The Most Sophisticated High Performance Braking System Ever Manufactured for Your BMW
This is a lightweight two-piece rotor and caliper system for racing, track days, and high-performance driving. Brembo's GT System combines increased thermal capacity and lightweight characteristics of 2-piece floating rotors for an extremely versatile and durable system on or off the track.
Brembo's GT Systems are designed and tested specifically for track-day enthusiasts and drivers who demand the utmost performance from their cars. These kits offer superlative performance for both everyday driving and demanding track-day sessions.
The heart of the kit consists of monoblock aluminium calipers, machined from a single billet of cast aluminium to ensure outstanding rigidity and minimized deformation under heavy braking. The 2-piece floating rotors supplied in the kit feature an exclusive venting system that improves cooling capacity and increases resistance to cracking caused by thermal shock by over 40%.
Cross-drilled and slotted finishes are designed and executed with meticulous precision. These features in the braking surface help dissipate heat and eliminate brake dust and gases. A set of high-performance brake pads with specific friction materials for the E36; TUV/DOT homologated metal-braided hoses; plus an adapter and high-quality fastener hardware complete the kit.
Racing-Derived Monoblock Calipers in Billet Aluminium
Lightweight, rigid and resistant to high temperatures, Brembo's GT-R calipers are made from billet aluminium with a radial 4-piston arrangement. They reduce unsprung weight, improving suspension dynamics and vehicle performance.
These Brembo calipers are designed to provide constant, predictable braking strength and a stable, reliable pedal. Individual pistons with stainless steel radiators allow a significant reduction in heat transmission during extreme driving, reducing brake wear and fade to a minimum.
Brembo GT-R calipers are nickel plated to guarantee protection against corrosion, providing longevity and high quality in the field. The Brembo logo is CNC machined in red embossing.
Two piece floating discs to reduce the suspended weight and dissipate heat quickly.
GT-R braking systems include two-piece floating discs which reduce the suspended weight and dissipate heat quickly. The floating disc's anti-noise hardware is the direct result of Brembo's experience with brakes designed for Formula 1 competition. The discs are 365 mm in diameter and 29 mm thick.
Pads Provide Optimum Performance in Various Driving Conditions
The GT-R range offers a series of friction materials able to meet a wide range of driving types. They offer optimum performance in various driving conditions, both on and off the track. In addition to the High Performance road pads, pads with racing/track friction material are also available.
In order to guarantee correct installation without problems, the GT-R kit includes all the necessary hardware elements such as billet brackets and installation adaptors as well as stainless steel Goodridge brake lines.

For Drivers Who Demand the Utmost From Their Car
Designed and tested specifically for track-day enthusiasts and drivers who demand the utmost performance from their cars, these kits offer superlative performance for both everyday driving and demanding track-day sessions. Brembo kits consist of cross-drilled or slotted, ventilated two-piece discs and aluminium calipers with four pistons; a complete set of high performance pads; metal-braided hoses; and high quality hardware.
Solutions and Technologies Born on the Race Track
Braking systems consisting of motorsports-derived components offering levels of technology and performance without par on the market today and embodying the purest expression of Brembo's state-of-the-art technology.
The kit consists of aluminium calipers with opposed pistons which, depending on the car model and in increasing order of performance, may be composite, monoblock or even billet monobloc components, combined with cross-drilled or slotted one-piece or composite oversized discs.
Brembo kits combine the best solutions available to offer the perfect solution for the individual characteristics of each model. The heart of the kit consists of aluminium calipers. These are also available as monoblock parts machined from a single billet of cast aluminium, which ensure outstanding rigidity and minimised deformation. The discs supplied in the kit, which may either be floating or one-piece, depending on the specific car model, feature an exclusive venting system that improves cooling capacity and increases resistance to cracking caused by thermal shock by over 40%.
Cross-drilled and slotted finishes are designed and executed with meticulous precision. These holes or slots in the braking surface help dissipate heat and eliminate brake dust and gases. A set of high-performance brake pads with specific friction materials for each application, TÜV/DOT homologated metal-braided hoses, an adapter and high-quality fastener hardware complete the kit.
More Braking Torque and Thermal Capacity on Track
Using radial-mounted fixed calipers together with oversized discs gives the system greater braking torque and superior thermal capacity. The result is a braking action that is noticeably more immediate and decisive even in normal road usage, and is extraordinarily powerful and consistent under the repeated loads of track use.
Fixed calipers improve the durability and efficiency of the system: the opposed multiple pistons act on the pads with more precision, due to the smaller piston diameter and the reduced pressure exerted on each individual piston, while the greater overall surface area between the pads and pistons results in more uniform friction surface wear. The superlative stiffness of the calipers and the metal braided hoses reduce brake fluid absorption. The result is improved, more stable brake pedal pressure, making it possible to modulate braking force more precisely and enhancing pedal feel.
Featuring a hat in aluminium alloy, the oversized floating disc system reduces unsprung mass (for improved handling) and thermal stress. The mounting system is engineered to permit a greater degree of both radial and axial float.
This characteristic, together with the greater dimensions of the braking rotor surface, improves the dispersion of the heat generated by the repeated, intense thermal stress that the discs are subjected to, for consistent braking performance and pedal feel even after numerous laps on the track.
Eye-Catching and Unique Looks
With a combination of painted calipers (available in red, yellow, black or silver) flaunting the Brembo logo, and slotted or cross-drilled discs, the Gran Turismo kit gives an unmistakably sporty, eye-catching look to the car, offering that extra special touch for drivers who want their vehicle to stand out from the crowd.
Catering to the more discerning driver is the GT-R line of kits. These offer even more performance and consist of billet-monoblock calipers, slotted discs in diameters up to 405 mm and special high performance pads.
