Honda CR-V Big Brake Kit Upgrade / TTSPORT Classic 9200
Honda's CR-V sells on the strength of its 1.5T inline-four (193kW / 243Nm) and its reputation as one of the most well-rounded compact SUVs on the road. But this particular CR-V had a problem no amount of power fixes: a soft, long-travel pedal and a braking system that struggled to hold up under repeated stops. The owner brought it in for a TTSPORT front-and-rear big brake kit swap.
The owner described long stopping distances, a soft pedal, poor heat dissipation, and inconsistent braking — classic symptoms of an OEM brake system running out of thermal and mechanical margin. The fix: a TTSPORT front four-piston / rear two-piston big brake kit, installed with 17-inch wheels.

Why It Works
The TT9200 front caliper is forged rather than cast, which gives it more rigidity for the same weight — each caliper comes in at 2.45kg, so there's no meaningful unsprung-weight penalty and no drag on acceleration. The oxidized surface treatment resists corrosion and holds up better under sustained heat. Opposed piston pairs on each side of the rotor apply clamping force more evenly, which is what makes the pedal feel linear and predictable instead of vague.
- Forged TT9200 front / TT7700 rear calipers replace the factory units with stiffer, lighter hardware
- 330mm high-carbon heat-treated rotors front and rear improve pad bite while cutting noise and vibration
- Kit fits behind the car's 17-inch wheels as installed, with no wheel change required
- TTSPORT stainless steel lines on the rear axle resist expansion under pressure, so pedal input translates more directly into clamping force
The TT7700 rear caliper is one of TTSPORT's more popular two-piston units — small enough to package easily, but built from forged aluminum for stiffness that cast rear calipers typically can't match at the same size. Its dust-boot design also cuts down on maintenance versus older-style seals.
