Big Brake Kit
Big Brake Kits are a worthwhile investment for anyone serious about improving your K5's braking performance. Whether you're looking to enhance your daily driving experience or push your K5 to its limits on the track, a BBK offers the superior braking performance, durability, and aesthetics to meet your needs.
Big Brake Kits typically include larger and more robust components compared to the stock braking systems.
A typical BBK includes:
- Larger Brake Rotors: Bigger rotors provide more surface area for the brake pads to grip, which translates to better heat dissipation and stopping power.
- High-Performance Brake Pads: These pads are designed to withstand higher temperatures and provide better friction, resulting in improved braking performance.
- Calipers: Often larger and with more pistons than stock calipers, these provide more clamping force and even pressure distribution on the brake pads.
- Brake Lines: High-quality stainless steel brake lines replace the stock rubber lines, offering better resistance to expansion under pressure, which improves braking response and consistency.
- Mounting Brackets and Hardware: These are necessary to install the larger components and ensure everything fits and functions correctly.
