I assume the Factory will do better than the Sprint in salty environments due to the caliper being painted instead of anodized, but what about heat dissipation? Does the additional 31mm diameter of the rotor make up for the decreased width? Is the CP8350 caliper of the Sprint more capable than the CP6628 caliper of the Factory kit? |

We sell both, as well as the entire Brembo lineup. As with everything else, we only sell products we are comfortable backing with both our tech support and our confidence. |

I think your last comment was a very fair comparison of the two and its all that should really be said about each big brake route, there are pros and cons for each route and the consumer needs to decide on what compromises they are willing to make for their personal needs |

So...no the car won't explode on the way to the supermarket, but there is a shift in brake bias that I don't like. I try to put parts on my cars with a functional effect that I do like. That's my priority. That's really all I need. No further discussion on my end. I won't raise hell if you put them on your car and install them correctly, but if you ask my opinion I'll tell you. - Andy |

on a side note, brembos made for OE's are not the same level as brembos made for aftermarket upgrades. the brembo OE+ stuff is actually handled completely separately from their aftermarket performance division.

On my own side note again, I have them on my car, with track pads and they are not safe. If I could get a video of the way the car feels under hard braking I would, but seriously, it upsets the balance quite bad. Use them on the street all day long with proper mounting and pads, but mine won't see another track day. |

It's even scarier on 2 wheels as a buddy of mine learned while he was starting to learn how to ride. |

Your front bias system, with street pads, overworks the fronts. You safely decelerate to 30mph from 80mph without issue, but now the fronts overheat, and stop working as hard. Now you have a rear brake bias for the remaining 30mph of braking, and you don't brake nearly as quickly with a rear brake bias. Lets go further and say you rear end the person in front of you, and they file a lawsuit. They can say that you're negligent due to the "upgraded" inappropriately sized brakes on your car... Hypothetical, and unlikely, but we have airbags in our cars for that hypothetical and unlikely situation right? |

you and i both know you're reaching a bit here.
i've had brembos mounted the right way for about 2 years now daily driven in NJ and NYC. had plenty of panic situations and etc, not one single hick up. car stops on the dime every time. the only time i had issue was when it was wet on snow tires and i got cut off while i was going about 60, panic braked and slid for a short second, but that has more to do with tires. i'm not saying its a great choice, but some of the stuff in this thread is just ridiculous. this is a perfectly reasonable upgrade for the average enthusiast like myself who does only a few DE's days a summer and the rest is auto-x and street driving. |
