Real Brembo 16x18 is a matte gray finish with 16x18 stamped in the top of the master by the pivot pin


Frembo copys from china have a semi gloss olive green finish. there is a noticeable differance. Fake ones dont have the stamped size... and the bleeder is a 8mm-10mm the real ones are 11mm


Thanks to shockey for the info!

Very good post as most cannot tell just at a glance. ALWAYS look for the stamped 16x18, 19x18 or 19x20 by the pivot pin. Real brembo don't have a thick coating of paint either, more of a grey anodized style finish. (some have a brownish tint to them).

On a similar note, has anybody seen any RCS frembos floating around or is it just the cast models on ebay?
