Racingline Stage 2 ‘EVO’ Monoblock Performance Brake Kit – Polo (6R/6C), Audi S1 (8X), Ibiza (6J)
The Racingline Stage 2 ‘EVO’ Monoblock Performance Brake Kit is a serious braking upgrade developed for fast road use and the occasional track day. With larger 4-piston monoblock calipers, bigger discs and motorsport-derived pads, it gives small chassis VW Group cars the stopping power they really deserve, without the price tag of a full motorsport setup.
If you have added power to your Polo GTI, Audi S1 or Ibiza Cupra, the standard brakes can quickly feel out of their depth. This kit transforms the pedal feel, resistance to fade (loss of braking power when components get too hot) and overall confidence under heavy braking.
Why Choose the ‘EVO’ Brake Kit?
The headline feature is the lightweight monoblock caliper. “Monoblock” simply means the caliper is machined from a single piece of aluminium rather than bolted together from two halves. This makes it significantly stiffer and lighter, which translates directly into better pedal feel and quicker brake response.
The complete caliper, pad and bracket assembly weighs just 4.4kg per side, compared to 8.6kg for the factory Golf 7R kit. That is a major reduction in unsprung weight (the weight not supported by the suspension), which also benefits ride quality, steering response and acceleration.
- 4-piston monoblock calipers machined from a single billet for maximum stiffness
- 330mm x 30mm triple-groove discs for greater heat capacity and reduced fade
- Ferrari F40-sized brake pads – a common motorsport pad size, so replacements are widely available from any brand
- Braided steel brake lines for a firmer, more consistent pedal
- Progressive pedal feel developed specifically for VW Group cars through extensive piston-size testing
