Brembo Gets Key GM Fitments With New Technology

Brembo unveiled new dual-cast brake rotors and announced two new OE fitments. The performance brake system manufacturer earned OE spots on the 2009 Cadillac CTS-V and the 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. The Cadillac fitment will feature a Brembo brake system with six-piston, aluminium monobloc calipers and 14.6-inch dual-cast rotors in front and four-piston aluminium calipers and 14.4-inch one-piece rotors in the rear.

Brembo said that unlike traditional cast iron discs, dual-cast discs are made of two materials – cast iron and aluminium – which provides a 15-20 per cent reduction in weight, greater driving comfort, less corrosion and wear, and resistance to fade. The Corvette ZR1 will be fitted with Brembo’s carbon ceramic brake rotors, with six-piston front and four-piston rear aluminium monobloc calipers with a Corvette logo; cross-drilled stainless steel radiators; semi-metallic friction materials; and cross-drilled carbon ceramic rotors (15.5-inch fronts and 15-inch rears).

GP Automotive Endorses Brembo OE Initiative

GP Automotive has extended its range of Brembo brake discs and is firmly backing the brand’s new OE initiative, which will provide matching quality part numbers that conform to original equipment specifications.

The initiative – OE Code to Specification (OCTS) – has been launched following the tradition of vehicle assemblers (VAs) to create new part numbers for discs that fit the same vehicle application types on shared platforms. In response to this and to counter the misconception of quality in aftermarket parts, Brembo will create a new part number for such applications. This, Brembo believes, will strengthen the aftermarket’s position in supplying OE quality braking products, fit to specification.
