Alcon Brake Kits
Stopping when you want to - and more importantly when and where you need to - is a fundamental requirement of attaining speed. Alcon's advantage extreme brake kits have been designed to do just that.
Providing ultimate braking performance in a direct replacement package, these kits make use of the technology behind Alcon's involvement in top level motorsport, including F1, World Rally Championship, NASCAR and Japanese GT racing.
What's in the box?
The advantage extreme kit is a complete left or right hand brake package and includes all the parts you will need, including:
- Special alloy disc and bell assembly
- Monobloc 4 or 6 piston caliper
- Low noise, fade resistant pads
- Brackets and fixings
- Braided hose and fixings
- High performance brake fluid.
Please check that your wheels are compatible with the advantage extreme brake kit by obtaining a radial profile template from your dealer.
Calipers Advantage extreme calipers are gravity die cast monobloc constructions using aluminium alloy for optimum strength and weight. Other caliper benefits:
- Monobloc 4 / 6 piston design for high stiffness (firm pedal) & low weight
- Piston bore sizes are staggered to ensure even pad wear
- Pin-mounted pads provide low threshold pressure and low noise
Pads These low noise pads offer strong cold performance for start up and city driving and are specially formulated for excellent resistance to fade at elevated temperatures. Discs Advantage Extreme discs have been engineered to produce optimum bite, thermal stability and durability in an exceptionally high strength to low weight design. This has been achieved by combining a special Alcon developed iron alloy disc with an aerospace specification alloy bell. Other disc benefits:
- Unique crescent grooves on friction faces provide the bite usually associated with drilled discs without the attendant durability problems
- Directional curved cooling vanes for optimum cooling performance
- Alcon's floating disc system (as used in the majority of applications) has been designed to allow thermal expansion of the disc throughout its life while minimising the tendency to judder
No additional parts are required to fit an advantage extreme kit to your car - all brackets, fixings, braided hoses and high performance brake fluid are included.
IMPORTANT: Alcon advantage extreme brake kits need to be fitted as a matched pair of brakes.
Advantage Extreme Brake Kits benefit from our experience in top level motorsport to provide enhanced brake performance in a specially designed direct replacement package. Performance Braking Knowledge Base
