Brembo 05-11 G55 AMG Front GT BBK 8 Piston Cast 380x34 2pc Rotor Slotted Type-1-Black

The 380x34mm two-piece rotors in this Brembo GT Big Brake Kit are cast iron, a material chosen for its ability to handle the heat generated during aggressive braking. This kit is specifically designed for the 2005 through 2011 Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG, offering a significant upgrade over the factory braking system. The kit includes an 8-piston caliper, which provides more clamping force and better pad distribution across the rotor surface compared to smaller calipers. This translates to more consistent and powerful stopping, especially under demanding conditions.

Brembo's GT Big Brake Kits are built for vehicles that see a lot of hard use, whether that's spirited driving on winding roads or track days. The calipers themselves are a cast aluminum construction, which is strong yet lightweight, helping to reduce unsprung weight. The rotors feature a Type-1 slotting pattern, which helps to keep the pad surface clean and dissipate heat and gases more effectively than a plain rotor. This means you get a more reliable and responsive pedal feel, even after repeated hard stops. The two-piece rotor design also helps to manage heat and allows for rotor replacement without needing to replace the entire caliper assembly.

When installing a kit like this, it's important to ensure you have the correct tools and follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully. This kit is a substantial upgrade and is intended to work with your vehicle's existing ABS and stability control systems. While this kit is designed as a direct fit for the specified G55 AMG models, it's always a good idea to confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle's wheel size, as the larger calipers and rotors may require a minimum wheel diameter. This kit represents a significant investment in your vehicle's performance and safety, offering a level of braking capability that far exceeds stock equipment.
