Opel Astra K V-Maxx Big Brake Kit 330 mm 4-piston

With the big brake kit Astra K, you equip the front axle of the Opel Astra K or Astra K Sports Tourer with a complete V-Maxx brake kit: 330 mm two-piece brake discs, 4-piston calipers made of forged aluminium, V-Maxx sport brake pads and vehicle-specific adapters.

The kit is suitable for all versions from 66 to 147 kW. Whether you take the car to a track day or drive it in a sporty way on the road: under repeated hard braking, the braking performance stays constant because the aluminium parts and the directional cooling channels in the discs dissipate heat quickly. V-Maxx Autosport is a Dutch manufacturer; the kit has a TÜV certificate according to §19.3 and is therefore approved for use on public roads.

Fitting and delivery

The kit comes with V-Maxx fitting instructions. Fit the kit according to those instructions and observe the tightening torques. The Astra K must have its original steering knuckles. Do not clean the brake kit with wheel cleaner, which attacks the aluminium, but with a mild soap. For intensive track use, V-Maxx advises removing the dust seals from the calipers.

You can choose a different caliper colour (black, blue or yellow, at extra cost), V-Maxx Steelflex steel braided brake hoses for the front axle (460 mm, set of 2, PTFE inner hose and TÜV approval), 500 ml of Ferodo brake fluid, a V-Maxx wear indicator set and an extra set of Ferodo FDSR216 DS Performance brake pads, which have no TÜV approval. The delivery time is 4 to 7 days.

Predictable braking even after the fifth hard stop in a row: that is what this V-Maxx kit brings to the Astra K.

Why choose this big brake kit Astra K?

The big brake kit Astra K combines more braking power with a brake system that gets rid of heat quickly. Aluminium conducts heat about 5 times better than steel; in this kit, the caliper, bracket and bell are made of aluminium and the discs have directional cooling channels. As a result, you keep braking consistently, even when you do so many times in a row. You receive everything you need to fit the kit, with TÜV approval and a 2-year warranty.
