Common Questions

What is the difference between Brembo GT and GT-S kits?

GT kits are designed for street and light track use. GT-S kits use larger rotors and higher clamping force calipers for dedicated track and racing applications.

Will a Brembo big brake kit fit my stock wheels?

Not always. Big brake kits require enough wheel clearance for the larger caliper and rotor package. Confirm minimum wheel diameter and offset requirements before ordering.

Are Brembo big brake kits street legal?

Yes. Brembo GT and GT-S kits are designed for street use in addition to track applications, though local brake noise and dust regulations may vary.

Do I need new brake lines with a Brembo big brake kit?

Most kits include braided stainless steel lines. Confirm inclusion on the specific kit for your vehicle.

What is the difference between OE-style and GT rotors?

OE-style rotors are factory-spec direct replacements for daily driving. GT rotors are part of the big brake kit system, using larger two-piece construction for improved heat management.

Does Brembo make brakes for trucks?

Yes. Brembo offers OE-style rotor and pad replacement kits for the Ford F-150 and select other truck platforms.

What pad compound should I choose for daily driving?

Ceramic pads are typically recommended for daily driving due to lower dust and quieter operation. Semi-metallic compounds suit higher heat street and track use.

Can I install a Brembo big brake kit myself?

Most kits are designed for installation by an experienced mechanic due to the precision required for caliper bracket alignment and brake system bleeding.

Are Brembo calipers the same as what comes on factory Brembo-equipped cars?

Aftermarket GT and GT-S kits are separate product lines from factory-installed Brembo calipers, though they share Brembo's engineering and manufacturing standards.

Do Brembo big brake kits come with a warranty?

Yes. Brembo big brake kits carry a manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
