Each model is designed for a quick and easy installation in a nearby car service, or at home if you are a DIY car owner.
- With Brembo Brake Kits installed on your vehicle, you’ll feel a significant reduction in the stopping distance.
- Brake Kits are available for a wide range of vehicle makes and models. Each product is custom-made for a specific car, which allows customers to purchase a perfect fit, completely compatible with other OEM parts.
- Each model of Brembo Brake Kit is assembled wisely with balance, optimal performance, and reliability in mind. Every component is elegantly combined with all others so there’s no chance left for a functional breakage to happen.
- Brembo Brake Pads are meticulously tested in the factory and on the track, to provide customers with significant enhancements after replacing OEM parts.
- With these brake kits, you’ll get a boost in braking performance, a greater pedal response, and efficiency of braking performance.
Brake Pads by Brembo
If your goal is to maximize safety while braking, Brembo offers a wide range of Brake Pads to improve performance and keep safety levels high even under stressful situations. These Brake Pads are engineered and designed in collaboration with many modern car manufacturers, with a focus on racing and everyday performance.
Each stage of Brake Pads manufacturing undergoes meticulous quality control to ensure that each product will be released on the market in a perfect state. What’s even more interesting, Brembo Brake Pads for specific car models are manufactured in the same factories where OE parts are created, which means that these upgrades are approved by those car manufacturers. It also means that customers get an upgraded, higher-class equivalent of the OE brake pads that were installed before.
As of 2023, Brembo offers two series of Brake Pads, let’s learn more about them.
Brembo Ceramic NAO Brake Pads
NAO Ceramic Brake Pads are released by Brembo to fulfill daily drivers’ needs for comfortable, reliable, and safe braking. In comparison to standard OE parts, Ceramic Brake pads have a longer lifetime, increased durability, and strength. These pads are perfect for a stop-and-go driving style inherent to daily basis driving, business trips, and family travels.
- Four main advantages NAO Ceramic Brake Pads offer are Long Time of Service, Low Brake Dust, High Levels of Comfort when Braking, and Low Levels of Vibration and Noise.
- Brembo team has done an amazing job at designing, engineering, and processing these Brake Pads to significantly reduce wear. Brembo Brake Pads offer more than 15 percent longer time of service when compared to OE parts.
- A unique friction material that works in harmony with multi-layered Brembo Red shims to reduce noise and vibration. Right away you’ll notice the difference after replacing your old OE parts. An average noise reduction in these pads is twenty percent higher when compared to OE parts.
- Ceramic material used in these Brake Pads minimizes dust emissions by thirty-five percent, leaving your wheels clean for a much longer time.
- Ceramic Brake Pads should be your first choice if you want to use environmentally friendly products.
Brembo Low-Met Brake Pads
These Brake Pads are designed by Brembo from low-metallic materials and offer an improved performance when compared to OE parts. One of the main advantages of Brembo Low-Met Brake Pads is the reliability they offer even in adverse conditions.
- Low-Met Brake Pads are designed with four primary strong sides. These are a Long Time of Service, Great Heat Handling, Improved Levels of Grip, and Reduced Levels of Noise and Vibration.
- Brembo Low-Met Brake Pads are perfect for street riding, daily and business driving, family trips, long travels, and so on. Practically, these Brake Pads will help you get comfortable and safely through any type of ride.
- Enhanced Pad Grip design and special material used by Brembo reduce stopping distance and provide you with a better safety on the road.
- Brembo Low-Met Brake Pads have a temperature resistance of up to 750 degrees Fahrenheit, which safely allows you to have consequent heavy brakings one after the other. Of course, you shouldn’t abuse your brakes, but still, it is good to know that Brake Pads won’t fail you in unexpected situations.
- Low-Met Brake Pads are available for a wide range of vehicle makes and models, but Brembo devoted special attention to creating hundreds of fitments for premium cars manufactured in Europe.
- These Brembo Brake Pads offer more than ten percent of noise and vibration reduction, thirty-five percent less brake dust emission, and more than fifteen percent longer time of service. Of course, it is in comparison with standard OE brake pads.
Brake Discs by Brembo
Brake Discs manufactured by Brembo are strong, reliable, and provide high levels of safety while braking. As of 2023, Brembo offers two series in this category, with hundreds of products for different car makes and models. Let’s learn a bit more about Brembo Brake Discs.
Brembo Rotors and Drums
In comparison with standard OE parts, Rotors and Drums by Brembo offer enhanced cooling, a higher level of comfort, and much better corrosion resistance. All the products in this series are ECE-R90 compliant.
- Xtra Brake Rotors is one of the models in this series that offers a drilled design, high-resistance UV coating, and perfect geometry for street performance.
- Other models without a drilled design are available. They still come with ultra-resistant UV coating and provide balanced, higher-class performance for daily and adventurous driving.
- After purchasing Brembo Rotors and Drums, and getting them on your hands, you can immediately install them without any other preparations on the product. Brembo prepares the product for you, so you won’t have to waste any more time before upgrading your braking system.
- Some Rotors by Brembo have a unique PVT system, which translates as a Pillar Ventilating system. This system ensures a much better thermal exchange which reduces the risk of thermal cracks and deterioration.
- If you want Rotors of a much higher level, Brembo offers PVT Plus Rotors with a cross-shaped pillar design that takes the cooling to a next level and keeps it the same for any application, no matter the size, weight, or stress.
- For the owners of premium-class cars Brembo offers two-piece brake rotors that provide consistent, high-rating performance, and a reduced weight compared to other models. Brembo two-piece Brake Rotors can be ordered in co-cast, floating, or composite construction.
- Co-cast Brake Rotors consist of steel hats and cast iron braking area strengthened with carbon.
- Brembo Floating Discs consist of cast iron brake surfaces and aluminum hats connected together using locking bushings. Bushings allow the discs to expand and return back to normal when the temperatures are too extreme, which reduces the risk of breakage.
- Composite Rotors by Brembo are constructed from cast iron brake surfaces, aluminum hats, and steel pins merged together.
- If you’re a competitive driver, try out Brembo High-Carbon Rotors with extreme noise reduction, brake distance reduction, and high levels of braking comfort.
Xtra Brake Rotors by Brembo
As mentioned before, Xtra Brake Rotors offer more effective cooling, but apart from that they provide better, more effective braking and a high level of corrosion resistance.
- Effective cooling is achieved with drilled rotor constructional design. A drilled surface provides the Rotors with balanced temperature control needed in stressful braking situations. The holes are precisely drilled to optimally disperse gasses and temperature changes. This in turn reduces brake fade.
- Drilled design also enhances a grip, which improves braking performance but also keeps the surface clean by scraping off debris using a tight grip between the pads and rotors.
- Xtra Brake Rotors perform just as great and reliably in wet conditions.
- UV coating prolongs the time of service of the product while also protecting it from deterioration caused externally.
- Xtra Brake Rotors are perfect for modern and older cars, and different types of driving like mundane rides or adventurous, competitive driving.
