Cool Carbon Performance Brake Pads  |
| Cool Carbon Performance establishes the new reference in performance braking for street/track and racing formulations. Both Cool Carbon compounds have been developed at German R&D facilities and have been tested extensively on the German autobahn. Cool Carbon Performance brake pads deliver true undiluted performance. |
|
| Street Performance/Track Tuned (S/T) - This compound is a higher friction level than OE, with much better torque and stopping capability. It is very stable, both cold and hot to temperatures exceeding 600 C (1112 F), due to a special "hollow" ceramic structure that exhibits excellent heat dissipation characteristics. Stainless steel noise shims, bonded to what is already a very quiet formula, ensure virtually no noise under all driving conditions. Improved pedal feel and significantly reduced dust can be expected. S/T compound features: excellent initial bite, consistent torque, stopping ability & temperature stability; very good fade resistance; long life, rotor friendly, low/no dust; virtually without noise; excellent for daily street use and with very good track performance. |

| Racing Technology (R/T) - This compound is derived from a formula family originally developed for extreme heat environments. We have taken this base and combined it with our "fast car" know how to provide the shortest stopping distance under every driving condition. The R/T compound provides a higher friction level than S/T and even greater torque. It is extremely stable; both cold and hot, due to a large surface titanium ceramic and a heat stabilized binding system. Performance is excellent to temperatures well above 700 C (1292 F). Stainless Steel noise shims are bonded to minimize noise if driven on the street. Shims may be removed for regular track usage for improved pedal feel. R/T compound features: exceptional initial bite, torque, stopping ability and temperature stability; extreme fade resistance; good life expectancy; dust similar to OE, low noise with noise shim installed; the perfect choice for regular track use. |

Brembo Gran Turismo Brake Kits |
Brembo's performance proven systems result in a substantial improvement in overall braking performance. Key attributes like shorter stopping distances, reduced brake fade, improved pedal feel, and perfect front to rear balance increase safety and build driver confidence.
Brembo's largest multi-piston calipers and 2 piece floating rotors reward even the most demanding driver with “Optimized Brake Balance” and maximum performance. Brembo engineered these systems to be lighter than original equipment brakes to improve steering response and handling characteristics. These traits, combined with increased stopping power and reduced brake fade, deliver truly unmatched performance. The confidence that comes from a Brembo brake upgrade delivers a whole new driving experience.
The Gran Turismo system’s level of technology and performance is unrivaled by any other product on the market. By utilizing larger calipers and discs, thermal capacity and brake torque is increased. This potent combination offers the extreme in Brembo’s leading edge technology for high performance street or track use applications.
Brembo Gran Turismo High Performance brake systems include:- Brembo 4 piston calipers with sequentially sized pistons; includes color choices of red, black or silver calipers
- Brembo two piece “floating” hat and rotor assemblies reduce unsprung and rotating weight and dissipate heat faster
- Brembo drilled or slotted two piece rotors up to 15” (380mm)
- DOT and TUV certified Goodridge stainless steel braided brake lines; are guaranteed for life
- Brembo high performance brake pads
- Brembo “floating” anti-rattle rotor hardware
