Porsche vs Brembo Calipers

["Steve D'Gerolamo" <steved3@xxxxxxx>]

I received a phone call from the president of Brembo US today regarding a
statement on my web page which he found inaccurate.  The statement had said
that Porsche engineered their calipers "in-house" and that Brembo
manufactured them to Porsche's specs.  What I should have said is that
Porsche's engineers went to Brembo's house (in Italy) and worked with
Brembo to engineer the brakes.  They are manufactured by Brembo to
Porsche's specs and cannot be purchased directly from the manufacturer.

He also said that one cannot call the Porsche calipers "Brembo" (despite
the fact that the Brembo name is cast in the rear half of the
component)....they must be called "Porsche" calipers.  Hope this sets the
record straight.  SD  (PS- If anyone purchased a Porsche kit from me and
thought they were buying Brembo kit, please let me know)
