The Brembo 1M1.8049AR GT-R Big Brake Kit represents the pinnacle of high-performance braking technology, engineered with decades of racing experience to deliver exceptional stopping power for both street and track use. Developed specifically for select high-performance applications including Porsche, Ferrari, BMW, Chevrolet Corvette, and Camaro, this system provides a significant upgrade over factory braking components.
Advanced Caliper Design:
The GT-R system features precision-machined billet monobloc calipers available in 4, 6, or 8-piston configurations with sequentially sized pistons for optimized brake force distribution. These forged racing calipers are lighter and slimmer than standard Brembo GT calipers, achieving up to 10 percent weight reduction compared to cast versions while providing superior stiffness and thermo-mechanical resistance. The pistons incorporate stainless steel inserts that create an additional heat barrier, virtually eliminating brake fade even during maximum-limit driving and extended track sessions.
Two-Piece Floating Rotor Technology:
The kit includes Brembo's advanced two-piece floating rotor assemblies with slotted, directionally vented designs that reduce unsprung weight and dissipate heat more efficiently than one-piece rotors. The floating hat and rotor configuration minimizes thermal stress transfer and ensures consistent performance under extreme conditions.
Complete System Components:
- Forged 4, 6, or 8-piston racing calipers with sequentially sized pistons in monoblock or 2-piece construction depending on application
- Ventilated titanium piston inserts for enhanced heat management (most GT-R applications)
- Two-piece floating hat and rotor assemblies with directional venting and slotting
- DOT and TÜV certified Goodridge stainless steel brake lines with lifetime guarantee
- High-performance brake pads available in street or race compounds
- Floating anti-rattle rotor hardware originally developed for the McLaren F1 road car
- Precision-machined billet mounting brackets with aircraft-quality hardware
Premium Finish and Performance Benefits:
The nickel-plated caliper finish provides superior corrosion resistance and an aggressive, professional appearance. The advanced caliper design reduces brake fluid absorption and delivers a firmer, more responsive pedal feel with consistent clamping force, allowing drivers to brake later and with greater confidence.
Important: Proper wheel fitment verification is critical before installation. Measure your wheels carefully to ensure adequate clearance for the larger caliper and rotor assembly.
