    I bought the Brembo front brake upgrade kit about 20 years ago. I cannot find the paperwork and I need pads. I have only bought pads once and I cannot for the life of me remember the part#, size, etc. I seem to recall they are the same a used on a Dodge Viper.

    Can someone help point me in the right direction?

    Have you looked here. https://www.bremboparts.com/america/en

    Also I think on the back of the old pads should be the part number.

    I'm sure. I just wanted to put the car up once instead of pulling them off and then waiting until the next weekend to finish.

    I spoke to that company yesterday and the news is not good for those of us with this kit.

    Brembo has DISCONTINUED the kit for our 308's as of 2017. For reference and future searches this is the 313mmX28mm set up and depending on the color caliper selected has the product number
    1A1.5004A2

    The complete kit is still available for purchase, but the problem I see is getting the JUST rotors when that day comes. Interestingly, Brembo referred me to Race Technologies for parts and THEY told me Brembo stopped making it and had no rotors left to sell. They are currently searching Italy's stocks to see if they can find something for me. They really were not much help with the pads either.

    So I finally remembered I used Carbotech and when I called them, sure enough, they were the folks I bought my pads from last time nearly 10 years ago. They knew exactly what I needed for pads but were no help for the rotors. They gave me a list of vehicles that use the same pads and rotors as this which included the 01 and 02 Viper, some 360 Modena, and even a Cadillac but I doubt the bolt pattern is the same.

    Anyway, I found the pads but now I need to search out rotors, buy a few sets and throw them on the shelf.

    Have a look at the EBC website in UK, they do all sorts for ferrari. Superperformance in uk do big brake kits as well.

    That's just it, I have absolutely no earthly idea whatsoever. None, so it's a total roadblock at the moment.

    Are yours two piece as per the photo? The Acura 313mm disks are same price (check the website) but the Acura community may have a source for the iron part.

    Here is a shot showing the rotor and hat. You can see the stress/heat cracks.

    I doubt the hat is easily removed.

    I see the kit is about $2500 so those disk prices are to be expected. If you find out the offset there may be 1-piece disks that would fit. My 298mm Porsche Boxter front disks were £40-60 each (originals)
