Brembo is debuting these new GT-R racing brake kits at the 2009 SEMA show in Las Vegas.  Oh, that starts next week Muhahahahah.   These high-end GT-Rracing brake applications available for cars like Porsche, Ferrari, BMW, and others looking for the ULTIMATE in braking.  These are never before seen pictures outside of Italy.   The nickle plating is inspired by what F1 race teams use and the calipers are 10% lighter then the current Monobloc calipers on the market.  They are much stiffer, provide better modulation, and improved response over the older design.    Having personally owned a set of 6piston Monoblocks on my Porsche 996TT, that is a good chunk of weight!  These calipers feature vented piston inserts and are more thermo-mechanical resistance.

Brembo GT-R brakes used to be race calipers only that came from ALMS, Grand AM, World Rally, BTTC, JGTC,etc and made into full custom racing systems only.  These required the same care and maintenance that a pro level team would use shunning most enthusiasts from equipping their cars with the GT-R kits.  Even very experienced track day and amateur level racers were not equipped to monitor caliper temps and operating temps to provide the proper care and keep these systems properly tuned.  The NEW line of GT-R calipers were designed to provide every level of performance as these top level race calipers, but with superior plating for aesthetic longevity and corrosion resistance’s, and incorporate a twin seal design that eliminates the need for the additional maintenance of rebuilding. A simple set of caliper temp stickers, (also available through Vivid Racing) is all you need to ensure you are running within optimal operating temperatures during the most aggressive track outings.  Thus Brembo has released a GT-R kit that is street friendly and ready for the serious racer.

Brembo will be delivering these to the USA starting January 1 and preorders are available with deposits.  You can view all our current Brembo Brake Applications Here.

There are some serious customer cars doing some work around the world right now, and they are white!  These Porsche 997 Turbo cars come from our customers in New York and Kuwait.  The first car is a long time customer and good friend in Kuwait.  He has outfitted this 997 Turbo with some serious carbon fiber from MaCarbon, suspension parts from Agency Power, and Bilstein PSS10 coilovers.  Besides his TechArt rear wing, he has added some cool factor with these 20″ HRE P40 wheels that have been brushed for a clean look.

Our next customer we have featured before and he is a track junky.  Also rocking the Bilstein PSS10 coilovers, he has a GT3 style wing from MAShaw, Champion RS171 wheels, Agency Power sway bar links, and our proven best 2pc rotor for the Porsche by Brembo.  Check out these action shots of him tearing up the race track.

We love to see our customers cars and the progress they have made from stock.  Recently we received 2 updates from customers on either end of the country.  First, this customer with the Porsche 996TT has spent 7 months preparing his 996 Turbo for street and track.  His latest mods include some Bilstein PSS10 coilovers, HRE P40 wheels, and the Porsche GT3 6piston brake upgrade featuring the new Brembo 2 piece slotted rotors.  Accompanied with his Pagid brake pads, this is one hot machine on the track!  View more Porsche customer cars here – http://www.vividracing.com/forums/gallery/browseimages.php?c=294

The next customer car is from another Porsche driver who also owns a new Audi S5 as a daily driver.  The Audi S5 is an incredible machine and with some mods can be turned into a really fun car.  This customer decided to dial in the suspension and get a bit more noise from the engine.  To add horsepower, he decided to go with the premier Audi tuner, StaSIS Engineering.  StaSIS developed this exhaust system to give the driver a great tone and additional torque.  Inconjunction with his exhaust, he also added some BBS CH wheels and some H&R coilovers to improve the handling.  Check out more of our Audi & VW customer cars here – http://www.vividracing.com/forums/gallery/browseimages.php?c=385

After receiving some marketing photos from HRE of a flat black SL55 with black HRE P40 wheels, I showed my customer the picture and he bought on the spot.  Soon after the install of these 20 inch wheels, his factory brake rotors took a dump.  One thing some don’t know about the Merc is that the brakes are “brake by wire”.  Brembo developed a front complete replacement kit to enhance the SL55 stopping power and work well with the braking system.  The front is a 6piston monoblock caliper for a very rigid system.  The rotors are drilled to match the stock rears and available in a 405mm (16 inch!) diameter.  We did the calipers in silver to match the rears.  The bleeding process of the brakes requires the car to be left on so computer system can properly adjust.  With the new HRE P40 wheels and Brembo brakes, the stoutness of this Mercedes is shown!
