WHY
DO IN NEED TO UPGRADE MY BRAKE SYSTEM?
A Brembo High Performance Brake System offers many advantages
over your vehicles original brake systems. Increased diameter
rotors and radial mount calipers greatly improve brake system
performance., heat dissipation, and reduce brake fade. Aluminum
calipers and lighter weight two piece rotors reduce unsprung
weight and differential piston bores provide optimum brake
balance and even pad ware.
IS
THE BREMBO UPGRADE DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR MY VEHICLE?
Brembo Engineers design each brake upgrade for your vehicle
and driving conditions choosing from hundreds of calipers,
pistons, and radial combinations to achieve maximum performance
and optimum brake balance. Additionally, Brembo Brake Upgrades
are easy to install and are designed to work seamlessly with
your vehicle's stock master cylinder, ABS and traction control
systems
WILL
I NEED OVERSIZED WHEELS AND TIRES?
Wheel size and wheel clearance are important considerations
when upgrading your brake system. Many new performance vehicles
come with larger wheels and tires and can accommodate a Brembo
Brake Upgrade. Always check with us to ensure that your wheels
provide clearance and offset necessary to accommodate your
new brake system.
DO
I NEED TO UPGRADE THE FRONT AND REAR BRAKES?
Each Brembo upgrade is designed to give you flexibility to
upgrade front or front and rear while maintaining optimum
brake balance and performance. Complete rear systems are available
for most applications and are engineered specifically to compliment
the front system.
WHAT
IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DRILLED AND SLOTTED ROTORS?
Both drilled and slotted rotors provide increased brake system
performance. They continuously clean and refresh the pad surface,
shed water and debris, prevent gas build up and increase pad
bite. Drilled disc offers improved ventilation and slotted
disc offers increased durability under extreme braking conditions,
specifically when vehicles are fitted with race pads.
