Re: Fake Brembos

I would not put those on any car. You are trapping more heat to the pad.....longer stopping distance

Re: Fake Brembos

Is there such a thing as a "Brake Poser?"

Re: Fake Brembos

I wonder if Brembo knows these are out there? I bet they wouldn't be to happy about that.

Re: Fake Brembos

can you imagine with heavy / hard braking with those plastic covers on and they melt?

What a mess that would make!

These are almost as bad as FWD economy cars with fake "spinner" hubcaps - and spinner wheels were a dumb enought idea anyway-

My favorite lame vehicle accessories are still the chrome stripping around doors, fake vents, and the fake portholes that people somehow think look cool.

Fake Brembos really open up new opportunities in tacky rice though.

Re: Fake Brembos

I think the fake Brembos would look great on guy's SE with the 24" wheels.

Re: Fake Brembos

That's just plain stupid... Like the guys who put the fake air scoops on their cars with 3m Tape...
