Audi Q2 V-Maxx Big Brake Kit 355 mm 6-piston

The big brake kit Q2 355 mm from V-Maxx is a complete performance brake kit for the front axle of the Audi Q2, with 355 mm two-piece brake discs and 6-piston calipers made of forged aluminium. The kit is suitable for all Q2 versions from 85 to 221 kW with aluminium knuckle.

A compact SUV like the Q2 asks a lot of its brakes when braking from high speed or on a long descent. This V-Maxx kit gives more braking torque and dissipates the heat quickly via the aluminium caliper, bracket and bell. As a result, the braking power stays consistent, even when you brake hard several times in a row.

V-Maxx Autosport is a Dutch manufacturer and gives a 2-year warranty. The kit has a TÜV certificate according to §19.3 and is approved for use on public roads.

Fitting and delivery

Fit the kit according to the V-Maxx fitting instructions supplied and observe the tightening torques from those instructions. The kit is only intended for cars with original steering knuckles, on the Q2 the aluminium knuckle with Ø55 mm clamp. Clean the kit with a mild soap, as wheel cleaner attacks the aluminium. For heavy track use, V-Maxx recommends removing the dust seals from the calipers.

Optional: V-Maxx Steelflex steel braided brake hoses for the front axle (620 mm, set of 2) with PTFE inner hose and TÜV approval, Ferodo brake fluid (500 ml) and a V-Maxx wear indicator set. Delivery time: 4 to 7 days.

355 mm discs and forged 6-piston calipers give the Audi Q2 a braking system that stays consistent, even after a series of hard stops.

Why choose this big brake kit Q2 355 mm?

For the Q2, V-Maxx has a 355 and a 365 mm kit. This 355 mm version already fits behind 18 inch wheels, giving you more choice of wheels, and has the same 6-piston calipers as the larger kit. You get a complete, TÜV approved kit with sport brake pads and adapters that connect to the original brake hoses. Thanks to the aluminium parts and the cooling channels in the discs, the braking power stays consistent, even under repeated hard braking.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the 355 mm and the 365 mm kit for the Q2?

The big brake kit Q2 355 mm (20 AU355 02) fits wheels from 18 inch, while the 365 mm kit (20 AU365 02) requires at least 19 inch and gives more braking torque thanks to the larger disc. Both kits have forged 6-piston calipers and the same application.

Does the kit fit behind my wheels?

You need wheels of at least 18 inch. Check with the fitment template (WFC) whether the caliper has enough clearance; a wheel spacer is sometimes required.

Is the big brake kit Q2 355 mm suitable for a car with more power than standard?

Yes, definitely. An Audi Q2 with more power than standard benefits most from this kit: 355 mm discs and 6-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.
