I thought the stock brakes were just as good ha ;)

They are, these will stop no better than the stockers. I'd bet you money on that. But my True Forged wheels have the "big brake cut" on the front wheels leaving a large gap for big brakes and it doesn't look right at the moment. You would never notice that with the same wheels most people run (rtr's, forgestar, avante gardes etc). Around a track, the stockers would definetely fade sooner, but on a street car you'd never notice a difference.

Kevin and I have the same wheels and you can see how much better it looks with the rotor filling the wheels that you can see through. :)

And here very soon, my car will be making quite abit more power too. :D

My point was with your car, you shouldn't let a car not having Brembos being a deal breaker for you because you can always add better brakes later and not pay interest on them for the duration of your loan. It's not all that important for a street car to have Brembos unless you are going to go out and track your car right away, otherwise the stock brakes will suffice. :)

Kevin- will the brembo's fit with the factory CS wheel? Just curious

[Grandpa]

Let me know when you are ready, I will give you a hand.

Excellent. But I want to do it myself this time with you supervising. :)

Looks good, I can't stand the way the small rotors look behind these big wheels.

Looks great, Kevin!

[Midnight11]

I challenge you to a brake test haha :D

[OG Fox]

where did you order your rotors from?? I am looking for slotted rotors for front and rear.

[Kronis]

I'm pretty sure they proved the Brembo package stops much sooner than the other stock brakes...

[BV600]

Looks great will be doing this to my new GT. Did you reuse the stock brake lines?

I believe magazine reviews said their was no difference, however I'd like to know which calipers held up better on the track. Which ones had more fade, etc. So about those rotors??

[PLASMAN]

They also allow for quick pad changes at the track 15 minutes

[04sleeper]

Sorry guys.

Here is what I purchased. Except mine came with new pads.

Very nice Kevin!! Car is looking sexy as usual!!

[GARS50]

Surely there has to be an advantage to the Brembo upgrade? maybe they stop in the same distance as factory but I bet they continue to do it a lot longer than factory, or at least I hope so.

btw: your CS looks amazing....I love the look.

[JDBishopArts]

From the tests I've seen a Brembo Car stops about 7-10ft shorter than the stock brakes from 60. They contribute 3-5ft of that to the upgraded tires though too. As stated above it allows for fast pad changes and from the tests the brake fade was the main difference on the track. For the brakes, rims, tires, springs I felt it was worth the 1675 or whatever it is.

[A302]

Nice upgrade. How much were the calipers and hardware?

I'll take that bet and your money. Talking about a 4 piston caliper that can't do as well as a 2 piston caliper? :shocked: Rotors alone with good pads make a night and day difference. Hell I picked up several tenths in my times by switching to better equipment. :favorites37:

[maxpayne]

Where did you buy the brembo calipers from?

Edit: I am not sure what ac427cobra is. Haha. Thanks!

Thanks!

I installed a set of gt500 brembos on the gt, they absolutely stop better. When Im runnning around riding the brakes real hard, real often, these have a tendency to not Have brake fade like the stockers did.

Plus, they look SICK on stock base gt wheels!!
