Brembo Upgrade embodies the exclusive world of Brembo, made of thrilling performance, unmistakable style, and pure automotive passion, all designed for your Ford. From the racetrack to the open road, Brembo embraces the challenge of innovation and design with fervor. The extraordinary successes achieved on global circuits now directly translate into the enhancement of your Ford’s braking system, elevating its aesthetics, functional capabilities, and overall reliability.
The offering includes the Brembo Gran Turismo (GT) kit – a complete package with calipers, pads, discs, mounting brackets, hoses, and hardware – ensuring excellent stopping power for everyday use and impeccable safety during high-intensity track sessions. Complementing this is the Brembo Pista kit – including racing calipers, dedicated discs, brackets, hoses, and accessories – specifically engineered for track use.
Brembo Gran Turismo (GT) brake systems are the ideal choice for those who want to push their Ford’s performance to a higher level without any compromise on safety. These are full brake systems composed of components directly derived from the motorsport world, offering an unparalleled level of technology on the market and representing the pinnacle of Brembo’s cutting-edge engineering.
These systems employ aluminum calipers with specific and progressive clamping forces, calibrated according to the vehicle’s original braking system. These calipers pair with oversized discs, also featuring dedicated technical characteristics. Designed and rigorously tested specifically for track-day enthusiasts and drivers demanding the absolute maximum from their car’s performance, these systems guarantee superior capabilities and an authentic sporty look. Brembo systems are engineered to provide the perfect solution, adapting to the individual characteristics of each Ford: they use aluminum calipers with radial mounting and an opposed-piston configuration.
Depending on the specific system chosen and in ascending order of performance, calipers can be two-piece, made in a monoblock, or even machined from a single solid aluminum block. The oversized discs, in turn, can be monolithic or two-piece and available in drilled or slotted designs.
Greater Braking Power and Optimized Thermal Resistance on the Road
The adoption of fixed, radially mounted calipers and the installation of oversized discs provide the braking system with superior braking torque and remarkable thermal management. The tangible result is more responsive and efficient braking, a benefit already clearly appreciated in normal road use, but even more evident and crucial when the vehicle is pushed on the track.
Fixed calipers increase the durability and effectiveness of the entire system. In fact, thanks to the use of opposed pistons, they allow a more balanced distribution of force across the pads and more even wear of the friction surfaces, extending component life.
The significant stiffness of the calipers, combined with the use of braided steel hoses, ensures a substantial reduction in brake fluid absorption. This results in a more responsive and stable brake pedal, improving both modulation and the control feel perceived by the driver.
The system with oversized floating discs, thanks to its aluminum alloy bell, helps reduce the vehicle’s unsprung mass (resulting in improved handling) and mitigates heat-induced stress. The mounting mechanism has been engineered to allow optimal float both radially and axially.
This feature, combined with a larger friction surface, allows better dissipation of heat generated by repeated and intense thermal loads to which the discs are subjected. The final result is the consistent maintenance of braking performance and pedal feel, even after numerous high-intensity track laps.
Color is undoubtedly an extremely important distinguishing element of the vehicle, extending even to its smallest details. Brembo places particular emphasis on the use of color to highlight and reinforce the unique character of each vehicle.
Gran Turismo kits, thanks to the combination of expertly painted calipers (available in a choice of vibrant colors such as red, black, silver, or yellow) featuring the prominently displayed Brembo logo, together with drilled or slotted discs, give the vehicle a sporty and irresistibly attractive appearance. This will delight anyone who wants to enhance their Ford’s design and stand out in style.
