Brembo brakes. Big brake upgrade.
Who here has a big brake upgrade? Can you post pics and reviews. I'm thinking of doing the upgrade and would love to here some comments.
Thanks! |

friends that drove it afterwards said it shouldve been how it came with the car.

Hi 78mao, would you mind sharing Brembo part numbers? I have been thinking since the day I got the car, but only found number for front brakes and not rear. I don't drive that aggressively, but the look of OEM is killing me every morning.

i dont have the rears! i just painted the rears to match the front. i spoke to them, they do have a rear kit, but you lose your e brake. i didnt want to deal with that so i just went with the route on painting them.

I see, I also read somewhere that you lose e brake. I saw your other thread "Rear Brembo 4Pot GT Kit coming soon" so I thought you found the right set. Anyway, your car looks very nice with front kit and painted rear set.

I would do it -- both front and back -- but don't want to lose the free maintenance on the brakes.
Wonder if there's a way to buy the M6 Brakes ... would they even fit on our cars? |

I want to say even the non-ceramic brakes on the M6 are bigger at the rears. The 6er rear disks are something like 13.6 inches. The standard M6 rear disks are something like 15.6, and cross-drilled of course. |

You are right, the part numbers are different. They kinda look similar from photos.
