Brembo GT Systems Big Brake Kit, BMW Z4 M Coupe/Roadster

+ Benefit: offers the highest initial response of all the available disc face types while continuously refreshing the braking surface and being also typically a bit lighter.

- Drawback: Drilled discs are generally more prone to heat checking and thermal cracking if used consistently at extremely high temperatures. This however, really depends on the track, driver, and chassis setup.

+ Benefit: stable braking feel at all temperatures, low disc wear, and continuously refreshing the braking surface for optimum performance.

- Drawback: The Type-1 standard disc face has the lowest “initial response” or “bite” compared to Brembo Drilled, Type-3 or Type-5 discs.

+ Benefit: highest overall braking confidence, control, and allows the driver to spend less time on the brake pedal. When chasing the fastest lap time, less time on the brake pedal typically leads to a quicker lap time.

- Drawback: Any disc with an aggressive face type like the Type-3 will have a higher chance to mechanically abrade the pad and disc surface leading to quicker or uneven pad wear. However, this really depends on variables such as car setup or track layout
