Brembo Brake Rotors

Answer 1

Anyone whose goal is to enhance the ability and overall performance of a high performance vehicle's braking system wisely considers Brembo brake rotors as a must-have component.

Brembo was established in 1961 in Italy, then expanded to North America in the 1980s. They are typically found as OEM equipment on German performance vehicles such as BMW, Porche and Mercedes Benz. Of course, having sprung up in Italy, Brembo brake rotors are standard equipment of exotic super cars such as Ferrari.

In the United States, they are beginning to show up on top-of-the-line versions of the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Corvette and the Dodge Viper. Several other performance versions of cars produced by American manufacturers are also sporting Brembo.

Brembo established its reputation by consistently winning at the race track, whether it was motorcycles, Formula 1, CART or NASCAR.

Today, Brembo rotors are offered as part of an extensive line that accommodates everything from direct OEM replacement parts to high performance upgrades. They produce over 25 million rotors per year in enough different designs that practically any disc brake equipped vehicle can experience the benefit of these high quality race-inspired and tested rotors.

Brembo replacement rotors are surprisingly affordable. Just because they make some monstrously powerful brake systems for high performance street and racing applications doesn't mean that the owner of a pickup or SUV can't have the advantage that Brembo rotors provide. Front rotors for many vehicles can be had for well under $100 each. A recent check of local outlets showed that front rotors for a Jeep Grand Cherokee could be purchased for about $75. When you read reviews that show everyday people getting 80K+ miles from a set of Brembo rotors, far in excess of the mileage of typical aftermarket replacement rotors, not to mention the savings in labor from only having to replace rotors once, this is truly a bargain, one that will give you superior braking performance to go along with it.

Brembo brake rotors have earned a legitimate reputation for high quality that is steadily growing as more and more manufacturers have changed car building philosophies from making cheap, disposable vehicles and parts, instead incorporating the ideas of high quality and durability, and Brembo plays a large role in this new philosophy.
