R35 GT-R Brembo handbrake rings

R35 GT-R Brembo handbrake rings

The R35 GT-R’s handbrake size is too big to work with the smaller ones found in the R34 / R33 / R32 Skyline, so we’ll need to reduce it. Simple! It boiled down to two options:

• New hats / new bells in aluminium
  • Pros = lighter, easier installation
  • Cons = many…
    • Aluminium is the worst choice for a friction material
    • It wears out extremely quickly (that’s why the OEM part is steel)
    • Expensive
    • Installation requires a new expensive bobbin kit; one pair from AP Racing costs $411
    • You’re locked into using only one rotor brand forever
• Billet high-carbon steel drum handbrake inserts
  • Cons = weight, harder installation
  • Pros = heaps…
    • Fits all rotor brands
    • Fits all rotor styles
    • Fits new and used rotors
    • Cheap
    • The best choice as a friction material (that’s why all drums are made of steel)
    • Will outlast the rotors themselves

We manufacture the second option for all the benefits. Purposely oversized so it’ll fit everything including brand new and used rotors.
