Racingline Stage 3 VAG PQ35 Monoblock Big Brake Kit – 355/380mm Rotors & 6 Pot Calipers

Racingline Stage 3 VAG PQ35 Monoblock Big Brake Kit – 355/380mm Rotors & 6-Pot Calipers

Serious stopping power for VAG PQ35-platform cars. This Stage 3 kit pairs a forged monoblock 6-piston caliper with fully floating two-piece rotors in either 355mm or 380mm. The result is stronger, more consistent braking on fast road and track use, with a firmer pedal and far better resistance to brake fade (loss of stopping power when brakes get very hot).

Why this kit makes a difference

The forged one-piece (monoblock) caliper is extremely stiff, so it flexes far less under hard braking. That gives a more direct pedal feel and more even pad pressure across the disc. The fully floating rotors allow the disc ring to expand naturally when hot, reducing the risk of judder and keeping performance consistent lap after lap. The triple-groove face helps keep pads clean and assists with bedding-in.

Despite their size, the calipers and two-piece discs are designed to keep weight down. Lower unsprung mass (the weight not supported by the suspension) helps ride quality and control over bumps, and reduces the load on your suspension components.

Key features

• Forged monoblock 6-piston calipers – strong, light and stable under heat
• Fully floating two-piece rotors with heat-treated steel rings
• 355mm option suits most 18 inch wheels, 380mm option suits most 19 inch wheels
• Triple-groove vented discs for cooling and pad bite
• Braided brake lines included, built to recognised approvals
• AP pad shape for a wide choice of pad compounds, fast-road pads supplied with wear sensor where applicable
• Available in Black, Red, Yellow or Hard Anodised finishes

Rotor sizes and wheel clearance

Important: Always check caliper-to-spoke clearance for your exact wheels. A spacer may be required depending on wheel design and offset.

Fitment

Designed for many VAG PQ35-platform vehicles, including Golf Mk5/Mk6 GTI and R, Audi S3 8P, SEAT Leon 1P (including Cupra) and Skoda Octavia Mk2 vRS.

What you get in the box

• Pair of Racingline forged monoblock 6-piston front calipers
• Pair of caliper mounting brackets with full bolt kit
• Pair of fully floating two-piece front discs in your chosen size
• Braided front brake line set
• Fast-road front brake pads (AP pad shape)

Good to know

Pad choice can fine-tune pedal feel, initial bite and dust levels to suit your use, whether that’s daily driving, fast road or track days. Tyres remain the biggest factor in real-world stopping distances, so good rubber is essential to get the most from this kit. For best results, follow a proper pad and disc bed-in process after installation.
