Brembo Brakes as OEM brakes .....
Hi guys,
Being at the Jaguar dealership yesterday, I browsed through the showroom killing time, as my car was being worked on in the service dept. I took notice of the new 2017 Range Rovers. Any model that was equipped with the 550 horsepower engine now has BREMBO brake as a standard setup. I was very surprised!
I saw this on the SVR Edition of Range Rover and also the Autobiography Edition Range Rover. I spoke with my guy at the dealer about the brake change for 2017 MY Range Rovers. Jaguar Land Rover decided to start using BREMBO brakes on the high end high power versions of there vehicles.
I asked my guy if the Brembo Brakes will be used on future F Type cars, asking him if the car will have these brakes for 2018. The sales manager said, it's highly probable.
Guys, if the Range Rover has BREMBO brakes, you know the F Type is next in line to start wearing Brembo shoes in 2018.

Right now now the best option would be to get enough interest for a group buy of 10-15 orders and have somebody design a balanced brake system with better calipers whether is be Brembo, AP, Alcon, etc

but the brembos are also either 4 or 6 piston calipers as opposed to 2 piston front and single piston rear calipers in our cars. In very basic terms ... you have a larger pad and the braking force is more evenly distributed across the pad, more friction is being created and better braking performance can be had.

Braking force available is always greater than the drivers pedal effort and/or tire traction (that's why we have ABS), so there's no net increase in braking performance.
Different brake feel can be achieved by using different pad materials.

Thanks guys ...
Based on all your replies, the douche bag sales guy just yes me to death. He seemed to be in a rush to do something but that's no excuse to give me a bullshit answer. I'm new to the Jaguar Land Rover family coming from BMW, so i didn't know about Range Rovers having Brembo Brakes.

My Wife's last Car was a BMW, when we were shopping for an F-Type the only thing I was sure of is that it has to have a reversing Camera and parking aids, oh, and it has to be white with a V6 engine.
This is a great Forum populated with great Contributors, I learn something every Day. So thanks Guys!!

In 2006 when the s/c line of rr and rrs came out, all front calipers were Bremo and marked brembo. I think around 08 or 09 the same calipers were labeled Rang Rover. I was told it was a branding deal and brembo wanted more for calipers if there name was on them. Now I am seeing brembo back as the label. Just a bit of worthless trivia

Total braking force is the same irrespective of one big piston vs. 6 little ones otherwise pedal effort is altered usually adversly.
Braking force available is always greater than the drivers pedal effort and/or tire traction (that's why we have ABS), so there's no net increase in braking performance.
