Honda Fit/Jazz (GK5) Big Brake Kit Upgrade / TTSPORT Classic 5420

The Honda Fit (GK5) has a well-earned reputation on autocross and track days — a 131 hp naturally aspirated engine in a sub-ton chassis, with a short wheelbase that rewards hard braking into corners. The problem is what's behind the wheels: a rear drum setup that traps heat and moisture, and stock brakes that reportedly need around 40 meters to stop from 100 km/h in independent testing. This build swaps in a TTSPORT front big brake kit and converts the rear from drum to disc.

Why It Works

Honda Fit GK5 rear drum brake before the TTSPORT drum-to-disc conversion

The TT5420 is a split-body forged caliper built from high-strength aviation-grade aluminum rather than cast iron. Forging tightens the grain structure, which cuts down on flex under clamping load and reduces vibration at the pedal — the caliper is also lighter than a cast equivalent, trimming unsprung weight at each front corner.

  • Curved-slot front rotor design helps clear brake dust so pad bite stays consistent lap after lap.
  • Rear drum-to-disc conversion swaps a design that traps heat and water for a one-piece rotor with better cooling and more linear pedal response.
  • Kit was developed around the Fit's factory dimensions and fits under the car's 15-inch wheels.

FAQ

What does the TTSPORT kit include for the Honda Fit GK5?
The kit pairs a TTSPORT Slim TT5420 forged four-piston front caliper with a 295x24mm curved rotor, a rear drum-to-disc conversion using a single-piston caliper with a 280x9mm one-piece rotor, and TTSPORT stainless steel brake lines.
Will this kit fit under the stock 15-inch wheels?
Yes. This installation was completed with 15-inch wheels, and the kit was developed around the Fit's factory dimensions.
Why convert the rear drum brakes to discs?
Drum brakes drain heat and water poorly and are prone to heat fade, which the source notes as a major weak point on the GK5. Converting to a disc setup improves heat dissipation and braking consistency.
