Brembo's GT systems are designed and tested specifically for track day enthusiasts and for drivers who demand the utmost performance from their cars. These kits offer superlative performance for both normal driving and demanding track day sessions.

The heart of the kit consists of monoblock calipers machined from a single billet of cast aluminium, which ensure outstanding rigidity and minimised deformation. The discs supplied in the kit feature an exclusive venting system that improves cooling capacity and increases resistance to cracking caused by thermal shock by over 40%. Cross-drilled and slotted finishes are designed and executed with meticulous precision. These holes or slots in the braking surface help dissipate heat and eliminate brake dust and gases.

Type III brake discs have a motorsport developed face with an emphasis on a high initial response while maintaining a smooth pedal release.

Benefit: The highest overall braking confidence, control and allows the driver to spend less time on the brake pedal. When chasing the fastest lap time, less time on the brake pedal typically leads to a quicker lap time.
Drawback: Any disc with an aggressive face type like the Type III will have a higher chance to mechanically abrade the pad and disc surface leading to quicker or uneven pad wear. However, this really depends on variables such as car setup or track layout.

Slotted brake discs put an emphasis on stable brake feel and improve resilience against thermal cracking.

Benefit: Stable braking feel at all temperatures, low disc wear, and continuously refreshing the braking surface for optimum performance.
Drawback: They have the lowest “initial response” or “bite” compared to cross-drilled or Type III discs.

Cross-drilled brake discs are suitable for a wide range of applications, operating temperatures and driving environments (especially wet weather).

Benefit: They offer the highest initial response of all the available disc face types, while continuously refreshing the braking surface and being also typically a bit lighter.
Drawback: Cross-drilled discs are generally more prone to heat checking and thermal cracking if used consistently at extremely high temperatures. This, however, really depends on the track, driver, and chassis setup.

FK8 Brembo hubcentric kit

Applications:

2006-11 Honda Civic (8th Generation)

2012-15 Honda Civic (9th Generation)

2 x Hubcentric spacers made from aerospace grade aluminum

2 x Custom 330mm rotors for the Honda Civic Type R (FK8)

2 x M14 bolts

What if I already have your TL-S Hubcentric kit?

You will only need the Aerogenics 330mm rotor, 2 x M14 bolts, and CTR FK8 Brembo calipers. The brake lines will bolt straight up to the CTR FK8 caliper and the brake pads are interchangeable.

Requirements:

Bore knuckle for M14 bolts
Extended studs
Honda Civic Type R Brembo Caliper (FK8)

Front Right Caliper 45018-TV8-E01
Front Left Caliper 45019-TV8-E01

Brake Pads are interchangeable with Acura TL-S Brembo
Brake fluid
Acura TL-S brake master cylinder (highly recommended)

Off road use only. Verify part numbers before ordering.

Does the Civic Type R have Brembo brakes?

Heart-stopping engine power is matched with precise stopping power. Power assisted, ventilated and cross drilled front disc brakes with Brembo four-piston aluminum calipers to help minimize disc warping that can be generated during heavy braking.

Are Brembo brake worth it?

The Brembo brake system braked better under all conditions with shorter braking distances than the Golf stock brakes. It was also better at withstanding the extreme stresses of the test and the drop in performance caused by the increase in thermal load was much less than the stock brakes.

Can you put Brembo brakes on any car?

The perfect spare part for every vehicle. Brembo offers every vehicle the quality and performance of a global leader in braking systems.

What's so special about Brembo brakes?

The Brembo fixed calipers, in addition to their characteristic performance and design, are able to confer weight reduction and residual torque advantages to the cars, resulting in lower fuel consumption and therefore lower emissions. As previously explained, the friction coefficient affects the braking torque.
