Brembo 6/4 GT BBK


I was planning to run Stoptech or PFC, then had the opportunity to grab the Brembo GT kit from a fellow enthusiast. The kit was in great condition with low miles, so I decided to give it a go. In terms of aesthetics and cooling performance, this kit has been a huge improvement over stock. For the Pros/Cons list, I will highlight/compare some of the differences between this kit and my previous Stoptech kit

Pros:
  • The monoblock rotors look great!
  • The monoblock rotors are light.
  • Improved braking performance through improved cooling.
  • Easy caliper removal thanks to mounting bracket design.

Cons:
  • Replacement parts are expensive.
  • Switching pads is much better/easier with Stoptechs design.
  • I prefer Stoptech balanced braking bias with matching front/rear rotor sizes.
  • Higher likelihood of damaging caliper finish when performing pad swaps compared to Stoptech

Haven't run this kit long enough to formulate a complete comparison. The kit works well and looks great! If I were to do this mod again, I would likely go with Stoptech due to the ease of swapping brake pads and the "feel" of their balanced braking bias. That said, this kit may grow on me
