Unprecedented and a company first, we are proud to offer our own big brake for the Hyundai i30N exclusive to Intima Brakes.
A 2018 Hyundai i30N has been a worthy member of our fleet for several years which in that time has seen non-stop punishment on the track. Through our pursuit for faster laptimes, we have pushed the OEM braking system to the limits and fully understand its capabilities and shortcomings.
Whilst adequate for street and light track duties in an unmodified i30N, the OEM brake system suffers from overheating, uneven pad wear and average braking performance on track.
To overcome these deficiencies, our brake kit features:

A one piece forged monoblock caliper, the centerpiece of our brake kit provides superior strength and weight savings. The hollow top section of the caliper provides additional cooling and additional structural strength. Not to be confused with outdated 2 piece calipers found in other brands, this caliper is state of the art.

6 pistons per caliper provide exceptional modulation and increased stopping force, working well with the OEM Hyundai brake master cylinder.
Dust covers (boots) come standard which complies with the ADR for legal street use.

The i30N is a no lightweight and with a heavy front end, puts the majority of braking demands through the front braking system resulting in excessive heat.
Dissipating heat quickly is paramount which is why 2 piece rotors come standard featuring a strong lightweight T6061 centre hat and high carbon curved vane discs.
With fixed and floating configuration options available, which is best suited for you?
Fixed rotors will cover every street and track requirement however the upgraded floating rotors will take track performance and durability one step further. By utilising bobbins to affix the centre hat and disc together, this allows for a small degree of thermal expansion to minimise any disc deformation under extreme temperatures. If you are serious about track work, floating rotors are the choice.

Despite the larger 356mm diameter, 32mm thick and added hardware compared to the OEM Pre-facelift 345x30mm 1 piece disc, the 2 piece disc manages to weigh in at just below 10kgs.

A slotted disc surface comes standard with a non aggressive design providing a good balance between bite, modulation and pad wear.

Bigger is better? This is definitely the case for pad sizes.
Utilising a common AP Racing CP5070D51 shape (top lug removed), the friction surface area has been increased by 15% over the OEM shape.
With a huge aftermarket choice for this pad shape, you’re not limited to just our Intima pad range.

The fixed rotor configuration includes the Intima SR, our high performance and light track compound.
The floating rotor configuration includes the Intima RR, our streetable high performance track compound proven in our i30N and leading time attack cars.

For a brake kit consisting of larger components, you’d expect it to tip the scales more than OEM – our brake kit sheds a whopping 4.35kg per side compared to OEM.
There are even more weight savings when compared to the Facelift i30N, Sedan and Kona N models with the larger 13kg 360mm disc.
Huge savings in unsprung weight directly relate to improved performance and handling of your N.

Performance choices aside, the next difficult choice is – what colour?
Standard colours are Red, Yellow, Purple and Black (not pictured).
For something completely unique, Polished finish upgrades are also available such as Silver, Gold and Titanium.

 

With the included carbon steel fitting brackets and other required fittings, this is a straight forward bolt on kit.
The OEM brake lines do a good job from factory and are to be reused otherwise aftermarket brake lines are also compatible.
There will be minor trimming (or complete removal) of the brake dust shield required due to the sheer size of the 6 piston caliper, the only “modification” required.
This is a DIY kit however we do recommend a professional workshop to ensure correct installation and bleeding of the brake system.

The 356x32mm 6 piston brake kit is designed for aftermarket 18″ wheels and larger and will usually clear wheels with 8.5″+ diameter with +45 or lower offset – unfortunately the factory wheels will not clear.
Every wheel is different with different spoke designs and barrel sizes so best to get our fitment template to check.

Last and most importantly, the price.
The front 356x32mm 6 piston brake kit with 2 piece fixed rotors is $3590 and is available here.
The front 356x32mm 6 piston brake kit with 2 piece floating rotors is $3890 and is available here.

The big brake kit has been under development for the last 2 years with many revisions and thorough testing to get it 100% and to ensure the performance is truly on another level.
The Intima 2018 Hyundai i30N has been running this kit for the last 12 months and the increased braking performance has contributed to achieving the quick times around the nation’s circuits.
With easy power upgrades now available for the N models pushing way above stock levels, the want for a big brake kit has now become a necessity.

Already making an appearance in other N time attack cars, the Intima brake kits are real world proven performance with aesthetics at a realistic price – the true braking upgrade for performance N cars.

Kona N and i30N Facelift fitment now confirmed! i30N Sedan has also now been developed as of October 2024!
