The Brembo 1Q1.9616A2 GT Big Brake Kit represents the pinnacle of high-performance braking technology, specifically engineered for Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG and G65 AMG (W463) vehicles. This system is designed for high thermal resistance and precise brake modulation, featuring lightweight 2-piece discs that increase thermal capacity to dramatically reduce brake fade.
GT | BM8 Monoblock Caliper Technology:
The aluminum monobloc calipers are the heart of the kit, machined from a single billet of aluminum cast in Brembo's foundry, ensuring outstanding rigidity and minimized deformation. The BM8 8-piston configuration delivers exceptional clamping force with superior pad contact uniformity. These calipers feature internal fluid lines rather than conventional external rigid pipe connections, with an invisible bleeding screw that fits better within the overall design and ensures greater safety.
412x38mm 2-Piece Drilled Rotors:
The massive 412mm diameter by 38mm thick 2-piece ventilated rotors provide maximum thermal capacity and braking torque. Cross drilled discs are designed to run at a lower temperature and help clear away water and debris, creating consistent contact between the rotor and pad. The discs feature a unique ventilation system that improves cooling capacity and increases resistance to cracking caused by thermal shock by over 40%.
Complete Performance System:
- Fixed 8-piston opposed piston calipers in high-visibility red powder coat finish with Brembo logo
- Front axle application with radial mounting for maximum rigidity
- High-performance brake pads optimized for the specific friction requirements
- Stainless steel braided brake lines for improved pedal feel and response
- CNC-machined billet caliper mounting brackets and all necessary hardware
- Fully compatible with factory ABS and traction control systems
Performance Benefits:
Using radial-mounted fixed calipers together with oversized discs gives the system greater braking torque and superior thermal capacity, resulting in braking action that is noticeably more immediate and decisive even in normal road usage, and extraordinarily powerful and consistent under repeated loads of track use. The superlative stiffness of the calipers and metal braided hoses reduce brake fluid absorption, resulting in improved, more stable brake pedal pressure and enhanced pedal feel.
Important Fitment Note:
The Brembo BM8 is physically one of the largest calipers in the world and requires 22-inch wheels as a safe minimum for barrel clearance. Verify wheel clearance before installation using Brembo's fitment templates.
Designed and tested specifically for track day enthusiasts and drivers who demand maximum performance from their vehicles, this Brembo GT system delivers superlative braking performance for both spirited street driving and demanding track sessions.
