For vehicles with Brembo brakes, the brake system consists of the following components:

The brake caliper has two retaining bolts that attach the brake caliper to the wheel knuckle. These are of four piston fixed type which makes sure that equal effort is applied through both brake pads. The hydraulic system provides separate circuits for each pair of diagonally opposed wheels (i.e. left front, right rear and right front, left rear).

The brake disc is manufactured from cast iron and is of the solid type. It is retained on the hub by two retaining clips and the wheel studs.
