Brembo Max Front Disk Brake

This Brembo Max is the aftermarket version of direct replacement for Nabira factory fitted front disk. The disk comes with grooves on surface meant to improve grip.


The disk being paired with Ferodo disk pad.
However, i've installed the disk brake with Bendix Titanium "Metal King" instead of Ferodo.
This Bendix brake pads come with Titanium strip on the pad surface.

Replacement work was carried out at Ecotec, Sunway.
The stock front brake disk equipped with TRM lucas brake pad (2nd replacement done at 50k, the pad still has 50% thickness).
The Brembo max disk brake installed with Bilstein B4 strut and waiting for Bendix Titanium brake pads for the final touch.

I bought these locking bolts from UK supplier thru e-bay for my CV. The locking bolts are OEM Vauxhall VXR with individual security number.
The lock bolt fits perfectly with BBS CV wheel..
