    Here is an overview for everyone of the MOV'IT brake systems.
    SETuning is the only authorized dealer in the USA for your exotic car!
    Calipers: their monobloc (1-piece) design makes them lighter not least because there are no bolts generating greater stability and higher braking forces from the same size pistons and pads.

    The combination of more stability and an ingenious pad retention system for better brake release adds up to a more sensitive response to your braking commands and superior pedal feel.

    MOV' IT ®'s 2-piece calipers are superior to their conventional counterparts, too, not least on account of their size. Bigger calipers mean bigger pads, greater braking force and lower temperatures.

    MOV' IT ® uses stronger m12 10.9 bolts, the pad retention system is simpler (making for faster pad changes) and the pad guides are instainless steel.

    MOV' IT ® also has Billet Calipers available on their 342x34mm, 370x35mm, 396x36mm+ kits.

    Rotors : made of special steel alloy, MOV' IT ® rotors are all vented with cast not drilled holes. That means no tension, no cracking, no splash shield required, and the perfect ventilation for optimum braking. Special slots make the surface area of the ventilation system much larger than in conventional rotors, keeping temperatures down and durability up.

    Pads : made of a tried and tested organic compound with no aggressive metal parts, these pads keep cool to provide you with outstanding deceleration under hot or freezing cold conditions. Their shorter, thicker design makes for optimum wear patterns.

    With MOV 'IT ® brakes, superior components make for a complete concept providing the ultimate in braking ability. Superior air-flow technology keeps the brakes cool for a longer life and zero fading. Low-maintenance and high-performance MOV' IT ® brakes for road and track.

    Everything here is included with your kit :
    Rotors with cast holes and ventilation slots, aluminium hats, calipers, brake pads, brackets, steel braided brake lines and bolts to mount the kit. The only thing that's not included is brake fluid. Black or Red calipers standard, other colors: $299 extra.

    Applications:
    F-Cars: 348, 355, 360, 400i, 412i, 430, 456gt, 512tr, 550, 575, Mondial, Testarossa
    Lamborghini: Countach, Diablo SE, Diablo VT, Murcielago
    Maserati lots ;)
    Many more available!

    Most kits fit under stock wheels!

    Here are your options: http://setuning.com/ecom/index.php/cPath/567_568_579_1267

    Thanks! its been mine too :)

    no problem kevin :)

    I will contact them to get exact data for you. The monobloc caliper incorporates less parts so it will be lighter for sure. The rotors because of increased size will probably weigh the same.

    And below is the rear kit for the 360. It comes with the replacement pieces for the handbrake :)

    Interesting options. How do these compare to offerings from AP and Brembo?

    Calipers
    For example the Brembo 8-piston, it has small pistons 28/32 mm, four small pads per caliper and a "long" body design. It shows bad response to abs, develops too much heat because of small pads and has a weak body since cast from alsi7 and the design is too long. Yet again they are suitable for a race car with low brake booster power, but not for a heavy and fast car like the performance cars nowdays with high pressure brake booster ( >150 bar)

    MOVIT on the other hand with its 6-piston BILLET design, bigger pistons (34/36/38 mm), longer pads (108 cm²), BILLET CNC machined from highest strength 7075 aluminium and T6 heat treated. The caliper is much stronger than others and will not loose its strength even under high temperatures like cast calipers. Huge pads guarantee low temperatures and less wear of both discs and pads. CNC machined calipers need less space than cast calipers that can be used with a bigger disc under the same rim as the cast calipers. There are bigger pistons to generate immense braking force which in our opinion is needed to stop heavy and fast performance cars.


    Rotors
    Most of the manufactures use friction ring with "normal" ventilation system, 56-60 mm friction ring height, drilled holes (5-6 mm). The rotors again is suitable for a race car, but not for a long term trouble free use on a heavy and fast street car. All cars generate much more heat than a race car, so the rotor will wear out extremly quick. Further more, the holes will crack almost immediately since they are too big and positioned too close to the outer edge of the rotors. There for other manufactures offer only "plain" or "slotted" discs, but the disadvantage is a bad response in wet conditions.

