Brembo Brake Pads & Big Brake Kits
Brembo is an Italian manufacturer of braking systems for road and motorsport, and the UPGRADE range is the part of its catalogue built for aftermarket fitment. Chicane Australia stocks Brembo GT big brake kits, Pista racing calipers and Sport direct-replacement rotors and pads across Japanese, European and American performance platforms. Kits are engineered around specific chassis, so caliper piston count and disc size vary from model to model.
Shop by Vehicle
Brembo UPGRADE kits and pads are listed by platform below. The correct GT or Pista kit for a BMW M4 is not the same part as the one for a GR86, so choose by chassis code rather than by model name alone. If you cannot see your exact model, get in touch and we can confirm what is available.
Other platforms listed in this collection include Ford Mustang GT (S550/S650), Ford Focus ST / RS (Mk3), VW Golf / GTI / R (Mk5–Mk8), Audi A3 / S3 (8V) and TT / TTS (8J), Renault Megane RS (Mk3), Nissan Silvia / 180SX / 200SX (S13/S14/S15), Toyota GR Yaris and GR Corolla, and Toyota FJ Cruiser 4.0L V6 (GSJ15). See all brands for the wider range.
Shop by Product Type
-
Brembo GT — big brake kits using 4, 6 and 8-piston monobloc calipers with two-piece floating discs, with dust seals for everyday durability and a choice of caliper colours. The most common upgrade path for street and track duty.
-
Brembo Pista — forged racing calipers with hard-anodised finishes, built for dedicated motorsport use and prioritising stiffness, weight saving and heat management over street comfort.
-
Brembo Sport — direct-replacement TY3 slotted or drilled rotors and HP2000 pads for cars keeping their factory calipers.
-
Brembo NAO Ceramic pads — low-dust street pads listed for platforms such as the Audi RS3 (8V) and TT RS (8S), front and rear.
Choosing the Right Part
Brembo UPGRADE parts are chassis-specific, so match your chassis code before ordering. Examples in this collection include Subaru WRX and WRX STI (GC/GD/GR/VA/VB), Subaru BRZ / Toyota 86 / GR86 (ZN6/ZC6/ZN8/ZD8), BMW M2 / M3 / M4 (F87/F80/F82/F83 and G87/G80/G81/G82/G83), BMW M3 (E90/E92/E93) and 1M Coupe (E82), BMW Z4 (E85/E86), Honda Civic Type R (FK8/FL5), Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 4-9 (CN9A/CP9A/CT9A) and Evolution X (CZ4A), Nissan 350Z (Z33), 370Z (Z34) and Z (RZ34), Hyundai i30 N (PD) and i30 N Sedan (CN7), Audi RS3 (8V 2017+), Corvette C7 and C8, and Porsche 911 variants from 996 through to 992.1.
Caliper piston count and disc diameter change between chassis, and front and rear pads are listed separately. Wheel diameter and offset also determine whether a larger caliper and disc package will clear, so check your current wheel and tyre specifications against the kit requirements before ordering. For cars with reasonably strong factory brakes, Brembo Sport TY3 rotors and pads are an option that retains the standard calipers, while GT and Pista step up caliper size and construction.
Installation & What You'll Need
Installation by a qualified professional is strongly recommended — brakes are a safety-critical system and require correct torque, bedding-in and bleeding procedures. Confirm wheel clearance first, including offset and any spacer setup, particularly on builds running smaller aftermarket wheels.
GT and Pista kits intended for track use generally call for a brake fluid rated to a higher temperature, and some kits require longer brake lines depending on suspension travel. On European platforms such as the M3/M4 and RS3, factory brake sensor wiring and pad wear sensors need to be transferred or matched to the new pads. If you are unsure whether a kit suits your current wheel and tyre package, send us the specifications before ordering.
FAQ
What's the difference between Brembo GT and Pista kits?
GT is built for high-performance street use and occasional track days, with dust seals for everyday durability and a range of finishes. Pista is a dedicated motorsport range using forged bodies and hard-anodised finishes, built to save weight and add stiffness for competition rather than daily driving.
Why do Brembo kits use TY3 slotted discs?
The TY3 slot pattern gives strong initial bite and keeps refreshing the pad surface as it wears, clearing gas and debris off the disc face. That helps keep pedal feel consistent when the brakes are working hard.
Will a Brembo big brake kit fit under my wheels?
It depends on wheel diameter and offset. Larger calipers and discs need more clearance, so check your wheel specifications against the kit's requirements before ordering, especially with smaller aftermarket wheels.
Do I need new brake lines or fluid with a Brembo upgrade?
Often yes for track-focused kits. Moving to a GT or Pista setup for regular track use usually means a higher-temperature brake fluid, and some kits require longer lines depending on the suspension setup.
