About Alcon Brakes

For over 30 years, Alcon has been at the forefront of high-performance motorsport braking. Engineered in the UK, Alcon brake systems deliver uncompromising stopping power and pedal consistency. Proven in the most demanding conditions, from sprint time attack to multi-hour endurance racing, where consistent thermal management is non-negotiable.

Mercedes-Benz CLA 45 (C117) / A45 (W176) AMG Fitment Guide

The M133 powertrain made the CLA 45 and A45 AMG two of the most potent hot hatches of their generation, and the 4MATIC drivetrain lets you carry serious speed into every braking zone. That performance comes with mass, and the factory front braking system runs out of thermal headroom quickly under sustained track use or once power is increased. These Alcon Big Brake Kits replace the OE setup with a full motorsport-derived package, shedding unsprung weight while massively increasing thermal capacity and pedal consistency.

Confirmed Fitment:

  • Mercedes-Benz CLA 45 AMG (C117) 2013-2019
  • Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG (W176) 2013-2018

Performance Tiers:

  • Street Performance (CAR97 / CAR99): Engineered for spirited daily driving. These calipers feature standard dust boots to protect against the elements and road grime. Note: CAR97 is strictly engineered for 32mm rotor configurations.
  • Street/Track Performance (CAR89 TA6 / CAR89 ENP): The ultimate hybrid setup. Highly capable track calipers upgraded with high-temperature dust boots that remain street-friendly. The ENP version features a premium Electroless Nickel Plating for superior heat radiation.
  • Track Performance (CR6380 / CAR89): Dedicated motorsport braking built for extreme conditions. These lack dust boots and are strictly for competition use to ensure maximum clamping force without fade. Note: CR6380 is exclusively compatible with 355x32mm and 380x32mm rotors.
  • Endurance Track (CR6420 / CAR89 Billet): Purpose-built for multi-hour events. Note: Endurance kits are strictly paired with high-mass 34mm and 36mm thick rotors to ensure maximum heat capacity during the longest stints.

*Important Note on Wheel Clearance: Upgrading to an Alcon Big Brake Kit will significantly alter your wheel clearance requirements. Please ensure you check the Alcon wheel clearance templates against your current wheel diameter and offset before purchasing.
