class=\"esp-lead\"\u003eOriginally designed for the Porsche 955 and 957 Cayenne, the Brembo 18Z brake caliper has earned a reputation as one of the most capable OE big brake options available. Its rugged cast-aluminum monoblock construction, combined with six oversized pistons, delivers exceptional clamping force and heat management. What's more, its compact and lightweight nature makes it a perfect candidate for both OE and track-focused builds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnfortunately, finding clean, usable sets has grown increasingly difficult, with new OEM replacements commanding premium prices and used units often requiring extensive refurbishment. To solve this, we've developed a cost-effective, high-quality alternative that mirrors the original 18Z design. The result is a performance brake caliper that not only matches the OEM unit in strength and reliability, but also provides you with an accessible big brake kit solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUpgrade your braking system with ECS 18Z Performance Calipers—the perfect foundation for a Volkswagen or Audi big brake kit that delivers OEM-quality construction, modern performance, and unbeatable value.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/assets.ecstuning.com\/product_library\/2100527_x800.jpg\" alt=\"ECS 18Z 6-Piston Performance Brake Caliper - Pair\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"esp-sec\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"esp-feat\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBased on the legendary Brembo 18Z brake caliper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDurable cast-aluminum monoblock design provides strength, rigidity, and reduced unsprung weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge opposed pistons deliver even pad pressure, improved bite, and excellent thermal management\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits directly with ECS Stage 5 Big Brake Kits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplaces costly new Genuine Porsche 955\/957 calipers and eliminates the hardship of finding repairable used sets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"esp-sec\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"esp-feat\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaliper Mounting Style: Axial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaliper Type: Fixed\/Monoblock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaliper Casting Material: Aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaliper Finish: Gloss Red Powdercoat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePiston Quantity: 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePiston Diameter: 30\/34\/38mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePiston Material: Aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"esp-sec\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Development\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur 18Z 6-Piston Performance Brake Calipers were designed, engineered, tested, and quality inspected by our Research and Development team in our Wadsworth, Ohio, facility.
