Modification case: Audi A6 Travel Edition rear wheel upgrade BELFE-EPB caliper

     People's car preferences in different places often reflects the local residents' living habits and spiritual world, the United States is mostly plain, roads are flat and straight, plus Americans like to eat and drink, they are tall and strong, so the most popular cars there are large pickups and SUVs with large displacement; Chinese people also yearn for the American people’s middle class life: big car, big house, big lawn, therefore SUV gained great popularity these years in China. But for Europeans, SUV is not so popular, the roads in Europe are narrow and crooked, large land but sparsely populated, so the space requirements for the trunk is higher than the backseat space, the demand for handling is stronger than the ground clearance. As a result, station wagon has become one of the most popular vehicles in Europe.

      So, the domestic customers are still relatively rare to buy a station wagon. Station wagons are very easy to understand actually, that is, to add a lid at the rear part of the car on the basis of a three-compartment car, which is on an even height with car roof, so there is a huge trunk space similar to the SUV, but the price is much higher than the domestic mass production automobiles. But it's not without a reason that the price is higher. For the car owners who emphasize on handling, because the chassis and body height are still at the level of a three-compartment car, the station wagon is better at handling than the SUV which has higher body height and centre of gravity. It can be said that the station wagon can well balance the two demands for space and handling.

      In terms of brake modifications, this Audi A6 station wagon chose the stable Brembo GT front six and rear four brake kit. Considering that the rear wheel has original electronic hand brake, BELFE-EPB electronic hand brake calipers were added to the rear on the basis of Brembo GT four pistons caliper.
