Brembo Race System?

[Hoosier Daddy]

Anyone have details on these?

I've worked with these race calipers before on true racing applications.

They seem, from the two price point I've found, to be considerably cheaper than the GT-R. Why?

Here is an image of what the assembly looks like.

I think it kind of weird that according to Brembo their package called "race" isn't good for racing.

That is some what interesting.

After digging a bit it seems these are technically branded as 'Club Racing' upgrades. For instance, these may not then be up to par for PWC, CTSCC or other professional level racing. I can't find the caliper part numbers for any of the kits for any cars, but they sure look like ones offered in the Brembo Motorsports catalogue... Perhaps they aren't from there though.

That and I'm not sure that this car really needs 355mm rotors for a car of this weight.

14-15" front rotors are pretty standard in GT4/GS and GT3/GTD and all of those cars weigh less than a reasonably weight reduced FT86 - although in near stock config a BRZ would be in a TC class. Yes I know, GT3 cars actually have downforce (over 1200 lb @ 150 mph), generally much more power, with much better tires than are readily available.

I think it's more than feasible to run these sorts of brakes on a fun weekend car that you do track hard that does have sizable upgrades (boost, good springs/shocks, R1 tires, etc). I'm here because that may be what I'm interested in doing...

There just doesn't seem to be much publicly available information on these Club Racing upgrades. Then also what's the point of the GT-R kits if they offer less for the track but cost 2-3x more than a regular GT kit and these Club Sports? All of the above offer 14" rotors with 4 or 6 pot calipers it seems.

What do you want to know? I am 100% sure we are the only vendor here with firsthand experience with the Brembo systems for the FRS.

355x32 is what was determined to be the equilibrium point for this car with stock power in a race.

Short hot lapping sessions will not be as hard on the brakes as a race, and street/canyoning (short of something like Pike's Peak) will not be as hard on the brakes either.

As a data point, the AP Racing Endurance kit is *not* enough braking capacity for me to run a 20 lap spring race with street tires on a stock car... How many people here are actually racing?

For starters the Brembo p/n for the calipers. Thx

Before deciding how you feel about it, don't forget to ask why.

I was only 1/2 serious. That's divided by . I know that some tracks that the CSG guys visit are much faster than my local track. The Sprint kit is more than sufficient for the tracks I visit. BUT even so reading posts like that makes me aware of my own ability, or more specifically, lack there of.
*Goes and looks at some track day results to bolster my ego where I whipped some of the more powerful car's asses*

The left and right calipers that are included in the BRZ/FRS Club Racing kit.
