Brembo Gran Turismo Kits

Looking for some bigger/better brakes for my E430. Looked at the Brembo kits on Tire Rack's Web site. OUCH ($$$$)! Anyone using these kits? Anything out there better? Car is street driven only.

Does anyone know if Brembo makes drilled replacement rotors for the rear?

Brembo does make cross-drilled replacement rotors for your OEM brakes, however they are not designed to be a performance upgrade like the GT kits. The Gran Turismo kits are a dramatic upgrade over stock. I have the 14" front and 12.9" rear on my CLK and I would never go back to stock.

Thanks Ben. I am only looking for drilled replacement rotors for the REAR. Looking at the Brembo GT kit for front.

Do you know if yellow calipers are available from Brembo via special order?

We can order Brembo calipers in any color for you for an additional $200-$300 per pair.

Rear cross-drilled rotors are available for $199/pair.

Thanks,

Ben
