Default FOR SALE: Brembo GT-R Brakes

I am selling my Brembo GT-R brakes from the Beast -- FRONTS ONLY.

$4000.00

Those that have ridden with me know how well these brakes perform. These calipers are ridiculously light and changing pads is effortless.















Here's a pic when they were on the car.

Dean,

I love these brakes, you should know experiencing them first hand last year.

I'm putting on Brembos very similar to this system, but geared more for Enduro racing. That is all for now pal. Pics to follow later.

Yes I remember them well. Ever since that ride I have problems keeping my eyes from popping out of their sockets!

Enduro brakes... I wonder what/where they might be used???

Didn't you participate in a 25 hour race fairly recently Dean?

Definitely. Lets just say Mike will need to Rain-X the INSIDE of his windshield.

Any idea of how many G's it should be able to pull stopping when the tyres are sticky?

You know things are getting serious when stopping power starts being measured in G's instead of number feet needed to stop from 100mph

Those retail for well over $9K.
Popular pad shape, popular rotor size.
Pretty much the last brake kit you'll ever need to buy.

You can run it front only, or match it with any of the existing Brembo rear kits.
Plenty of braking power, with proper brake bias.

If I had to say what's the best about thing that setup, it would have to be the modulation and response. The pedal is effortless and easily controllable from initial application through lock up. You'd be hard pressed to find a stiffer and lighter caliper, and the disc life is amazing.

I just noticed it has a Type V slotted disc on their.
That's actually an upgrade from the standard Type I that the kit originally came with.
It's great that there's multiple disc options as well as pad combination to dial the system in for driver preference.

Thanks for chiming in Gary. You hit it right on the head. Trailbraking with these brakes makes anybody Superman! Rotating the car in tight turns is a snap with the control these brakes offer.

Considering the regular GT kit (15" version) retails for $4250...the $4000 price is incredible.

I just want to see it go to someone who is going to use it for what it's worth.
(that's nearly $9000 worth of brake)
