    The OEM brakes on the R8 are more than enough!

    Re: Brembo Brake Kit

    that is true..
    but brembo's big brake kit looks so much more agressive than the OEM R8's brakes although they are both drilled.

    i think the r8 comes with 355mm brakes correct?

    It's steel right? If upgrading, I would only go for ceramics.
    No more R8...Jing jing sold after a year with only 7000km. A people mover as replacement.

    ceramics are great on wear and tear,
    but you can only take advantage of them if you're tracking your car.
    the steel ones are more than enough for everyday driving.
    and is more eye catching than ceramics

    It would be great if you could have the R8 brakes bright red like Bembro. Brake callipers really stand out when your moving and the spokes blur out.

    Re: Brembo Brake Kit

    Same feeling here...
    Waiting to hear from the dealer tomorrow if they can have it painted in red.. they are not sure they can deliver a 100% perfect job (especially with the R8 logo in black). I hope it works...
