color retention
Hand-polished, mirror-finished, stainless steel pistons which reduce the rate of heat transfer to the caliper seals and brake fluid by a factor of 10 when compared to the aluminum pistons found in many other calipers
Ultra-high temperature and pressure internal wiper seals. The internal wiper seals ensure best service life under daily street driving conditions and will also not be damaged during track day use (as is the case with the external dust boots used in many other calipers)
All stainless-steel hardware for long-term durability and corrosion resistance
Seamless CuNi fluid crossover tubes for maximum corrosion and vibration resistance
Pad pre-tensioning system designed to reduce brake noise and squeal
Maximum Temperature Recording (MTR) devices on calipers and rotors
Laser etched logos which will not be damaged by brake fluid, or solvents (as is the case with the painted logos often used on aftermarket calipers)
Designed, engineered, and manufactured in South Africa by the experts at Powerbrake

Brake Pads

High-Performance Street Pads

The included High-Performance Street Pads are specifically designed for use in high-performance street applications and one of the best high-performance street pads on the world market at the moment. This compound beds-in quickly and delivers strong brake performance over a wide temperature range. The material exhibits a strong initial bite as you engage the brake pedal followed by a slightly rising torque curve during a single brake application. This slight rise in brake torque in the mid-late stages of a brake application makes use of the additional front tire grip available after weight transfer has occurred during a typical (medium-hard) brake application. This delivers optimal stopping distances when tested on street cars running high-performance street tires. The compound features a high average friction coefficient and delivers reduced stopping distances as well as improved fade resistance when compared to most OEM and aftermarket high-performance street pads. Usage Notes: Optimal temperature range: 0-500 deg C (0-932 deg F). Best choice for most high-performance street applications. Not recommended for track day use at all.

Advanced Street / Entry-Level Track Day Pads

The optional Advanced Street / Entry-Level Track Day Pads will offer similar characteristics to our High-performance Street compound in terms of having a slightly rising torque curve during a single application. It will offer a little less initial bite as you engage the brake pedal under normal street driving conditions. This material also takes a little longer to bed in and prefers to be run at slightly higher operating temperatures in order to maintain the friction film that is put down on the disc surface during the bed-in procedure. This material can be run to higher max operating temperatures than our standard High-Performance Street compound while remaining fade-free. The additional heat range means that this compound can be used for entry-level track days. This makes this material a good choice for customers that would like to take part in occasional track days but do not want to change pads prior to these events. Usage Notes: Optimal temperature range: 0-630 deg C (0-1166 deg F). Best choice for customers that want to use one pad for high-performance street and entry-level track day use. Acceptable for entry-level track day use but pad wear will be high if used for advanced track applications.

Advanced Track Day Pads

The optional Advanced Track Day Pads are specifically aimed at advanced track day users and offers full race performance under track conditions. While it can be used to drive to and from the track, some brake squeal will be experienced during street driving. It is not recommended that this pad material be used for extended daily street use as accelerated disc wear and brake noise will be experienced during daily street driving. On track this compound will offer unmatched brake performance and fade resistance and will be a significant step up over our Advanced Street / Entry-level Track Day compound. The material remains kind to discs under track conditions and pad wear is low. It has a slightly rising torque curve and modulation remains excellent. A mechanical retention system is employed between the pad backing plate and the friction material for maximum shear resistance during high-temperature use. Advanced track day users will really appreciate the characteristics, performance and wear life that this compound offers. For advanced track day customers that also use their car as a daily driver we suggest a two-pad strategy in which you run our High-Performance Street compound for daily street use and then switch to our Advanced Track Day material for track events. Usage Notes: Optimal temperature range: 100-800 deg C (212-1472 deg F). Best choice for advanced track day use. Can be used to drive to and from track events but brake squeal and increased disc wear will be experienced if used for daily street driving.
