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

The big brake kit Astra H is a complete V-Maxx brake kit for the front axle of the Opel Astra H with PCD 5×110. You get 4-piston calipers made of forged aluminium, 330 mm two-piece, grooved brake discs on floating aluminium bells, V-Maxx sport brake pads and vehicle-specific adapters.

V-Maxx has approved the kit for the Astra H Saloon, the Astra H, the Estate, the Twintop and the GTC, and for the OPC, in each case with original rear disc brakes. If you use the Astra H intensively on the track or at a track day, you notice the difference above all after a few laps: the braking performance stays constant because the aluminium parts dissipate heat quickly. The Dutch manufacturer V-Maxx Autosport supplies the kit with a TÜV certificate according to §19.3.

Fitting and delivery

The V-Maxx fitting instructions are included with the kit; fit it according to those instructions and the tightening torques stated in them. Your Astra H must still have its original steering knuckles. Never clean the brake kit with wheel cleaner, as it attacks the aluminium; use a mild soap instead. For heavy track work, V-Maxx recommends removing the dust seals from the calipers.

Available as an option: 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), Ferodo brake fluid (500 ml), a V-Maxx wear indicator set and an extra set of Ferodo FDSR216 DS Performance brake pads; these have no TÜV approval. The delivery time is 4 to 7 days.

More braking power on the first lap and constant braking performance until the last: that is what this V-Maxx kit gives the Astra H.

Why choose this big brake kit Astra H?

A brake system must not only be able to brake hard, but also keep doing so. In this kit, the caliper, bracket and bell are made of aluminium, and the discs have directional cooling channels. As a result, the kit cools down much faster and the braking performance stays stable under repeated hard braking. The big brake kit Astra H is ready to fit, connects to the original brake hoses with the adapters and has TÜV §19.3 for public roads.

Frequently asked questions

Does the kit fit my Astra H GTC?

Yes. The Astra H GTC (A-H/C) from 01-2004 to 07-2011 up to 177 kW is in the application list, provided the car has PCD 5×110 and original rear disc brakes.

My Astra H has rear drum brakes. Can I use the kit?

No, the big brake kit Astra H is only approved for versions with original rear disc brakes.

Will I hear the brake pads click?

Sometimes, when you switch between driving forwards and reversing. That is normal: V-Maxx deliberately gives the pads 1 to 1.5 mm of play so they do not seize at high temperatures.

Does V-Maxx also supply a kit for the rear axle?

No, only for the front axle. Around 90% of the braking power comes from there.
