Sport brakes for Maserati
Overdimensional brakes they are one of the best solutions if you want to significantly increase the brake of your car.They are indicated for users who have problems with the effectiveness of the original brakes under high mechanical demand circumstances, since these are designed to work in cold and preserve an emergency brake in normal circumstances.
The kits of fat brakes they are especially recommended for users who enhance the performance of their cars to do sports driving on trams, tandas on circuits, track days, etc. In these cases it is not only recommended but almost mandatory, since the brakes of origin will be short and we should enhance the brake at least in the same proportion as we enhance the engine.
When we use the brakes of the car daily when traveling by city, road, highway, etc. We are making a use of the brakes that is far from reaching their limits, we usually use between 10 and 50% of the thermal capacity of the same (depending on the habits of each driver).
At the moments of maximum mechanical requirement of the brakes, these can be excessively heated and once we pass the thermal capacity beyond 100%, the brakes lose their effectiveness and their performance can fall in pic.
It’s when we already have to propose a change in the braking system of our car to improve it, if we don’t want to increase the braking distance and have a disgust.

When is it recommended to overdimension brakes?
Overall, it is advisable to overdimensional brakes in the following cases;
By increasing the power of our engine by more than 20%
When the power/weight ratio varies in the same proportion
When used high adherence semislick or slick tyres
- In general when we have a car intended to make tandas and/or trackdays.
All friction materials used in a brake system have a thermal capacity that depending on the materials used, will be greater or lower, the final price of the product is also a direct factor as a result of the materials used.
The original brakes are manufactured with a standard steel material, like the brake of brake pills, for cost issues, originally pieces are mounted that are designed to endure a cold emergency brake, but if a continuous use is made the brakes are thermally tired and the effect known as fading is produced.
Because each driver has a different braking habit, the maximum average temperature that will be achieved can vary notably from one driver or driver to another.
The ideal thing would be to know the maximum temperature we reach usual, but as we do not have the telemetry measurement systems that use professional racing teams, in general lines we can guide ourselves by the following orientative baremo:
Temperature brakes
The values in this table are approximately, from temperatures above 400 oC the original equipment brakes are when they begin to get tired and lose efficiency.
We can estimate that we are about 600 oC when at the maximum point of the final braking the disc acquires a slightly incandescent red color, 700 oC when the tonality is a more pronounced cherry red, 800 oC if the tonality is a more live incandescent red, 900 oC if it is an orange red.
From 1000 oC the tonality is a very live orange throwing yellow, racing cars move in these temperatures ranges, in these cases only carbon brakes endure these temperatures are the ones that are used for example in Formula 1.
