Opel Adam V-Maxx Big Brake Kit 330 mm 4-piston (PCD 4×100)

V-Maxx supplies this big brake kit Opel Adam as a complete kit for the front axle of the Adam with PCD 4×100. The kit combines 330 mm two-piece brake discs on floating aluminium bells with 4-piston calipers made of forged aluminium and comes with sport brake pads and vehicle-specific adapters.

If you use the Adam for slalom, sprints or a track day, a lot is demanded of the brakes. The V-Maxx kit provides more braking power and braking performance that stays consistent even after a series of hard braking manoeuvres. The kit comes from the Dutch manufacturer V-Maxx Autosport and, thanks to the TÜV certificate according to §19.3, may also be used on public roads.

Key benefits

• Approved for public roads thanks to the TÜV certificate according to §19.3

Fitting and delivery

Fit the kit according to the V-Maxx fitting instructions you receive with the delivery, and observe the tightening torques given in those instructions. The kit only fits cars with original steering knuckles. Wheel cleaner is not suitable for the brake kit, as it attacks the aluminium; use a mild soap. If you use the Adam a lot on the track, remove the dust seals from the calipers as V-Maxx advises.

You can extend the kit with a caliper colour of your choice (black, blue or yellow at extra cost), V-Maxx Steelflex steel braided brake hoses for the front axle (460 mm, set of 2, with 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 (these pads have no TÜV approval). Delivery time: 4 to 7 days.

Small in size, generous in braking reserve: 330 mm discs and aluminium 4-piston calipers give the Adam brakes that can handle repeated hard braking.

Why choose this big brake kit Opel Adam?

If you drive the Adam on the track, you want brakes that feel the same after every lap. This kit is made for that: the caliper, bracket and bell are made of aluminium and the discs have directional cooling channels, so heat is dissipated quickly and fade sets in much later. The big brake kit Opel Adam comes complete, works with the original brake hoses thanks to the vehicle-specific adapters and, with TÜV §19.3, is approved for use on public roads.

Frequently asked questions

Which version do I need for my Adam?

Look at the PCD. This kit (20 OP330 08) is for the Adam with PCD 4×100 and versions from 44 to 85 kW. For the Adam S with PCD 5×110, there is the V-Maxx kit 20 OP330 05, also with 330 mm discs.

Is the big brake kit Opel Adam suitable for a car with more power than standard?

Yes, definitely. An Adam with more power than standard benefits most from this kit: 330 mm discs and 4-piston calipers give more braking power and much less fade. The kW limits in the application list refer to the original factory output, and with an officially approved power upgrade the TÜV approval remains valid.

Does the kit fit behind 16 inch wheels?

No, the big brake kit Opel Adam requires wheels of at least 17 inch. Even with 17 inch or larger, check with the fitment template (WFC) whether the wheel clears the caliper; a wheel spacer is sometimes required.

Why does V-Maxx not offer a kit for the rear axle?

Because around 90% of the braking power is delivered by the front axle, V-Maxx only makes kits for the front axle.

What is the delivery time?

The delivery time is 4 to 7 days.
