ECS 18Z 6-Piston Performance Brake Caliper - Pair

Originally 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.

Unfortunately, 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.

Upgrade 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.
