Got the Grand Turismo Brembos (15" front) and they look awesome. Not sure of the rears size. I believe its 12". Looks great. Ive only had them on for a few days before I left for vacation in the carribean. When I get home in a few days ill post my pics.


The rears just came out. I was told by the shop in Southern Cal that installed them that I was the first person in the US to get the rears on thier car.

Arrow Go Brembo

I love Brembo Kit. Fast response. But be aware of some fake ones selling in the market. The look more than 90% alike.

Brembo, great choice. My customer just purchased a set for a special price (380mmF 8-piston + 345mmR). You will love them. Personally, I think for the Front 355mm will be enough (at least you can save $1K vs. buying 380mm).

What is the cost of the rears? Also, I see that they make two different sizes for the front; 18", and 19" wheels. Is it the same for the rears as well?

Wink Brembo Rear

Vato,

I agree, 1 size 328mm (or 12.9"), 2-pieces (5 lbs lighter than the 1-piece) for rear. Although I am not 100% sure, I think the price runs about somewhere above the mid $2000 range. A very reasonable and attractive price to me compared to the Brabus or AMG. Try it, and you can tell the difference instantly. But do follow Brembo's recommendation about the "brake-in" practice.

Re: Brembo Rear

For the W211 I see the rears listed as 345mm (13.6") 2piece rotors. The W210 shows the 328 listed. This is from the file on Brembo's site anyway. But you're correct about the price. $2795 list.
