Are Brembos made out of gold?

Why are these aftermarket calipers and bbk so expensive? Does it really make your stop faster or is it just because Brembos name is on it? Any real differences for 2k?.

Lol the response above isn't much help is it!

Brakes serve one function, and that is to convert energy into heat, and then dissapate that heat quickly. A bigger rotor provides more surface area, bigger calipers (6 and 8 piston) also provide more surface area (obviously). Unless you are doing heavy autoX there's not much need for a BBK other than the fact that their sexy as hell and very aesthetically complementing. You can get used OEM Brembo here or on my350z.com for under $1000 which in my opinion isn't half bad if your looking for a good mod to get a bit more ballsy in the corners of your local track.

There's endless forum discussion about benefits, costs, and usefulness across many different styles of cars. Just do a quick Google search (or ask Siri if you're one of those people!)
