Chery Arrizo 8 Big Brake Kit Upgrade / TTSPORT Slim SL6

Chery's Arrizo 8 doesn't drive like the Chery sedans people remember. Built on Chery's new platform with 1.6T or 2.0T "Kunpeng" power and chassis tuning aimed squarely at the driver, it's become a favorite in the modding scene — right up until the owner bolts on bigger wheels and finds out the factory brakes weren't built for the part. This case looks at one Arrizo 8 that swapped in a TTSPORT SL6 six-piston front big brake kit to fix that gap.

The Arrizo 8's body dimensions, track width, and suspension geometry leave real room for aftermarket work — wheels, coilovers, and brakes all bolt in without a chain reaction of other changes. That's a big part of why it's showing up more often with a performance-focused stance.

Built to Be Modified — But the Brakes Fall Short

Once bigger wheels go on, two problems show up fast. First, the visual mismatch: an 18- or 19-inch wheel makes a single-piston or small factory caliper look lost inside all that open space. Second, and more important, is what happens under braking — noticeable nose dive during hard stops or repeated braking, with a soft, unconvincing initial pedal that gets worse under spirited driving or at higher speeds.

Once the factory caliper is dwarfed by the wheel, it's not just a look — it's a sign the brake system was sized for a much smaller wheel-and-tire package than what's actually on the car now.

Vehicle & Kit Specs

This build kept things focused on the front axle, where the factory caliper was doing the least work for the wheel size involved.

Below is the full official spec sheet for the TTSPORT SL6 caliper used on this build.

Every part in the kit — bracket, pads, lines, hardware — is matched to the Arrizo 8's front hub and knuckle, so it's a direct bolt-on rather than a fabrication project.

Why the SL6 Works

• Fits the factory 18-inch wheel directly, with generous ET tolerance and no spacers required — even with aftermarket wheels.
• Six pistons clamp the pad more evenly than a single-piston setup, so braking is more linear — a solid initial bite and a stable pedal through repeated stops.
• Owners report noticeably less nose dive under braking — the car settles into stops instead of pitching forward.
• The forged caliper fills the wheel's open spokes, which cleans up the look as much as the feel.

With the SL6's relaxed clearance requirements, there's no hunting for special offsets or spacer stacks — the caliper simply fits behind the wheel that's already on the car.
