Brembo Brake Upgrade

[jeglazer]

Please help!

I'm wanting to upgrade the factory setup while retaining the stock calipers, and rotor size. Any suggestions? I only drive my car in the summer, some track days Brake dust isn't an issue for me, just the fade I experienced during my last track day Thanks for your help.

I'm not sure you can get cali. The same size but you can upgrade the rotors to 2 piece and upgrade the break pads. That should be able to get you close to what you want , but that just my 2cents.

You want to keep the calipers and the rotors.. So that leaves lines, pads and fluid.

2 piece rotors are probably overkill, but they help. Good track compound pads will make your track days survivable with the rest of the stock system, may need to upgrade fluid from stock though, as it may boil.

Good fluid and good pads, maybe some simple 1-piece rotors that are better suited for the abuse than the stockers, but that is also dependant on your pad choice somewhat. If you go with a pad that isn't too hard on the rotors, the stock ones may work just fine, unless they are warping. Try pads/fluid and see how that works out for you.

look at the brake pad database and try a more track oriented pad and fluid... if that still fades, you can swap in dedicated track pads/rotors at the track or just upgrade size.

Look into a track pad like Carbotech, xp12 fronts xp10 rears.
If you have not had any training on a track an instructor could help.

Those will squeal like nothing else. I ran the mild ax6's most of last summer, they squeal like crazy. I will be swapping them out for some quieter pads, and keep them for auto cross days.

Get some Endless Super Street Sport pads. Streetable, low dust levels, higher temp range for HDPE/track days.
