SuperForged Big Brake Kit Review

[UNBROKEN]

Notj

I've seen plenty of performance SUVs with big brake up front and tiny single piston rears (some even smaller than the Explorer Street Package brakes), Ranger Rovers, Audis, Acuras I've seen have big brakes up front and tiny solid rotors in the rear. Even a $250K Urus has tiny rear brakes.

Nothing wrong with a single piston floating rear caliper as long as the rotor diameter is large enough. You can bet Lamborghini put in the effort to make sure it’s right.
When I ran only the front Racing Brake upgrade with 6 piston Brembo calipers and oem Street Pack rears, there was very noticeable nose diving on panic stops. I wrote about it back then. When RB released the larger rear rotor and caliper mount to move the oem caliper outward on a larger rotor for more torque in the rear, all of that went away as the system came back into balance.

Those are actually 14.5 in rear rotors, they’re just “small” in comparison to the fronts, which are crazy huge.

No issues whatsoever. The kit has been working great, not once have experienced any type of fade or issues with hard braking. I'm not a professional driver and only drive on public roads, but tearing up the back roads when safe never had an issue. I have the ceramic pads on made for street driving, no insane dust issues or issues when wet etc. You could always switch the pads up to different compounds if you plan to be on a track.

I decided to get a set of drilled rotors for the rear and kept everything else stock. Just a cheap "for the looks" upgrade instead of paying the big bucks for the superforged rears.

That’s all very cool. I’m just a street driver like you.
did you pay a shop to have them installed? If so, how much did it run you?

Yea its like average 70-80% front, 30-20% rear when it comes to braking burden. Just a waste to go nuts on rears. Throw some nice rotors for looks on, and maybe a pad upgrade if anything.
