Built for Bold. This Q50S is All About Balance and Power
This week in the shop, we had a clean 2020 INFINITI Q50S come through. It already had the looks and the stance, but it was missing one key upgrade. Brakes that match the energy. Our team at R1 Concepts installed a full front and rear Big Brake Kit (BBK) that delivers both performance and presence.
The BBK Setup: 356mm of Pure Performance
This Infiniti is all function and style. Here’s what went on:
- Front: 356mm 6-piston Big Brake Kit
- Rear: 356mm 4-piston Big Brake Kit
- Caliper Color: Gloss Red to match the bold accents on the car
With the bright white body and deep red calipers, the combo hits hard visually and backs it up with serious stopping power.
Pro Tip: A 6-piston and 4-piston combo gives you a balanced feel with stronger clamping force and better pedal control. It’s a favorite for street builds that want that aggressive look with track-level performance.
Why Brake Upgrades Matter
Upgrading your brake system isn’t just about aesthetics. It’s about driving with confidence and control. Here’s what you get when you go with a BBK:
- Better heat dissipation for cooler performance
- More consistent braking under pressure
- Stronger bite with less pedal fade
- Faster, more controlled stopping in all conditions
For performance-focused builds like this Q50S, stock brakes just aren’t enough. A BBK completes the look and upgrades your driving experience.
