Brembo GT Type-3 Front Big Brake Kit 1B3.8047A2 for Cadillac XLR, XLR-V, Corvette C6
$3995.00

Alright, let’s talk about Brembo's GT Systems. If you’re serious about braking performance—whether you’re hitting the track or just want to feel more confident on the road—this kit is worth a look. It’s not just a bunch of shiny parts; it’s been rigorously tested and refined for folks who really push their cars to the limit.

At the heart of the GT Systems are these tough aluminum calipers. They’re made from a single piece of cast aluminum, which means they're super rigid and won’t warp when you’re slamming on the brakes. If you’re the type who likes to drive hard, this is going to give you that consistent stopping power you crave.

The kit comes with rotors that you can choose between floating or one-piece designs, depending on what your ride needs. And here’s a cool feature: the rotors have an innovative venting system that boosts cooling. This helps cut down on thermal shock-related cracking by about 40%. Plus, the cross-drilled and slotted finishes aren’t just for looks—they help keep the brakes cool and clear out brake dust and gases, so you get solid performance no matter the conditions.

You’ll also get high-performance brake pads tailored for various driving styles, ensuring you’ve got the right friction for your needs. The metal-braided hoses are TUV/DOT approved, which means they’re tough and reliable. Everything you need for a straightforward upgrade is included—adapters, high-quality fasteners, you name it.

So if you’re looking to really amp up your car’s braking game, the Brembo GT Systems are where it’s at. It’s all about that mix of cutting-edge tech and solid engineering to give you a driving experience that feels just right.
