just picked up a set of brembo brakes to install. i got the 6 piston gran tourismo kit front, they look like the gtr brakes but the brembo rep said they are way better. that the gtr brakes are good but are considered OEM brembo. that the aftermarket is way better. brembo just released a new 4 piston kit for the rear. i think i grabbed the first one. its not in the catalog and they gave me a great deal on it. all red with white letters. includes all rotors, calipers, pads and ss lines. im getting them installed at function tuned the beginning of january. Brembo said that they were marking all there prices up starting 1 january. ill get pics once the install is complete.

oem brembo's for sale in the brake section.

 

 

the set you picked is nice. I was was eyeing them last night myself.

 

wow, he ran the ol' salespitch on you and you fell for it. way to go. i bet that rep works on commission and you just made sure he got a good christmas. enjoy your brakes

 

i actually researched these before i bought them. i saved 400 on the rear set and 350 on the front set from the 2008 prices, free shipping also.

 

Now I'm wondering why all of the big brake kits were going up in price in the next few weeks???? Do you think they sell more during the winter? Or during racing season????

Kind of sounds like you got duped. Especially if you're figuring your sales off of the new inflated price list for 09.

 

most companies up there prices each year. i watched this happen last year also. i was going to buy a set of polk audio speakers. they were 750 a piece. january first they went to 850 a piece and havent dropped back down since. its a pretty normal thing

 

what was wrong with the brembos that came with your car?

 

price installed?

 

I went from 4 to 6 pistons on the front and 2 to 4 pistons on the rear. Plus bigger rotors. OEM brembo is not the same as aftermarket brembo. A four piston front setup OEM is not anywhere as good as an aftermarket brembo 4 piston kit. The OEM is factory spec. The same is true onthe 6 piston GTR brakes. The OEM brembo on the gtr is not ad good as the 6 piston aftermarket kit by brembo.

 

6395 installed

 

wow

 

He ask you what was wrong with your oem brembo's, not what the difference between the new and the old was.

 

OEM brembos are fine. i just wanted better stopping power. im building this car for the track.

 

any pictures?

 

I'll post pics as soon as I get them. They are being shipped Monday.

 

Woah......... is it just me or does that seem too overpriced?
