KLEEMANN introduces the new KB4 and KB8 brake systems
The KB1, KB2 and KB3 KLEEMANN High Performance Brake systems are being replaced by the new KB4 and KB8 High Performance Brake Systems.
Like the former brake system programme, the new KB4 and KB8 systems set new standards when it comes to critical aspects such as response, fading, stability, and long-term endurance.
The KB8 brake system comes with 2 piece aluminium callipers with eight pistons unlike its predecessor, which was only available with 6 piston callipers. The KB4 system features 4 piston callipers, and all KLEEMANN brake systems work perfectly with factory standard master cylinders, ABS, traction control and ESP systems.
Many cars even in the high performance category are equipped with the same brake discs on the right and the left side of the car, thus one set of the discs will actually rotate in the wrong direction and not obtain optimum cooling. This is not the case with the KLEEMANN High Performance Brake Systems. The two-piece brake discs are vented and cross drilled and come in a right and in a left version for ultimate performance even under maximum strain.
Disc sizes for the KB8 system are 380 x 34 mm for the front axle and 345 x 28 mm for the rear axle. The KB4 system features discs in 355 x 32 mm for the front axle and 328 x 28 mm for the rear axle.
For maximum quality in terms of raw materials, technology and precision in the production process the KB4 and KB8 brake systems are developed in corporation with Brembo. Brembo is the world leader in the market of high performance brake systems and has won over 150 World Championships in all forms of racing including F1.
All Mercedes-Benz models can be mounted with the KLEEMANN High Performance Brake system, which will be introduced to the market at a price level approx 20% lower than the KB1, KB2 and KB3 brake systems from KLEEMANN.
