Audi RS3 8V SHW / Brembo Complete Brake Kit

Complete four-corner brake refresh for the 2017-2020 Audi RS3 with factory steel brakes. SHW drilled/dimpled lightweight front rotors, SHW smooth rear rotors, and Brembo Prime standard pads.

Fitment First - Read Before Ordering

Fits 2017-2020 Audi RS3 (8V) 2.5T models equipped with the factory steel brake package.

Chassis 8V RS3
Front rotor 370 x 34mm
Rear rotor 310 x 22mm
Front brake type Factory steel rotor / Brembo caliper package
Does not fit: RS3 models equipped with factory carbon-ceramic front brakes, or 2022+ 8Y RS3 models.
Fitment note: If the car has had a prior brake conversion, verify the existing front rotor is 370 x 34mm before ordering.
What's Included
  • 2x SHW Performance AFX41156 drilled/dimpled lightweight front rotors
  • 2x SHW Performance VRX31802 smooth monobloc rear rotors
  • 1x Brembo Prime P85152 front low-metallic pad set

Rear pads Brembo Prime P85162 Standard low-metallic / OE-equivalent 1 set
Why This Setup

The front axle is where this package stands apart. SHW's AFX41156 retains the RS3's 370mm factory-size architecture while using a lightweight drilled/dimpled pin-drive design. The rear stays simple and durable with SHW's smooth 310mm monobloc rotor, paired with Brembo Prime low-metallic pads front and rear for strong factory-style response.

  • Direct replacement sizing for the factory steel-brake 8V RS3
  • Lightweight SHW front rotor design with drilled/dimpled friction rings
  • Smooth SHW rear rotors for OEM-style rear braking behavior
  • Brembo Prime standard pads for factory-like bite and pedal feel
Bill's Take

This is the 8V RS3 setup I would use when you want to keep the factory 370mm brake package but replace the expensive front rotors with a proper SHW performance option. The drilled/dimpled fronts are the centerpiece, while the smooth rears and Brembo Prime pads keep the rest of the package straightforward and street-friendly.

Shipping and Installation

This is a heavy brake kit and may ship in multiple boxes. Approximate combined packaged component weight is 93 lb. Professional installation and proper pad/rotor bedding are recommended. Confirm the vehicle is equipped with factory steel front brakes before opening or installing components.
