Brembo Brakes

Nought you fans of the Brembo package might find this amusing. I just bought a pair of new Brembo rotors for my Toyota Sienna for $90. Ford sure does make a tidy profit on the Brembo package.

Brembo package comes with other suspension upgrades as well. At least it did for 2011 and 2012 model year. Plus different tires and wheels which people have sold for $1000 alone.... And of course they make money. It's called a business for a reason. Not sure what the point of this is.

I can't get past the fact that he has Brembo rotors on a Toyota Sienna.

That they are available also leaves me a bit confused - do the rotors also fit something that has sporting pretenses? I can't imagine that Brembo tooled them for the Sienna alone.



But, yes, the package has much more than different rotors.

Buy the Brembo 4 piston calipers for your Sienna as well, then get back to us on that price.

I bought Brembo rotors for my 1998 Cavalier Z24 and my 2001 S2000. They make rotors for a surprising variety of cars.

Yes - those are sports/sporty cars. A minivan, despite the best efforts of VW marketing, is not a sports car.

They make bone stock replacement rotors, too. Put them on my 93 2.3 Mustang LX.

'98 Cavalier sporty car? Toyota Sienna minivan is more sporty than that.

This thread is generating just the kind of chuckles I intended. But yes Brembo makes brake parts for many cars. No my Sienna does not have 4 piston calipers.
