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.

This customer comes to us from Singapore where he equipped his Porsche 997 Turbo with a set of HRE P40 Monoblock wheels in the stock 19×8.5 and 19×11 inch sizes.  The textured black wheels offer a great contrasting look against his silver body.  In addition to the wheels, he also added a set of the Fabspeed quad tips that Vivid Racing custom powdercoated in flat black.  These products like other Porsche performance parts Vivid Racing sell are designed to fit like OEM and offer a great sense of style.  View more Porsche Customer Gallery Pictures Here.

Looking like a picture from Robin Leach’s “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous”, is this Audi R8 we did some HRE Wheels P40 Monoblock on.  The wheels are done in the satin charcoal finish which is a great contrast to the two tone Audi R8 body.  The wheels are a 19×8.5 and 19×11 which is a great fitment for the Audi R8.  Check out more pictures of other cars equipped with HRE Wheels at www.vividracing.com/hrewheels.

A bit ago we posted about our customer with a Porsche 997 C4S cab that just installed the NR Auto replica TechArt body kit.  Well now with that new aggressive look he needed some aggressive wheels.  This customer added the HRE P43 wheels to his ride.  The Gloss Black wheels are done in a 19×8.5 and 19×11 fitment which sits nice and flush with the Porsche 997 Widebody.  The monoblock wheels definitely add a different dimension to his car.  Check out the before and after pictures on his Gallery Here.

Straight from HRE, this Mercedes CLS 550 looks amazing rolling on 20″ M40’s and M43’s.The silver M40’s stand out with a brushed  finish that shines in the right light. It could be considered a perfect wheel to accompany the CLS 550’s trim and style.

You could also elect to go with the M43’s textured black finish to contrast the trim of the exotic CLS 550. Either option is correct and allows you, the buyer, the select the style that is fitting for your ride.

Vivid Racing is among the few who carry a wide variety of Monoblock and multi-piece wheels from HRE. Check out our continuously growing wheels and tires catalog today.
