Brembo 01-07 C-Class Rear GT BBK 4 Piston Cast 2pc 328x28 2pc Rotor Slotted Type1-Red

Brembo is a name synonymous with high-performance braking systems, and their GT Big Brake Kits are a testament to that reputation. This rear kit is designed for the 2001-2007 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, offering a significant upgrade over the factory setup. It’s built for drivers who demand more from their braking system, whether on the track or during spirited driving on public roads. This kit replaces your stock rear brakes with a robust, multi-piston caliper and a larger, slotted rotor assembly, engineered to handle increased heat and provide more consistent stopping power.

At the heart of this kit are the 4-piston cast aluminum calipers. These calipers offer increased clamping force compared to your original equipment, which translates to better brake pedal feel and shorter stopping distances. They are paired with a 2-piece rotor design, measuring 328mm in diameter and 28mm thick. The 2-piece construction helps manage heat more effectively by allowing the rotor and hat to expand independently, reducing the risk of warping. The rotors themselves are slotted, featuring Brembo's Type 1 slot pattern. These slots help to sweep away dust and gas that can build up between the pad and rotor surface, maintaining optimal friction and preventing fade under heavy use.

Installation of a Big Brake Kit like this typically involves replacing the entire rear caliper and rotor assembly. While it's a direct bolt-on for the intended C-Class models, it's a job that requires careful attention to detail and proper bleeding of the brake system. This kit is a substantial investment in your vehicle's performance and safety, providing a noticeable improvement in braking performance and durability for demanding driving conditions.
