Stage 3+ Carbon Ceramic Brake Kit.MQB / MQB ‘evo’ — 380mm or 355mm discs
Welcome to a global first: a Carbon Ceramic brake kit for the MQB platform. Not only is each disc close to half the weight of the small factory disc, the kit is packed with motorsport-inspired features. Astonishing stopping performance, again and again and again.

Why upgrade?
The RacingLine Stage 3+ Carbon Ceramic Monoblock Brake Kit moves braking technology to a level above anything seen before for the MQB platform cars.
We’ve been intensively testing our CCM upgrade for over a year prior to launch. The result? Simply spectacular resistance to fade, dramatic weight-savings, and long-lasting durability.
- Our 355mm / 380mm rotor construction interweaves discontinuous carbon fibre to form a 3D multi-directional matrix. Which adds up to great weight savings, performance and durability versus traditional steel brakes
- With over triple the heat capacity of conventional brakes, the repeatability of the stopping power is exceptional. It’s braking unlike any metal rotor kit can deliver
- Despite this performance capability, our Stage 3+ Carbon Kit is still perfect for daily usage, with good pedal response from cold
- Each stiff, lightweight Forged Monoblock caliper starts life as a one-piece ultra-strong forged billet, exquisitely finished with a complex 5-axis CNC machining procedure
- Despite the size of these discs, they weigh in at nearly half the mass of the (much smaller) factory steel ones. That’s a big difference to unsprung weight

WEIGHT SAVING
The 355mm / 380mm rotor construction interweaves discontinuous carbon fibre to form a 3D multi-directional matrix. Despite their size, each disc weighs just 55% of the original factory steel rotors

CCM-SPECIFIC PADS
Due to the very different frictional and thermal properties of ceramic brakes we have provided a pad compound that has been developed specifically for use with CCM discs

FULLY-FLOATING
Fully floating mounting between disc and bell allow for thermal expansion and contraction to avoid cracking or warping. The anti-rattle mounts keep it quiet

MONOBLOCK
The ‘Forged Monoblock’ single-piece construction of our 6-piston aluminium thin-profile calipers give extreme stiffness and light weight, and aid in wheel clearance packaging

VWG-SPECIFIC
As our kit is engineered exclusively for MQB-platform VWG cars, we’ve developed piston sizes perfectly matched to master cylinders and servos for beautiful progressive pedal response
LOSEWEIGHT
Saving unsprung weight is really important on a performance car. All those heavy masses on the ‘road-side’ of your springs – the wheels, tyres, suspension arms and of course brakes – make a massive difference to the car’s responses as it turns and handles bumps in the road, differences you can really feel as a driver.
Check out the weight saving for our Carbon Ceramic discs versus our 380mm steel discs. Not to mention the difference to the small, stock factory set ups. That’s a serious saving.

* Fitment of the Stage 3+ brake kit on 2.5 TFSI RS3 Sportback/Saloon or TTRS requires shims between the bearing housing/upright and caliper mounting bracket to centralise the disc between the pad surfaces – failure to do so will cause caliper and rotor damage. Please check with your dealer before fitment.
