Has anyone installed Brembo brake kit?
Wandering if anyone bought the Brembo brake kit made for the rx7 FD. How is the brake bias? Does it go wirh the stock rear brakes or would it be better with the sakebomb rear brake kit? Would like to know what would be a good brake setup with front Brembo brake kit.
Also trying to find the piston diameter on the Brembo calipers. |
Honestly, you would be much better off just getting the Sakebomb brake kit. It is track proven and supports one of our forum vendors who is constantly reinvesting in new products for our aging vehicles.
They may not be Brembo calipers, but they are as good or better quality. Vince |
I just happened to bought a used Brembo brake kit for a sweet deal. I wouldn't buy the kit brand new. Too much money

I think Fritz Flynn runs the GT Brembo kit. Maybe he will chime in. |

Big reds/porsche 993 turbo brakes (also brembo) pretty much the same kit Stop tech also best bang for the buck AP racing (m2 kit) likely similar to sakebomb kit. Biggest diff is sakebombs kit has thicker pads and rotors so it should last longer but also heavier. Wilwood superlite (6 piston cheap nascar calipers) very light weight but fluid will get hot on a short course. |
Are you running stock rear brakes? Or some other rear brake setup?
|
FYI
Stock Pistons are 36/36 Brembo GT: 36/40 Big Reds: 36/44 StopTech (standard): 36/30, 36/34 for '99 rears *note, the size of the rotors used figures into the balance relative to the rear. I'm actually using the Racing Brake large rotor/bracket rear (which is larger than '99), with the standard/OE sized StopTech fronts. |

The bias is probably a little better on the stoptech kit but IMO the brembo kit feels better and they are safer/but probably slower (as in fronts lock 1st). Again the brembo GT kit designed for the FD is a great BBK and you should be happy! |
Thanks for the replys and appreciate the information. I'm gonna see if I can upgrade my rear brakes to 99 brakes. I'm guessing the sakebomb rear brake kit would not be a good combo with the front Brembo brakes since that kit was made for the ap racing brake kit
|
good info, thinking about pulling trigger on the brembo kit as well
|
There is also the Brembo GTR kit: https://www.racetechnologies.com/pro...ts/gt-3k-8039a
Cost is around 6k usd 4 Piston calipers Pistons are 30/36 355x32 14" rotors (18" wheels probably minimum) |
love that GTR kit, but as with all race calipers, you need to remove it in order to swap pads. Tough for a street/track car.
