Brembo has developed a high performance, Italian-manufactured pad to enhance the performance of stock brake systems. This ultra high performance pad technology, optimized for the street, has resulted in Brembo Sport Pads gaining Original Equipment status on the Corvette Z06, Ford GT and others.

To address the common brake dust and noise issues associated with typical high performance or race pads, Brembo created the Sport pads using FM1000-designated brake pad friction material. This material helps minimize the compromises of an aggressive high performance pad and results in acceptable dust and noise levels for every day pad use. The Brembo compound responds very favorably to aggressive use. The material actually improves after it has been through an initial high temperature heat cycle.

The friction material is a proprietary compound developed specifically for the Brembo OE and high performance programs. It is capable of sustaining a high friction coefficient level over a wide temperature range and is designed for use in high performance on-road applications. The FM1000 pad is classified as an FG material by the SAE J661 standard. The F indicates that the average coefficient of friction is between 0.35 and 0.45 at or below 200° and the G indicates an average coefficient of friction between 0.45 and 0.55 up to 600°F.

NOTE: BRAKES ARE A SAFETY CRITICAL PART OF A MOTOR VEHICLE.

Brake components should be installed by a competent mechanic in a professional manner. Any incorrect installation of brake components can cause a major safety problem or an accident. If you are not a competent and qualified mechanic you should not attempt to install these products, but should take the vehicle to a vehicle dealer or competent automotive mechanic for their installation.

Disc brake pads and rotors are wear items and as such, should be inspected regularly and replaced as necessary. Read More.
