Mercedes GLA X156 V-Maxx Big Brake Kit 330 mm 4-piston

With the big brake kit GLA from V-Maxx, you equip the front axle of the Mercedes GLA-Class X156 with 330 mm two-piece brake discs and 4-piston calipers made of forged aluminium. The kit fits all versions from 66 to 160 kW, except the AMG models, and is supplied complete.

A compact SUV like the GLA asks a lot of its brakes, especially if you put them under heavy load in quick succession. The big brake kit GLA dissipates heat much faster than the original brakes, so you keep braking consistently and suffer less from fade. V-Maxx Autosport is a Dutch manufacturer and the kit has a TÜV certificate according to §19.3, so it is approved for use on public roads.

Fitting and delivery

Fit the kit according to the V-Maxx fitting instructions. It only fits cars with original steering knuckles. Clean the brake kit with mild soap and never with wheel cleaner, as it attacks the aluminium. For heavy track use, V-Maxx advises removing the dust seals from the calipers.

With the big brake kit GLA, you can choose from a different caliper colour (black, blue or yellow at extra cost), V-Maxx Steelflex steel braided brake hoses for the front axle with PTFE inner hose and TÜV approval, Ferodo Super Formula brake fluid 500 ml, a V-Maxx wear indicator set and an extra set of Ferodo FDSR216 DS Performance brake pads; the latter do not have TÜV approval. Delivery time: 4 to 7 days.

An SUV brakes best with something in reserve, and that is exactly the reserve this V-Maxx kit gives your GLA, drive after drive and session after session.

Why choose this big brake kit GLA?

Because this big brake kit GLA solves the problem of hot brakes. Aluminium conducts heat about 5 times better than steel, and in this kit the caliper, bracket and bell are made of aluminium. The directional cooling channels in the discs draw the heat outwards, so the kit cools down much faster. As a result, you keep braking consistently, even under repeated hard braking. You are buying a complete kit with TÜV approval and a 2-year warranty from a Dutch manufacturer.
