Brembo 09-16 Panamera/S/4S/Turbo Front GT BBK 6 Piston Cast 405x34 2pc Rotor Slotted Type1-Red

The massive 405x34mm two-piece rotors on this Brembo GT Big Brake Kit are cast from a high-carbon iron alloy, chosen for its ability to handle extreme heat without warping. This kit is built for the Porsche Panamera models from 2009 through 2016, including the S, 4S, and Turbo variants, and features a six-piston caliper design up front. The calipers themselves are cast aluminum, keeping unsprung weight down while providing a solid foundation for the large pads. The rotors are slotted with Brembo's Type 1 pattern, which helps to vent gases and dust away from the pad surface, ensuring consistent stopping power even under heavy use.

This is a serious upgrade for your Panamera, designed to handle the demands of spirited driving and track use. The six-piston calipers offer increased clamping force over stock, working in conjunction with the large rotors to significantly improve braking performance. The two-piece rotor construction allows for better thermal management, as the aluminum hat can dissipate heat independently from the iron friction ring. This design also makes replacement easier down the line, as you can often replace just the rotor ring instead of the entire assembly.

When installing a kit of this caliber, it's important to ensure you have the correct tools and follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully. This kit is designed as a direct replacement for the factory brake system, but it's a substantial change that requires proper setup. You'll notice a dramatic difference in pedal feel and stopping distance, giving you more confidence when you need to slow down quickly.
