Alcon RC6/RC4 Big Brake Kit – Front & Rear | Nissan GT-R
The Alcon RC6/RC4 Big Brake Kit is engineered specifically for the Nissan GT-R, featuring the latest CAR70 front and CAR69 rear calipers beautifully machined from forged alloy. This kit delivers industry-leading braking performance with 390mm x 35mm front discs and 380mm x 30mm rear discs, both with lightweight aluminium bells, and comes standard with Dixcel Type Z high-performance brake pads.
Both front and rear calipers feature staggered pistons to ensure even pad wear. The pistons are manufactured from a proprietary steel renowned for its exemplary thermal resistance under extreme braking conditions. Additional design features engineered to withstand the intense temperatures generated during hard braking include unique weatherproof seals and an internal fluid passageway that eliminates the need for an external bridging pipe.
The kit comes standard with Dixcel Type Z brake pads — a high-performance compound offering excellent initial bite, strong fade resistance, and broad operating temperature range suitable for both street and track use. The kit has been enhanced to deliver the same proven performance as the Alcon Superkit.
Tested extensively on a Nissan GT-R Track Edition, this kit delivers not only significantly increased stopping power but also exceptional pedal feel — a hallmark of Alcon's engineering philosophy.
