Which cars does the APR Big Brake Kit for 8Y RS3 fit?

The APR Big Brake Kit for 8Y RS3 fits the 2022 and later Audi RS3 with the 2.5 TFSI. The earlier 8V RS3 from 2017 to 2020 uses a separate APR kit, so check your model year before ordering. We can confirm it from your VIN.

Will my wheels clear the APR 8Y RS3 big brake kit?

The kit uses 370 mm discs and 6-piston calipers, so wheel clearance must be checked. APR publishes a wheel fitment template for this purpose. Print it at full scale and test it against your wheels before ordering, or contact us with your wheel details.

Does the APR 8Y RS3 brake kit work with ABS?

Yes. APR tailors each kit to the vehicle, keeping the correct brake bias so it works with the ABS and stability systems. That integration matters most in emergency braking, where a kit with the wrong bias can upset the car.

What pads come with the APR 8Y RS3 BBK?

The kit arrives with high-performance street pads fitted, in a standard replacement size, so replacements are easy to source. For track use, APR offers Advanced Track Day pads for the same calipers, which suit circuit work but squeal and wear discs faster on the street.

What do the temperature markings on the APR discs show?

The discs carry Maximum Temperature Recording markings that change color with the peak temperature reached. Reading them after a drive or session shows how hard the brakes worked, which helps when choosing the right pads and brake fluid for your use.

Description

APR 6-Piston Front Big Brake Kit for 8Y RS3, Red

The APR 6-Piston Front Big Brake Kit for 8Y RS3 swaps the factory front brakes for billet 6-piston calipers and 370 x 34 mm two-piece discs, finished here in red. It is built for the 2022 and later 8Y RS3. APR tailors each kit to the car, so brake bias stays correct and the system works with the ABS and stability control, which matters most in an emergency stop. It is designed to brake harder, last longer and stay consistent, from daily driving to track days.

Calipers and Discs

The next-generation billet calipers save weight and use stainless steel pistons, mounted on billet brackets. The semi-floating two-piece discs carry 72 curved directional cooling vanes, and Maximum Temperature Recording markings show how hot the brakes ran, which helps when choosing pads and fluid. Braided stainless lines and all install hardware come in the kit.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
