Havel H2 Upgraded with TTSPORT Classic 8611S Big Brake Kit
The Haval H2 earned a reputation as a stylish, practical, and high-value small SUV. However, owners quickly realized that while the 1.5L turbo engine offers decent torque, the factory braking system leaves much to be desired. The stock setup often suffers from a vague, "spongy" pedal feel that lacks initial bite.
Beyond performance, there is an aesthetic issue. The H2 comes with attractive 18-inch alloy wheels, but the tiny, factory single-piston floating calipers look completely lost behind the spokes. It creates a visual disconnect that ruins the vehicle's tough stance.
The TTSPORT 8611S 6-Piston Big Brake Kit is the engineering answer to both problems. It provides the mechanical leverage to stop confidently and the physical size to fill out the wheel barrel for a premium look.
The "OEM+" Bolt-On Upgrade
We engineered this kit to be a direct fit. It isn't a universal collection of parts; it is a matched system designed to work with the Haval's master cylinder while fitting comfortably inside the standard 18-inch wheel diameter.
- Vehicle Platform: Haval H2
- Caliper: TTSPORT Classic Series 8611S (6-Piston Forged Aluminum)
- Rotor: 355mm (14.0") High-Carbon 2-Piece Slotted Rotors
- The Kit: Includes 7075-T6 aluminum mounting brackets, high-performance street pads, and stainless steel braided lines.
Why the 8611S? The Engineering Behind the Look
The 8611S is one of our most popular street-performance calipers. It moves beyond the cosmetic "caliper cover" look and delivers genuine motorsport-derived benefits:
1. Rock-Solid Pedal Feel
Stock calipers "slide" on pins, which wastes energy and creates flex. The 8611S is a fixed monoblock-style caliper forged from aluminum alloy. This rigidity ensures that when you press the pedal, the force goes directly into the pads, not into bending the caliper body.
2. Linear, Progressive Power
A 6-piston design allows for differential piston sizing. This means the smaller pistons engage first for smooth city driving, while the larger pistons engage under heavy braking for massive stopping power. It is easy to live with daily, but ready when you need it.
3. Thermal Management
By upgrading from the small stock disc to a 355mm (14.0") 2-piece rotor, we significantly increase the thermal capacity of the system. The curved cooling vanes and aluminum center hat dissipate heat faster, preventing brake fade during spirited drives or long descents.
Frequently Asked Questions: Haval H2 Upgrades
1. Will this kit fit my factory wheels?
The 8611S caliper is specifically designed with a slim profile to fit behind most 18-inch wheels, including many OEM options. However, spoke designs vary. We strongly recommend using our printable fitment template to check clearance between the caliper face and the wheel spokes before ordering.
2. Is this overkill for daily driving?
No. While the system is capable of high performance, the progressive piston design ensures the brake pedal remains easy to modulate in stop-and-go traffic. It is a "street performance" setup, not a dedicated "race only" setup.
3. Do I need to upgrade the rear brakes too?
For the Haval H2, the majority of braking work (approx 70-80%) is done by the front axle. Upgrading the front provides the most significant improvement in stopping power and safety. We offer matching rear pads and rotors if you wish to refresh the rear axle as well.
