Stop Sooner. Drive Safer. Complete Pedal Control.Brake Upgrades
Did you know the standard brakes on your vehicle are designed to work with standard-sized tyres and weight? Larger tyres, added weight, and increased off-road demands can overwhelm original factory braking systems.
The IRONMAN 4X4 Brake Upgrade range is engineered to restore confidence and control and tailored specifically for 4WDs. Whether you're after improved pedal feel or serious stopping power under load, we offer performance-driven solutions to suit your vehicle, terrain, and driving style.

Brake Kit Components
Stage I Kits (Pads + Rotors)
Perfect for everyday 4WD users who want more control without a full performance overhaul. Ideal for light touring, towing small loads, or upgrading from worn OEM brakes. These kits provide better pedal feel, reduced brake fade, and consistent stopping with minimal dust.
Kevlar Ceramic Brake Pads
Quiet, low-dust performance with reliable bite and longer wear.
High Carbon Slotted Rotors
Excellent heat dissipation and reduced fade on long descents or under moderate loads.
Braided Brake Lines
Enhance braking response with firmer pedal feel.
Stage II Kits (Performance Calipers + Boosters + Conversions)
Designed for high-demand scenarios: fully loaded touring setups, frequent towing, oversized tyres, or commercial/fleet vehicles. These systems offer maximum stopping power and durability under pressure.
Forged Aluminium 6-Pot & 8-Pot Calipers
For heavy-duty applications where serious clamping force is essential.
Drum-to-Disc Conversions
Ideal for older or work vehicles needing modern braking with integrated EPB.
Dual-Diaphragm Brake Boosters
Great for heavy rigs like the LC70, improving brake performance by up to 30%.
What You'll Gain by Upgrading with Ironman 4x4
- Up to 30% More Stopping Power: Proven performance gains through booster and caliper upgrades.
- Fade Resistance Where It Counts: Heat-treated rotors and Kevlar ceramic pads stand up to long descents and repeated stops.
- Durable & Low-Maintenance: Slotted rotors, stainless hardware, and Geomet coatings built for real-world abuse.
- Easy, Bolt-On Installation: Most systems require no modification and fit directly to OEM mounts.
- ADR Certified: Tested and approved under ADR 35/05 and 35/06 standards for legal compliance in Australia.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are brake upgrades worth it?
Absolutely. If you’re carrying extra weight, running larger tyres, towing, or pushing your vehicle harder than the factory setup was designed for, upgraded brakes offer real-world benefits. Better stopping power means safer driving, especially when descending steep terrain or reacting to sudden stops. Ironman 4x4 brake kits provide improved pedal feel, reduced fade under load, and longer-lasting components - giving you confidence where it counts most.
What size wheels do I need for Stage II kits?
Stage II kits typically require 17" wheels or larger. Always check your vehicle-specific fitment guide.
Will these brake kits fit my stock vehicle?
Ironman 4x4 brake systems are designed to bolt directly onto stock mounts for supported models. Use the My Build tool to see which systems are compatible with your vehicle.
What is the installation time?
Installation varies by kit but ranges from 1–3 hours per axle. Our kits are DIY friendly, but if you are unsure on where start professional installation is recommended for best results.
Are these upgrades road legal?
Upgrading both ensures balanced braking, especially when towing or carrying loads. However, front kits alone still deliver significant gains.
Do I need both front and rear upgrades?
Upgrading both ensures balanced braking, especially when towing or carrying loads. However, front kits alone still deliver significant gains.
What's the benefit of a dual-diaphragm booster?
A dual-diaphragm booster increases brake pressure with less pedal effort, delivering up to 30% more braking power—especially useful for heavy rigs.
Do I need a brake upgrade for larger tyres or towing?
Yes. Bigger tyres and heavier loads increase stopping distance. Upgrading improves safety, performance, and brake lifespan, avoiding costly vehicle servicing later down the line.
