Alcon was founded precisely because brakes are not just brakes. As well as being the primary active safety system on any car, the best brakes inspire confidence, augment the joy of driving and reduce lap times far more effectively and affordably than by adding power. And the best brakes are what we make, alongside clutch and pedal box systems for some of the most demanding and discerning clients on earth.

Track performance, on the road.

We use our extensive knowledge of specialist and performance braking solutions in all of our applications, including aftermarket brake kits. At Alcon, we can transform the braking ability of a wide range of cars and in all environments from every day driving to high intensity track work. All our braking systems are tested far beyond anything even the most demanding customer will be able to subject them to. And reducing stopping distances is just the start.

As racers and road car enthusiasts ourselves, we are no less interested in the feel that the brakes provide. We also know that our brakes must work from the first application in a sub-zero climate, to the last corner of a lap record run. They must be lightweight, but also exceptionally durable. They should be quiet but resistant to fade in even the most extreme circumstances.

Alcon’s brake kits are specifically engineered to give you exceptional braking performance and are the pinnacle of aftermarket brake kits. Whether you choose an Advantage Extreme brake kit or a range-topping RC4/RC6 kit, you can be sure that in every area that matters, your Alcon brakes will excel.

RC4 & RC6 - Forged Calipers Optimised for Vehicles with Large OEM Brake Setups

This new Alcon Big Brake Kit features the latest CAR69 and CAR70 calipers which are beautifully machined from forged alloy and have been optimized for use with vehicles already fitted with large OEM brake packages including the Nissan GT-R, BMW E90 M3, BMW F80 and BMW 1M. Staggered pistons are used in order to ensure even pad wear, the pistons are also made from a proprietary steel, a material known for having exemplary thermal resistance when utilised in braking applications.

CAR70:

• 6-Piston Forged Caliper Front Only
• 2 piece forged aluminium design
• High temperature seal material as used in highest levels of motorsport
• High friction pads increase stopping power
  
• Steel staggered pistons in order to ensure even pad wear
  Stainless steel pistons as standard for improved resistance to thermal conductivity
  Pin mounted pads for quicker and easier pad change
• Fits many 18” and larger wheels
  

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.

All Alcon Discs Feature:

• 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.

Larger brake kits may require larger wheels and/or wheel spacers for fitment. A fitment diagram can be provided by request. Please email us your exact vehicle details and we will reply with a diagram you can print and test fit on your vehicle.

• Rear brakes kit for vehicles with drum parking brake are compatible with OEM hand brake assembly but are recommended for off-road use only. The 2-piece rotors are assembled with an alumnium hat which will wear out with regular use.
  
• Rear brake kits for vehicles with mechanical caliper parking brakes (eg. Honda Civic EG/EK) will require a hydraulic park brake assembly (sold separately).
  
• Rear brake kits for vehicles with electronic caliper parking brakes (VW Golf/Audi) will require either a hydraulic park brake assembly or secondary caliper (both sold separately).
