All Brembo Big Brake Kits include the calipers, pads, lines, and rotors as needed for a true bolt on installation. If you have questions to whether a kit will fit your car or with your wheels, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Vivid Racing has supported Brembo for a number of years. Most recently, we have used and abused the Brembo big brake kit on our 2001 Porsche 996 Turbo. In the past, we have not only used other brake systems from the competitors, we have tested them on the track and street. Our experience is key to know why Brembo is better then the others. Our other Brembo involved vehicle is our 2007 Porsche 997 Turbo. This vehicle uses Brembo's new 2 piece floating rotor. These rotors are a great upgrade to cars like Porsche that have large factory OEM Brembo brakes, but can benefit from a lightweight 2 piece rotor with McLaren hardware.
Brembo's GT (Grand Tourismo) brake systems combine the best of what they have learned through their dominance in professional racing, with the quality and longevity learned as a leading supplier to the top auto manufactures in the world. The goal was to provide a direct bolt on system offering race like performance with OEM reliability. The Gran Turismo philosophy is to achieve the highest level of performance with the lowest amount of maintenance and best possible longevity. The RACE systems follow the same direct bolt on approach, backed again with vehicle specific engineering, and now the highest level of race division componentry ever made available to the public. Their are many different applications available for vehicles. Everything from 4 piston, the 6 piston monoblock, and even some 8 piston kits as well. For those that require the ultimate in braking, Brembo's GTR (R meaning Race) systems can be custom built to the specifications required by the driver and vehicle.

Ferrari Performance Parts now available at Vivid Racing
Vivid Racing carries many different Ferrari exhaust systems for these cars. Having sold Ferrari exhausts to customers worldwide, we even have our own Ferrari 360 Modena here as a project car. There are several different types of Ferrari exhaust components. Starting from closest to the engine are the headers. Headers are generally restrictive in their tube diameter. Some headers also have catalytic converters on them. Headers can improve horsepower with an improved collector as they merge each individual cylinder tube into the one main pipe which goes to the exhaust system. We carry Ferrari Headers from Agency Power, Fabspeed, Tubi Style, and more.
Depending on which model Ferrari you have, next on the exhaust system is usually the catalytic converters. Eliminating the cats will reduce backpressure and give you a much more free flowing exhaust system. At the same time, this will greatly increase the sound that comes from your Ferrari to be almost like a F1 race car! High flow catalytic converters, sport cats, or cat delete pipes can throw check engine lights, so you might want to consult a Performance Specialist before you buy. We carry Cat Pipes from Fabspeed, Larini, Novitec, Kriessieg, Novitec, and Tubi Style.
The most important part of the Ferrari Exhaust System is the muffler. From Capristo, Larini, Kreissieg, Meisterschaft, Quicksilver, and Tubi, there are many exhaust mufflers to choose from. Each Ferrari Exhaust Manufacturer has a different design, sound, and even functions like F1 Valvetronic to set your Exhaust from a quiet sport mode to a loud race mode with the push of a button. The exhaust systems we carry for the different Ferrari models range in price from $2000 to $10000. Most of the exhausts are stainless steel featuring TIG welding and beautiful quad tips. But some of the exhaust we carry are made from very lightweight and strong material like Titanium.
