Brembo Brakes for F40

Found a full brake system for F40 , will it fit F40 OEM wheels ?
Or I also have 18" Neez wheels. (Tab Corsa)
Thanks

They will NOT fit the OEM 17" wheels, but they WILL fit the 18" Neez wheels. If you are going to track the car, then I highly recommend putting the bigger Brembo brakes (also called the F50 or 360GT brake package) along with the dual master cylinders, and using the Neez wheels full time. If at some point you sell the car, leave the dual master cylinders in place and just put in the OEM brakes and wheels.

 

Thanks Arjun, no links to the sites ? cause I searched and have many different types for F50 also as 360 Gt models .... Brakes packages

 

Check directly with Brembo and you will find that the F40 big brake kit and the F50 and the 360GT brakes have the same part numbers.

 

By the way is it worth changing standard brakes to This Brembo ? Cause I will not race on track on this car . Mine sometimes is squizzing now.


Also it's the same big Brembo kit what you are talking about ?

I think on photo it's a GT-R kit , as I understand front and rear sizes are the same, only difference in sizes GT and GT-R

GT-R model is 380x32 , and GT 355x32

both braking kits (GT or GT-R) will fit ok with my 18" wheels ?

On photo there is also black small caliper ? It's OEM from standard F40 brake system ?


p.s with this brake system he use only one not 2 cylinders as I understand this 1 is OEM

Use the 355mm brake. I can't vouch for the 380mm brake because I haven't test fit them with the Neez wheels, whereas I have for the 355mm size.

 

Also, who in their right mind gets 380mm brakes but keeps the stock single master cylinder? Damn posers.

 

+1!

On my GTE, when JB Racing was reffiting the brakes, they were obliged to replace completely them, so as there was no more 8 cylinders brakes available from Brembo, they put simply the one coming from 575 GTC that they were racing at this time in GT1 in Europe, perfect! (380 mm disks obviously with 18 " wheels)

 

Lol )) difference in 1 and 2 as I understand only in Feeling when you press brake pedal ?
For street use I think with 1 it's ok ?

By the way should I need to buy extra parts (first photos in this thread) I will not use 2 master cylinder , will leave my OEM.

1). But on some photos I can see that new set comes with small Hoses (attached photo), but this set doesn't have it.
As I understand I can't use OEM hoses.

2). Also should I need to put OEM small black caliper ? On the rear.

3). Which hoses I can buy ? As you said I can buy hoses from 360 ? Found this \/

4). Also this calipers are 8 pots and rear 4 pots (hoses will be ok for them from 360)

5). I heard that 8 pots no longer produced will it be hard to find brake pads for them ?

I'd strongly urge you to reconsider point on stock master cylinder:

 

Saw many F40 with 380mm calipers and only with 1 master cylinder. I think if you use it on track , yes you need to have 2 for maximum braking but on street use its not so necessary I think.

Also guys could you please answer about my question ?
Cause I need to understand should I buy this set or not.
Thanks

 

No one ? which hoses I need to buy ? To this setup cause they comes without (((

Any race shop can hook you up with a set of custom hoses if you have the hose fittings (which it seems the kit you are buying does have based on the pictures you have posted). I wouldn't worry about that when it comes to the brakes.

The bigger question is why get the bigger brakes if the car will see no track use? The stock brakes/pads are fine for street use and don't squeal like a stuck pig when cold/driving at low speeds, that the bigger brakes/race pads do. I think the F40 looks best on the stock 17" wheels - if you're not tracking the car, keep the stock wheels and brakes.

 

Thanks Arjun,

But I like more 18" wheels and I think it just for myself that the look for me will be better with Red Calipers and big brakes on 18" wheels ) lol , I understand it's just a poser thing , but I like the look

 

Arjun, btw is it hard to put Twin Master cylinder, will my Ferrari Dealer can do that ?
I bought this set and now need to install it , any additional parts I need to buy to install this twin master cylinder ?
Or I just need to put off OEM single cylinder and insert this 2 master cylinder box ?

the best solution for a F40 brakes are the solution from my car, brembo kit with bosch ABS system, definitely system to stop our car in perfect conditions, also in wet....
the great advantage is possible to put off and use without assistance

 

Thanks, but what about my kit ?
About my question ?

Thanks

 

I our case we keep the OM master cylinder, with one piston

 

So you suggest not to change to dual master cylinder and leave a single ? With my new brake system ?

Thanks

 

in our case yes we keep the om master cylinder and the stop power are very good, but my car is different

 

Hi!

Any developments? You already installed the new brakes?

 

Not yet, waiting for delivery of the wheels.
Because OEM wheels will not fit this brakes.
