Brembo's for 800 Baht ($27.00) - Toyota Yaris Forums

While I was in Thailand I also noticed that at least 50% of the cars & trucks had Brembo's on them. Scratched my head and came to realize that these MUST be so affordable that such a majority had them. My wifes nephew had a set of theses Brembo's on his new Honda City. He took me to a wheel & tire shop in Bangkok, which there are hundreds of these shops. In the showroon there was a large glass display case with every size caliper for small to large rotors and every color available, Blue, Black, Green, Yellow, Red. I asked the girl to open the display case and she handed me one. Much to my suprise, they were all plastic covers that are siliconed to the original stock caliper. What a brilliant idea! These are fully detailed with even the a chrome bleeder, a chrome transfer tube that would go to the other side of the caliper and chrome allen bolts that would attach each side of a caliper. Painted RED with the BREMBO logo on it. I wonder if Brembo knows of this going on???
Yes I did buy a set and will as corny as it is, put them on with a laugh.

I'll post some pics off and on the car.