    MOVIT uses friction rings with a special double ventilation system. This gives between 80-100% bigger cooling surface, 68 mm friction ring height and pre-cast holes 4 mm. This generates far lower temperature since the cooling surface is bigger and also since the bigger pad transfers the heat to a bigger surface. This results in longer lifetime of both pads and rotors. The holes last far longer before cracking and WILL NEVER crack to the outside of the rotor which would require an exchange of the rotor. MOVIT rotors are simply designed and concepted for heavy and fast street cars.


    Pads
    As above mentioned MOVIT pads also feature a unique "ANTI-NOISE" system which surpresses any kind of squealing during braking. Designed and concepted for comfortable silent street cars.


    Brackets
    MOVIT brackets are CNC machined from high grade steel compound ( 1.7131 ). "form follows function", a closer look at the brackets it is easily visible that MOVIT makes the strongest but lightest design brackets. They should not only fit perfect, but also be extremely strong and design with no sharp edges. Since the brackets are made from high grade steel compound, they last forever.

    Other brake manufactures offer aluminium brackets, with threads cut into the aluminium. This is dangerous, since aluminium is aging, meaning that it can crack. Also, the thread cut into the aluminium will not last long, if a unskilled person tries to tighten the bolt that holds the caliper. This thread will easily wear, especially when a securing compound as Loctite or simlar is used. As always, MOVIT goal is lifetime and easy use. Since we have to TÜV-approve our brake kits, there is another reason why to use high grade steel compound.


    Hope that helps ;)

    Only reason for that is that it's because they are the same ones as the 348.

    Someone does need to make some 328 brakes though. I think Brembo is working on it last I heard.

    Eric....you should also let potential customers know the cost of consumables (pads & rotors) since these are proprietary to Movit and must come from Germany.

    Movit makes great brakes and I wish you luck with it....but with the cost of product liability insurance (as the importer, you're the first in line in case of a lawsuit), poor exchange rates and a few other factors which I won't get into, I let the line go 2 years ago.

    Even with these costs, a complete Movit kit may still come in cheaper than factory replacement parts. You may want to investigate this further and use this as a selling point on your website. Steve D

    WOW...what an interesting thread.
    I'm curious where this information is coming from???

    Besides the fact that 90% of the technical information is untrue and mostly fabricated...the remaining information used in his comparisons are not even relevant.

    For starters...Brembo has been the OEM brake supplier for Ferrari for the last couple decades. They have been involved in Ferrari's racing history for even longer than that. For anyone to begin to make claims that they have a "better" braking system for a Ferrari vehicle, they better have the data and testing to be able to back it up.

    Brembo has over 400 engineers dedicated to high performance braking. In 2005 they spent over 54 MILLION dollars on research and development. That amount is more than the gross sales of all the other "high performance" brake manufacturers combined. Including AP (who is owned by Brembo) and Alcon.

    Now, I could spend the next hour or so of my day picking apart all of the misinformation in his entire post but that would be a waste of time.
    -The fact that he didn't even take the small amount of time needed to know that we do not even use the 8-piston caliper for any of our Ferrari application shows he's just trying to sound smart rather than be smart.
    -The fact that his reference to piston sizes ("Brembo's small 28x32mm pistons...MOViT's bigger pistons, 34x36x38mm") actually prove that the 8-piston caliper has the larger amount of piston area shows lack of basic knowledge of braking.
    -The fact that he is willing to post that type of information about rotor's...brackets...and caliper specs without any sort of technical data makes me wonder where the information is even coming from.
    I'll give Eric@setuning the benefit of the doubt and guess that he may have just been posting information that he received from a third party

    So instead of wasting my time any longer, I'd rather just let you know...
    Brembo doesn't consider MOViT to be a competitor...Neither should you.

    I didn't want to quote your whole post for space saving reasons, but the last part basically summed it up.
    I'm happy with my AP's, and would only consider Brembo as a suitable alternative if switching brake companies. Indeed, Eric may have been reposting third party info, so we can't jump to any conclusions.

    Gary,

    Thanks for chiming in and appreciate your participation here. BTW, use Brembo larger front brakes on the 308 here and love 'em on the street and they really do amazing on the many track days.
