A Brembo GT-R big brake system built for the Audi A3 (8P), 2006 to 2013, front axle. The discs are 365x29mm 2-piece.
GT|R calipers are billet machined and hard anodised, with racing style piston radiators and recessed dust seals. The Brembo logo is engraved and filled red, as on Brembo’s competition calipers. This is the top of the GT range.
Four piston caliper, used on front and rear axles depending on the application.
Disc face: cross-drilled. Type 3 slots are the pattern Brembo uses in professional motorsport. They give a strong initial bite and keep the pad face clean as it beds in.
What is in the kit: 4 piston aluminium calipers, 365mm 2-piece discs with bells, Brembo pads, caliper mounting brackets, braided brake lines and the fitting hardware. Contents vary slightly by application, so check the part number against the list below.
Part numbers
| Disc face | Base part | Full part number by finish |
|---|---|---|
| Cross-drilled | 1P18505A | 1P18505AR |
The last character sets the caliper finish or the line. 1 is black, 2 red, 3 silver, 4 gold, 5 yellow, 6 white, 7 fluorescent yellow. S is a GT-S caliper and R is a GT-R caliper.
Wheel clearance is the thing to check first. A 365mm disc with this caliper needs a specific wheel offset and spoke shape, and the requirement for a GT-R caliper is different from the GT version. Send us your wheel size, offset and make and we will read the clearance drawing against it before anything is ordered.

Brake work is safety critical. Brembo asks that these systems are installed by a qualified technician, and the kit must be checked, bled and road tested to the instructions supplied with it before the car is driven.
