Question 1

Do you really stock brake parts for Porsche, BMW M, AMG, R8, GT-R, Ferrari, Lamborghini?

Accepted Answer

Fast-moving Porsche, BMW M, Mercedes-AMG, Audi RS/R8 and GT-R consumables (pads, discs, sensors) for popular variants are stocked in our Bangalore warehouse or sourced within India in 1–7 working days. Carbon-ceramic discs (Porsche PCCB, AMG Carbon Ceramic, M Carbon Ceramic, RS Ceramic) and Lamborghini / Ferrari / McLaren / Aston Martin parts are sourced on indent — typically 7–21 working days depending on the OE supplier and shipping route. We will confirm the ETA in writing on WhatsApp before you confirm the order.

Question 2

Are these genuine OE parts?

Accepted Answer

Yes — only genuine OE or OE-approved aftermarket parts (Brembo, ATE, Textar, Akebono, EBC, Bosch, TRW, Jurid). Each box carries the official part number; carbon-ceramic and OE supercar parts ship with the original manufacturer packaging, holographic labels and where applicable, batch certificates.

Question 3

Can I upgrade to a Brembo big brake kit (BBK) for my BMW M3 / Audi RS / 911?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Brembo GT, GT-S and GT-R big brake kits are available for most performance European cars. We will confirm caliper clearance against your wheel size, share the full kit contents (calipers, discs, pads, lines, hardware) and quote the all-in price including shipping. Bedding-in instructions are shared with every kit.

Question 4

Are PCCB / AMG Carbon Ceramic / M Carbon Ceramic discs available in India?

Accepted Answer

Yes, on indent. These are very expensive and have specific pad-pairing and bedding-in requirements — using the wrong pad on a carbon-ceramic disc can permanently damage it. Share your VIN and we will quote the genuine OE part numbers along with the matching pads.

Question 5

Why is the VIN absolutely critical for these cars?

Accepted Answer

Performance and super cars often change brake hardware mid-cycle (different calipers for different option codes, ceramic vs steel rotors, optional Performance Pack brakes). The VIN is the only reliable way to map your exact build to the right part numbers. We verify the VIN against the catalogue before dispatch, so the part that leaves our warehouse is the correct one for your car. The only case where a return is not accepted is if the VIN itself was given incorrectly at the time of order.

Question 6

What is the difference between ceramic, semi-metallic and organic brake pads?

Accepted Answer

Ceramic pads use ceramic fibres with small amounts of metal — they run quietly, produce very little dust and are kind to alloy wheels, which is why they are popular on premium cars. Semi-metallic pads (NAO/low-met) use steel/iron fibres and bite harder when cold, but produce more dust and a little more noise. Organic / NAO pads are made from non-metallic fibres bonded with resin — softest pedal feel and quietest, but wear faster under heavy use. The right choice depends on your car, driving style and wheel finish.

Question 7

What is a single-compound vs multi-compound (multi-layer) brake pad?

Accepted Answer

A single-compound pad uses one friction material from the back-plate to the contact face. A multi-compound pad has an underlayer (between the back-plate and the friction material) that improves heat handling, reduces noise and protects the back-plate — common on European OE pads from ATE, Textar, Brembo and others. For high-performance use, brands like EBC and Brembo also offer pads with different compounds front vs rear, or different compounds for street vs track.

Question 8

Are carbon-ceramic (CCM / PCCB) brake discs available?

Accepted Answer

Yes — for cars originally fitted with carbon-ceramic discs (Porsche PCCB, Mercedes-AMG Carbon Ceramic, BMW M Carbon Ceramic, Audi RS Ceramic, Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren), we can source genuine OE replacement discs and matching pads on indent. Carbon-ceramic discs are very expensive and have specific bedding-in and pad-pairing requirements — share your VIN and we will quote the exact OE part numbers.

Question 9

What is the difference between drilled, slotted and plain brake discs?

Accepted Answer

Plain (smooth) discs are the OE choice for most cars — quietest, best pad life, lowest cost. Slotted discs have machined grooves that sweep gas, dust and water off the pad face — better wet bite and consistent feel under hard use, common on sport cars. Drilled discs add cross-drilled holes for cooling and looks but can be prone to micro-cracks under track abuse — best as a premium street upgrade. Drilled-and-slotted combines both.

Question 10

Which DOT brake fluid should I use — DOT 3, DOT 4 or DOT 5.1?

Accepted Answer

Use what your owner's manual specifies. Most modern cars use DOT 4; many German performance cars and ABS/ESP systems specify DOT 4 LV or DOT 5.1 (higher boiling point). Never mix DOT 5 (silicone) with DOT 3/4/5.1 (glycol). Brake fluid is hygroscopic — replace every 2 years or 40,000 km, whichever is earlier.
