Brembo "Xtra" Review - Alfa Romeo MiTo QV 

Don't even get me started on these pins haha. They're the worst. Oh and thanks!

Thx, there is a ton I want to do but I am limited in time and budget haha. There is a new set of wheels on the way which I will combine with lowered springs, and then there is room for more power I guess 🤔

@@itsaboutcarsyt Yes Please!😍😍😍

i dont mean to be so off topic but does any of you know a way to get back into an Instagram account? I stupidly lost the password. I love any assistance you can give me

@Creed Darian Instablaster ;)

@Emmitt Cairo thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and I'm in the hacking process now. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

Very good comment, thanks. I was thinking about ebc or tarox as well, because on my last Nürburgring Video, the brembos started to fade very early. Of course that has to do with stock brake lines and non racing brake fluid as well, but the xtras are clearly not designed for track.

@@itsaboutcarsyt Brake lines like stainless steel braided lines are for pedal feel and won't prevent fade or improve performance. A good brand of brake fluid is all you need and change it after heavy track use as the heat degrades the fluid. If the fluid is old, then it will give fade or a spongey pedal at a lower temperature. I used to do a lot of trackdays I had a big brake 2 piece cross drilled kit, but after a trackday, I got cracks around the holes and the disc actually split on an outer hole. So be careful using drilled discs on track. Small cars like the Mito will be better because of the weight of the car with drilled, but still can be affected by cracking. Don't worry though, the disc won't fail, but may need replacing. I would recommend EBC USR discs and Yellowstuff pads or Ferrodo DS2500 if you take your daily driver on the Ring. It's mainly all about the pads than fancy designed discs :)

@@davewilliams7565 yeah I heard that pads must be more important than the disc itself. I will consider the fact that the fluid may have a larger impact on performance than the steel lines alone. Interestingly everybody I talk to has a very different opinion on these things. So I guess all I can do is try it for myself. Guess what we all need is a straight forward which-upgrade-does-exactly-what-on-track video series haha

@@itsaboutcarsyt The pads are far more important than the discs. As for the comment on the drilling not being done correctly, it's intentional, they are dimples not full drill holes. Brembo did it for strength as drilled discs always have stress cracks, and it's important to note the minimum thickness on the drilled version is slightly more than the grooved version which has the same minimum spec as a standard disc. For pads look at Ferodo DS2500 or something similar, much higher temp range.

@@itsaboutcarsyt Yeah, brakes are very subjective and personal opinion! Research on the internet, pick your poison and hope the setup is good for you. :)

Lol thoes are "On Running" shoes haha. They're kinda new compared to other big brands

There is 2 variants. The QV and 140tct multiair have 305mm discs. Other Mitos run on 281mm. Both can be bought as Brembo "Xtra"s.

@@itsaboutcarsyt Thank you for that information. I have a USA 500 Abarth with what I think are either 281mm or 284mm discs and I desperately want upgraded calipers that will fit with the stock disc diameter. All brake brake upgrades I have seen in USA involve going to a larger disc which I want to avoid.

@@zapwatt well probably the brembo system calipers I have would fit your car, together with bigger discs. But I understand that you want to avoid this, would mean a lot of time and money to invest

Hey there. So I usually go for the first recommended procedure, defensive driving and avoiding any high pressure resulting in a lot of heat. However I am not an expert and the other method is something I never heard before but could make sense as well. If you want to be extra sure call Brembo customer service and tell us in the comments 😅

Hi, die Xtra haben eine Zulassung mit ECE R 90 und sind eintragungsfrei :) - The Xtra Disks are road legal and don't require any additional checkup for the TUV

The Disks only in front are 160€ for the Quadrifoglio. Honestly not a fan of the mentioned website, takes ages for them to deliver. There is Alfa Romeo dedicated websites that are faster. The standard Brembo pads in front are 50€, there is a performance version for a lot more, but I didn't go for those. :)

So which site did you order from?

@@user-fq2uw6bd2u got them from shop alfisti dot net, they sit in germany though

ItsAboutCars thank you

I am on a different setup now, recently got tarox f2000s in the front :) The Xtra in this video don't really make any additional noise /

Hi ! Do the Tarox f2000 are making noise please ?

Dadash

Thats close to Frankfurrt, and thanks!

@@itsaboutcarsyt might order some for my mito QV 👌

The disks didn't really hold up to my too hot pads and driving style on the Nordschleife. Think they're good for a daily and look cool but tbh they're not really for track days and so on

do you mean that after several braking sets you've got brake vibration? if no vibration and just brake fading - then the problem in breake pads not in disks, breake pads can't work in such temp - you must try something like EBC YellowStuff, DBA eXtreme Perfomance or Hawk HP Plus @@itsaboutcarsyt

Yes

No, at 01:30 and later in the conclusion I said that the installment has been one and a half months before the tests. Clearly no one should do emergency braking with new disks for the first let's say 500km 😅 (unless you have to to prevent accidents of course)

@@itsaboutcarsyt Ah yes. Sorry, my English is not the best and the content is not subtitled. I'm Brazilian 🤣 Thank you for the explanation

I'd say no, only better pads make a worthy difference in the rear

Xtra Discs in front are 159eur in Germany

@@itsaboutcarsyt per disc or x2?

@@KingNayt x2

Got ATE Pads in front, forgot to mention that since that similar quality. Good to know though, thanks!

@@itsaboutcarsyt Yeah, the discs are really cool and is very good quality. The pads? HELL NO!!! I love the discs, but it's not worth the trouble of buying them, installing them, having loud knocking noises to only find out its because its a bad product. Looks awesome though. And sweet mito you've got!

@@danielfl.9347 I think the Disks are worth it considering the price in comparison. Next time I'll test the GT Series I guess. Thanks for the MiTo appreciation, Cheers!

@@danielfl.9347 What model GTI do you drive, or what's the pad model number or disk size?

Danny Arends Not GTI, but GT

Если не понимаешь языка, не значит что прав и не надо говно разливать. Человек сказал, что с новыми так делать нельзя, что он около полтора месяца накатывал, не менее 500Км.
