6-Piston Caliper Upgrade Kit | V3 Front 345mm • PQ35/PQ46

The ultimate caliper upgrade for your Audi or Volkswagen.

The NEUSPEED Version 3 Caliper Upgrade Kit is the ultimate braking solution for Audi and Volkswagen enthusiasts who demand world-class stopping power without sacrificing their existing rotor setup. Engineered specifically for VAG-group master cylinders, this 6-piston forged system provides a firm, responsive pedal feel that avoids the "sponginess" common in universal big brake kits. The Version 3 update introduces enhanced caliper scalloping for better wheel clearance and a jump to high-performance Titanium-Nitride (TiN) coated pistons for reduced friction and superior heat management under track-level stress.

Key Upgrades in Version 3

• Additional scalloping to the caliper body for improved wheel clearance
• New titanium-nitride-coated pistons with naturally ultra-low-friction properties, replacing bare, uncoated stainless steel pistons.

Features

CNC Machined & Forged Aluminum Caliper Body

Each caliper is precision CNC-machined from forged 6061-T6 aluminum, optimizing strength and reducing weight. Forging realigns the aluminum’s grain structure for unmatched rigidity—far superior to cast or billet alternatives.

Titanium-Nitride (TiN) Coated Low-Friction Pistons

Version 3 features a leap in durability and heat resistance with our new hard-coated titanium-nitride (TiN) pistons. These high-performance components reduce friction, resist corrosion, and deliver consistent feel in extreme heat—making them ideal for spirited driving or track abuse.

Internal Seals System

NEUSPEED Calipers boast a cutting-edge design with dual internal piston seals. The hydraulic seals, crafted from high-temperature-resistant composite material, exhibit remarkable resilience against fatigue from regular daily use and endure the rigors of high-temperature competition scenarios. Reinforcing the system's durability, the second seal, also composed of the same material, provides a protective barrier against external contaminants like dust and moisture. This innovative 'Internal Dust Seal' system stands as a superior alternative to the conventional external shield/boot system, ensuring unmatched durability and performance.

Calipers Matched to VW/Audi Master Cylinders

NEUSPEED, as a dedicated VW/Audi tuning company, takes precision to a new level with calipers meticulously engineered to seamlessly pair with VAG factory master cylinders. In stark contrast to other brake manufacturers, we refrain from a one-size-fits-all approach by carefully selecting and tuning our 6-piston calipers to cater specifically to each VW and Audi model. This attention to detail prevents the issues associated with mismatched caliper sizes, such as a spongy or overly sensitive pedal feel. Our commitment to precision ensures optimal pedal modulation, allowing for precise and responsive braking points—a crucial element in elevating your driving experience.

Quick Pad Change System

The NEUSPEED caliper, crafted by enthusiasts for enthusiasts, prioritizes convenience and efficiency in its design. At the forefront of our engineering considerations is the ability to swiftly and conveniently swap brake pads. Facilitating this seamless process is the removable bridge-pin and pins system, enabling users to swap pads without the need to remove the caliper entirely. With a straightforward procedure involving unbolting the top bridge, undoing the guide pins, and sliding out the pads, the entire operation takes a mere 15 minutes. Experience the ease of maintenance and customization with NEUSPEED – where every detail is designed to enhance the enthusiast experience.

Pad Wear Sensor Compatible (If Equipped)

The NEUSPEED big brake kit seamlessly integrates with the VW/Audi factory sensor kit, eliminating the need for users to splice and bridge the sensor connector to prevent error lights on the dashboard. This ensures a genuine OEM replacement experience.

Aerospace Grade Mounting Bracket

Crafted from steel metal, this component features a protective black epoxy coating designed to safeguard against corrosion and degradation.

High-Quality Hardware

Each NEUSPEED Brake Kit encompasses stainless steel braided PTFE core brake lines, accompanied by stainless steel fittings. The kit is further complemented with stainless steel bleeder valves, guide pins, connecting tube, and robust 12.9-grade mounting bolts for a comprehensive and high-performance braking solution.

Other

• For use with factory 345mm rotors or NEUSPEED 2-Piece Floating Brake Rotors.
• NEUSPEED holds no responsibility for wheel fitment and brake clearance issues. We cannot guarantee proper fitment with either factory or aftermarket wheels, including NEUSPEED RS Wheels. It is essential to thoroughly review our caliper template to confirm clearance, available here. In some cases, factory wheels may necessitate a minimum 15mm spacer for adequate caliper clearance.
