ok, but i thought this was more your thing, this is much more a "sporting" gentleman's car

Yes, AK told me that this set is GT before I paying the deposite.

I didn't yet to check the number. Just from the appearances to justified its not GT, but is Z17/Z18.
Thought, its easy to verify this.
I will go to mod quad-exhast soon and will ask the garage to look into more details.
Will let you know thereafter..

No, there are lots of vendors selling Brembo GT for F10 at f10forum, you can check it out easily.
One of our HK member has ordered 405 GT and will install it this weekend at the garage same as I mentioned above.
I will have this garage check mine and make a fair judgement as for the price or even the authentication!
Any case, it's is not honest shop that I bought my from!:thumbsdown:

Found out that the price for Brembo Zs is almost 45% less than the GT. The GT is about $30k hkd up... and the Zs are about $20k hkd this is just for the front.
I have done some searching and they are both mono block which is the same design. GT is for after market cars and Zs are for OEM cars I think but double check on this.
I dont know if the performance is the same in the 2. Like to know more on this.
Can you take photo and give Brembo a email and ask them what is the different on the 2 models.
I see that most sports cars are fitted with the Zs and not the GT.

For me when I buy any parts or go to any garage to do stuff, I will always check on the web to see if the parts are real and what the cost of the parts should be..
I dont trust any shop in HK no matter how much info they know.

eg. 6 years ago. I phone the EBC dealer in HK about the brack pads which 1 I should buy for my 2004 E60 and the dealer say the M5 pads should fit my car which I know the will 100% not fit or I email UK EBC to ask them which 1 I should buy and the parts number.

Are there 50% performance difference in between GT and Z18?
Did appearances different worth paid up 50% more?
Both of them are cast. Go to Brembo race. RACE calipers are forged.

I think it would be like commiting sucide if I asked my wife whether she would accept tsl instead of chanel ear rings for her bday present. haha
