Genuine Audi RS3 Brake Ducts Pair – 8V0407811 / 8V0407812
Straight from the Audi parts catalogue, this pair of genuine brake cooling ducts is taken from the 2018 Audi RS3 8V and offers a simple, factory-quality way to channel cool air directly onto your front brakes. As an authorised retailer, we supply only the genuine left and right items, exactly as fitted to Audi’s own performance models.
Heat is the main enemy of any brake system, especially during spirited road driving or track use. When pads and discs get too hot, stopping power fades and components wear out faster. These ducts mount to the front lower wishbones and direct airflow from beneath the car onto the brake discs, helping them run cooler and recover quicker between heavy stops.
Why fit them?
- Improved brake cooling for more consistent pedal feel under hard use
- Reduced brake fade on track days and during enthusiastic driving
- Genuine OE parts – direct fit, no fabrication or cutting required
- Supplied as a matched left and right pair (8V0407811 and 8V0407812)
Fitment
These ducts are designed for the Audi MQB platform and suit a wide range of popular performance models, including:
- Audi A3, S3 and RS3 (8V)
- Volkswagen Golf Mk7 (including GTI and R)
- SEAT Leon Mk3 (including Cupra)
- Skoda Octavia Mk3 (including vRS)
Installation is straightforward. The ducts attach to the front wishbones using the supplied genuine cable ties, replicating the factory RS3 setup. If your vehicle has modified or aftermarket lower control arms, some adjustment may be required to achieve a correct fit.
Please use the vehicle lookup tool or check the Vehicle Fitment tab to confirm compatibility with your exact model and year before ordering.
