Anyone know if the CCR is runnning on Brembo GT front brake kit or a GTR front brake kit? I see the upsized 2 piece rotors all around but was curious to what there using.

Doesn't look like the GT kit. The calipers in these shots do not exist in the Brembo Racing catalog.

They appear to be these brakes - http://www.brembo.com/en/car/Racing/...ng-System.aspx, so they're the GTR street setup, not a full on racing brake system. That seems a bit odd for a dedicated racing car.

 

thats what i thought. weird how they dont have a full blown race brake system. the GTR system is brmbos highest performance street system but still a surprise

 

When it arrived from Japan, the rears were still stock...

Here is the Front Right setup..

 

Here is the Front Left..

 

IS F CCS-R crew chief messaged me the accurate information this morning.

The Rear OEM Brembo Rotors & Calipers are still in use w/ Track Duty Brake lines & Brakes Pads

The Fronts are indeed the Full Blown Brembo Racing set up... Caliper Part# XA6.61.21/24
w/ Floating Two Piece Racing Rotors

Thought you would all appreciate the legit info.

The pic in the press release is not those calipers, but they are the calipers in your shots Joe. This is a lot more what I expected for a racing car.

 

Looks all the same to me in the press kit...

For the record this is all the same car photo'd here state side.
No changes have been made to the Racing Brake System since its arrival.
Just normal "racing" maintenance..

I've seen, photo'd and video'd this ride several times.





Here is a recent photo of the wheel / brake setup for NASA 25hrs of Thunderhill Race last week..!!
