Description

Seat Arosa V-Maxx Big Brake Kit 290 mm 4-piston (with ESP)

The big brake kit Arosa with ESP is the V-Maxx performance brake kit for the front axle of a Seat Arosa (6H) equipped with ESP. The kit consists of 290 mm two-piece brake discs and 4-piston calipers made of forged aluminium and is supplied ready to fit, with vehicle-specific adapters for the original rubber brake hoses.

Please note: V-Maxx has no TÜV approval for this version. The kit is therefore mainly intended for track use, such as track days, where it provides more braking torque, a firm pedal and much less fade under repeated hard braking. V-Maxx Autosport is a Dutch manufacturer and gives a 2-year warranty.

Fitting and delivery

Fit the kit according to the V-Maxx fitting instructions supplied. The kit only fits cars with original steering knuckles. Wash the brake kit with a mild soap and do not use wheel cleaner, as it attacks the aluminium. For heavy track use, V-Maxx recommends removing the dust seals from the calipers.

Available as options: V-Maxx Steelflex brake hoses 460 mm (set of 2) for the front axle with PTFE inner hose, 500 ml of Ferodo brake fluid and a V-Maxx wear indicator set. Delivery time: 4 to 7 days.

Built for the track: with 290 mm discs and forged 4-piston calipers, the Arosa with ESP keeps its braking power, session after session.

Why choose this big brake kit Arosa with ESP?

If you take an Arosa with ESP onto the track, you need a brake kit that matches that version. The big brake kit Arosa with ESP combines larger discs and more piston area with much faster heat dissipation: the caliper, bracket and bell are made of aluminium and the discs have directional cooling channels. As a result, the braking behaviour stays consistent, even after a series of hard stops. Because this version has no TÜV approval, it is mainly intended for track use.
