Brakes. They’re the last components you want to worry about when you’re driving, especially when performance driving. F-Sport Brake Upgrades help improve fade resistance during repeated, severe use, as well as offer a firmer, positive pedal feel. When used with other F-Sport Performance Accessories, they also improve stopping distances*. They’ve been designed with the utmost care to maintain original equipment (OE) brake balance and ABS compatibility, using different piston diameters to optimize clamping force. Fixed-style, forged-aluminum 6-piston front and 4-piston rear calipers are utilized, with a bolt-in bridge arrangement to achieve a stiffness equivalent to mono-bloc caliper designs.
The two-piece brake rotor design also reduces weight thanks to rotors that are attached to aluminum center hubs using special fasteners to accommodate the heat expansion of dissimilar metals. And large cross-drilled, vented cast iron rotors use a patented directional internal fin arrangement with unique right-hand and left-hand castings that help increase cooling and strength.
Finished in F-Sport blue with white F-Sport logos, the upgraded brakes are unmistakably dramatic. An aggressive visual appearance is also achieved with noticeably larger calipers and rotors that can be seen easily through the wheel spokes. Center hubs have a special anodized finish for corrosion resistance. Please note that the OE spare tire will not work with either front or rear brake upgrades.
Does not apply to GS models equipped with 17" wheels.
