The importance of brakes

Most tuners first focus on enhancing their car’s engine, but there’s something you shouldn’t forget: the brakes. Many drivers overlook how crucial brakes are, especially when the engine’s power is increased.

The standard brakes that your car comes with from the factory are usually fine for everyday traffic. However, once you increase the speed, drive more sportily, or even do laps on a circuit, it becomes a whole different story. Then, it’s wise to take a good look at your brakes. Fortunately, there are countless ways to upgrade your brakes and ensure they are ready for any ride!

Types of upgrades

Starting with sport brake pads, which are better resistant to the high temperatures generated during intense braking. Then there are sport brake discs, often equipped with perforations or grooves that help in dissipating heat and reducing brake fade. You also have braided brake lines. These replace the standard rubber lines that can expand under pressure, giving you a much more direct feel in the brake pedal.

For those who want to go even further, there are big brake kits. These packages are not just an upgrade; they completely transform your braking experience. They include larger brake discs, more powerful brake pads, and sturdier brake calipers that work together to bring your car to a stop quicker and more safely.

Mounted and ready

An example of such an impressive upgrade is what we recently did with our F81CS, where we installed a big brake kit from D1 Spec. The unique M3 was already no slouch in braking, but this kit has drastically changed its performance! It feels like driving a whole new car, with a braking power that nearly pulls you out of your seat!
