Description

Audi TT 8S V-Maxx Big Brake Kit 330 mm 4-piston (aluminium knuckle)

With this big brake kit TT 8S alu knuckle (20 AU330 12), the Audi TT 8S with aluminium steering knuckle gets a complete V-Maxx brake kit for the front axle: 330 mm two-piece brake discs and 4-piston calipers made of forged aluminium. The kit fits the TT Coupé and TT Roadster from 132 to 169 kW, including Quattro.

V-Maxx makes two 330 mm kits for the TT 8S, because the car was supplied with either a steel or an aluminium steering knuckle. This version is for the aluminium knuckle with Ø55 mm shock absorber clamp. You get more braking torque and a brake system that sheds its heat quickly, so the braking power stays consistent at track days and during spirited drives.

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

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

Options: 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), a V-Maxx wear indicator set, calipers in black, blue or yellow at extra cost and an extra set of Ferodo FDSR216 DS Performance brake pads without TÜV approval. Delivery time: 4 to 7 days.

Aluminium knuckle, aluminium calipers: this V-Maxx kit turns the TT 8S into a car that keeps braking with the same force on the road and on the track.

Why choose this big brake kit TT 8S alu knuckle?

With this kit, you choose the version that V-Maxx makes for the aluminium steering knuckle of the TT 8S. The larger discs and forged 4-piston calipers give more braking torque, and the aluminium caliper, bracket and bell ensure that the kit cools down quickly after hard braking. The kit is complete, connects to the original brake hoses with adapters and has a TÜV certificate. This way, you use the same kit on public roads and on the track.

Frequently asked questions

Which version do I need for my TT 8S?

Look at the steering knuckle and the shock absorber clamp. The big brake kit TT 8S alu knuckle (20 AU330 12) is for an aluminium knuckle with a Ø55 mm clamp. For a steel knuckle with a Ø50 mm clamp, there is the 20 AU330 14.

Is the big brake kit TT 8S alu knuckle suitable for a car with more power than standard?

Yes, definitely. An Audi TT 8S 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 my wheels?

You need wheels of at least 17 inch. Check with the fitment template (WFC) whether the caliper has enough clearance; a wheel spacer is sometimes required.
