Brembo 96-05 550/575 (Excl. GTC) Rear GT BBK 4 Piston Cast 380x28 2pc Rotor Drilled-Red

This Brembo GT Big Brake Kit for the rear of your 1996-2005 550/575 model (excluding GTC variants) includes everything you need to significantly upgrade your braking system. You'll get a pair of Brembo 4-piston cast aluminum calipers, two 380x28mm two-piece brake rotors that are drilled for heat dissipation, and all the necessary hardware to get them installed. This kit is designed to replace your factory rear brake setup with a much more robust and capable system, offering improved stopping power and fade resistance for spirited driving or heavy track use.

The calipers are constructed from cast aluminum, which keeps them strong yet relatively lightweight. The two-piece rotor design features a cast iron friction surface bolted to an aluminum hat. This design helps reduce weight and allows for better thermal management, as the aluminum hat can dissipate heat more effectively than a solid one-piece rotor. The drilled pattern on the rotors helps to vent gases and heat away from the friction surface, which is especially beneficial during prolonged braking events like those experienced on a race track or during aggressive mountain driving. This setup is a substantial upgrade over stock, providing a more consistent and powerful pedal feel.

When installing a big brake kit like this, it's important to ensure you have the correct tools and follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully. While this kit is designed as a direct replacement for the factory rear brakes on the specified models, it's always a good idea to confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle's wheel size, as larger calipers and rotors may require a minimum wheel diameter. This kit is a popular choice for those looking to enhance both the performance and aesthetics of their vehicle's braking system.
