01
Forged aerospace-grade 6-pot caliper
Delivers an exceptionally linear pedal feel and massive clamping force. An advanced high-dissipation structure suppresses brake fade under sustained heavy braking.
CTE RACING · VW ID. Buzz Fitment
Uncompromised braking power for a 2.4-ton EV.
A forged 6-piston monoblock caliper and 380mm two-piece floating disc, engineered specifically for the ID. Buzz's MEB platform — direct bolt-on, zero modification, fits inside the stock 19-inch wheel.
At a glance
Product: CTE RACING 6-piston forged caliper & 380mm two-piece floating disc front brake upgrade kit for the Volkswagen ID. Buzz (MEB platform).
Why it exists: The ID. Buzz weighs over 2.4 tons, which exceeds what the stock brake hardware was designed to manage under repeated heavy or downhill braking.
Fitment: 100% direct bolt-on with model-specific adapters and center bells — no cutting of the factory steering knuckle or dust shield, and no wheel spacers needed under the factory 19-inch Aero wheel.
Core Product Features
Built for the MEB platform, not adapted to it.
02
380mm two-piece drilled floating disc
Reduces unsprung weight versus a stock one-piece disc, sharpening handling response. Cross-drilling clears dust and heat fast for consistent thermal efficiency.
03
100% direct bolt-on integration
Model-specific caliper adapters and center bells engineered for the MEB platform. No modification to the factory steering knuckle or dust shield.
04
Perfect fit under the factory 19" wheel
Verified through real-vehicle fitment testing to sit flush inside the stock 19-inch Aero alloy wheel — a full, aggressive stance with no wheel spacers required.

Frequently Asked
Fitment & installation questions.
Does this kit fit inside the ID. Buzz's stock 19-inch wheels?
Yes. The kit has been verified through real-vehicle fitment testing to sit flush inside the factory 19-inch Aero alloy wheel, with no wheel spacers required.
Is any cutting or modification needed to install it?
No. The kit is 100% direct bolt-on, using model-specific caliper adapters and center bells engineered for the MEB platform — no modification to the factory steering knuckle or dust shield.
How many pistons does the caliper have, and what size is the disc?
A forged aluminum 6-piston monoblock caliper paired with a 380mm two-piece drilled floating disc.
Why does an EV like the ID. Buzz need a brake upgrade?
EVs like the ID. Buzz weigh over 2.4 tons, placing far greater demand on the braking system during repeated heavy braking or extended downhill driving than the stock hardware was designed for.
Does the two-piece floating disc actually reduce unsprung weight?
Yes. The two-piece design is lighter than a stock one-piece disc, which lowers unsprung weight and improves suspension responsiveness.
