Behold the 13.1" Brembo Upgrade for the STi

In2Deep · 03-19-2004, 03:34 PM

Like the title says the fronts are 13.1 inch two piece rotors that are 4.5lbs lighter than stock and is paired up with the top of the line Brembo GT caliper in red.

The stock rear calipers were painted red to match and paired up with the drilled brembo rotors with steel braided brake lines on all four corners.

This car like mine will be getting the custom up-pipe, down-pipe with external wastegate and T3/T4E turbo system.

The suspension is Progress

Mario, that looks SICK!

Are those 2-piece Brembos the same as these?

No, these are the GT's up front and the rears are actually one piecers.

that is sexy
how much performance increase you notice in terms of braking power and reduction from rotational intertia?

WE_R_ND · 03-19-2004, 07:58 PM

Looks great, 4.5lbs is huge. Also, love the gold flakes in the paint in the second pic

Thorn · 03-19-2004, 08:21 PM

Those look awesome, nice job.

In2Deep · 03-20-2004, 07:32 AM

I wish I had the type of electronics needed to monitor/record/log the performance increase 8) plus you have to admit they do look amazing... and they do set you apart from the herd

Can us lowly Sti owners just get those front discs and use our OEM calipers?

Any links and prices?

ksikyat2000 · 03-22-2004, 11:09 AM

the msrp on that kit just for the front for our cars is 2995.00!!!!

you have GOT to be kidding. (let's se, $3000 at 10% for 30yrs = $53k) you'd better do a hell of a lot of serious tracking for that kind of money

My car already came with Brembo's. I'll pass. :wink:

I checked the cost of just the (Brembo) drilled rotors that fit the stock STi calipers, $810.00. That's a lot of coin that could be better spent else where (like the suspension). I have to admit it does look very nice.

Well you are right if you do some minor tracking and hard street driving. The average person will never fully take advantage of our factory brakes cause it is not only about stopping distance but our brakes also provide much less brake fade compared to braking system on other cars. If you are a serious tracker, these might be worth it because u should also consider u can sell the factory STi brakes for the front for between 1200-1400 bones.

TreyS · 03-22-2004, 01:07 PM

Yeah, I was just interested in the front rotors only. I will say that the OEM setup is very nice with different pads, fluid and lines. No fade at all this past weekend at lil Talladega.

I was thinking the rotors would be nice when it's time to replace the OEM ones, might be soon tho.

I chewed into the OEM rotors with the dead R4S pads on the way home from the track.

Need to remember to bring my extra set of pads next time....
