Product Description

Here is your tightened, aggressive, but professional listing — strong positioning without sounding reckless.

VTT G8X Lightweight Front Brake Kit

G80 M3 / G82 M4 / G83 / G81

Don’t confuse single-pass drag brake kits with a true performance braking system.

Non-vented 4-piston “drag only” kits are built for one thing — a single pass. They are not designed for repeated street use, highway driving, or real-world braking demands.

The VTT G8X Lightweight Front Brake Kit is different.

We drop nearly 60 lbs of unsprung weight off the front of your G8X, while running 13” vented rotors and 6-piston calipers — giving you serious stopping power and real-world usability.

This system allows you to run the front wheel and tire combination required for traction and ET reduction, while putting your factory front brakes on a serious weight reduction program.

Less weight.
Vented rotors.
6 pistons.
Real stopping power.

Important Disclaimer

Always operate within your limits.

Bedding Procedure – CRITICAL

Brake pads must be properly bedded to achieve full braking performance.

Failure to properly bed pads may result in:

• 30–50% braking effectiveness

• Pad glazing

If glazing occurs:

• Remove rotors

• Sand pads

• Re-bed properly

Proper bedding instructions are included with your kit.
