Any one had upgraded the front brakes of 430 with Brembo Gran Turismo monoblock calipers and 2 piece discs.?

why would you need to?

 

my thoughts exactly... Ferrari brakes are already phenomenal...

 

Part Bling and part braking performance. I have not heard directly from a 430 owner yet who has added the Brembo Kit but, I recently spoke with an owner of a 550 who went with new Brembo's who noticed a very nice improvment in braking. Also I believe with this new Monoblock Caliper, which Brembo uses in these kits, is lighter than the stock caliper, reducing unsprung weight. Plus I think a 15" rotor is just impressive to look at. True bigger is not always better but the larger rotor should improve clamping force by having more leverage which, would be valued by someone going with larger diameter wheels as they can reduce braking performance by moving the main portion of rotating mass further away from center/hub. The rotors also may offer better heat disipation with more suface area. The stock 430 Brakes for sure do not need improvement but, if you feel the need to customize, why not?

Tomas? We are still on 6speed, right???

That's like asking why man needs to breathe . . .

 

LOL - I'd spend money on wheels/tires first, exhaust, and then do brakes waaaay later. i take it the stock ferrari coilovers are height adjustable on the newer ones tha tis

 

Today I went to a track day with the 430 and brakes need to be replaced for sure, for street they are ok but for light track you need the new Brembo 6 piston monoblocks and 2 piece discs to get better perf and a little for bling too jijiji.
The new B system is 6 piston front and rear same disc size , I couldn't resist ....jiji
