Brembo 00-03 Z8 (E52) Rear GT BBK 4 Piston Cast 2pc 345x28 2pc Rotor Slotted Type-1-Black

The 345x28mm two-piece rotors on this Brembo GT Big Brake Kit are cast from a high-carbon iron alloy, a material chosen for its ability to handle heat without warping. This rear brake kit is specifically for the 2000-2003 BMW Z8 (E52), designed to significantly improve your car's stopping power and heat management.

This kit includes four-piston calipers, which offer more clamping force than stock calipers, working in conjunction with the larger, slotted rotors. The two-piece rotor design allows the rotor and hat to expand and contract independently, reducing stress and the risk of cracking under extreme heat. The Type-1 slots are machined into the rotor surface to help vent gases and dust away from the pad surface, ensuring consistent braking performance even during repeated hard stops. The calipers themselves are finished in black for a clean, performance-oriented look behind your wheels.

When installing a big brake kit like this, it's important to ensure you have adequate clearance within your wheels for the larger calipers and rotors. It's also a good time to consider upgrading your brake fluid to a higher boiling point type to take full advantage of the kit's performance potential. This kit is a substantial upgrade for the Z8, offering a noticeable difference in braking feel and fade resistance.
