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.
I have already know the price from the other garage that will install my quad-exhaust...
Yes, for Zs its arround 2OK for full set.
For the custom-made rotor of mine it was even less, so I paid 5.5K expansive than a fair price.
fJ, don't recommend this garage to any member anymore, if I were you!

Just for you guys info,
GTs have round circles where the 6 pistons meet and an arc line that goes thru them, and the top middle has no bolt, and is same colour!

Both of them are cast. Go to Brembo race. RACE calipers are forged.

It's 20K installed for full set of front(6-pot), ie Brembo rotor, as well as lines, pads!
And the shop ( which's name start from letter Z ) told that the most reliable Brembo will be ordered by full set!
(otherwise, it's might be mouse-goods, no matter, I saw the package of mine were just a carton box WITHOUT the logo "Brembo")
For custom-made rotor, such as mine, any garage can offer 30K for 6-pot front & 4-pot rear, included the shop mentioned above.
And for the front, it's arround 17K installed! Which is why I am pissed off!

So FJ if you want a set, I can refer you this shop. I will go down this weekend to look one of member to install his full set of Brembo 405mm,
Of course, it is real GT

Guys, just for your info,
As said I will install quad-exhaust from garage ( which's name start from letter "Z", as mentioned above).
Eisenmann Race quad 90mm x 4 at HK21,000.
This is recommended by one of our member, who will install Brembo there!
