A while back there was a post showing a Tungsten GT with some new Yellow Brembo Brake calipers on the rear. I tried to find it via the "Search" but no such luck ?? Anyone know who's car that was.? I have a question for the owner.. Thx,

They were not Brembo's, but just the factory brakes repainted.

The stock factory brakes are made by Brembo and are the same as use on a Aston Martin.

For some reason other then the color they looked different from the factory calipers? I would like to find the post if anyone remembers it. Thx.

He is correct. It was an aftermarket Brembo brake kit. It was a 6 piston front brake setup. The thread was deleted for some reason. Some people thought he was misrepresenting the kit or something, and some words were exchanged, and now the thread is a memory. You should be able to get the kit from any Brembo dealer.
It is only a front kit. They do not have the rear kit available, and may never even do it. There was a problem in developing the rear kit due to the parking brake caliper. SP painted the rear to match the new fronts.
The person that posted it is Mark from SP Engineering. The car belongs to the owner of SP. Hope that helps! :biggrin

Brian,

How is the new car? Have you had a chance to drive it this week? What do you think?
