Do I have the "Brembo" brakes??

[Sofa King]

I got the mini spare with my GT and it was only about $400. I think currently they’re about $650 or so. That said the last thing I’d want to do is haul around a spare tire designed for a brake system my car doesn’t have. That is unless it can fit in the spare tire compartment under the trunk. If it can’t then I wouldn’t recommend it.

Automotive Authority spare that fits the big brakes does fit fine in the spare tire well.

Derail thread to say

spoiler delete cars look sooo damn sexy
I have a delete module but haven’t put it on yet

Not my cup of tea personally. I almost bought a car with a spoiler delete and Im glad I didnt. But different strokes for different folks.

I dont about that. That spare is a SUPER tight fit and you have to cut the insulation out from the bottom of the spare cover to get it to fit flush.

On the S550, spoiler delete looked good... on the S650 not so much.

A tight fit is still a fit!

BlueWayout. I have a very similar car as yours and mine came with the Brembo brake kit. See attached pictures. You can see that the rear wheel caliper is quite large.

I didn’t have to cut anything. Just let a little air out. Fits flush.

I did. Even with letting air out. And honestly whats the point of carrying a spare if you have to put air in it before you use it?

2 flats equal a full? You know like those weird ass math problems were some psycho buys 40 watermellons and such.

Oh! Yeah. Like...

You're the bus driver.
At your first stop, 12 kids get on the bus.
2nd Stop. 3 get off, 7 get on.
3rd stop. 11 get on, no one gets off.

How old is the bus driver?

Exactly.

Haha! I get it. But, what you are failing to get is that a spare with reduced air is still better than the flat tire with no air & a chewed up sidewall that won’t allow it to hold air even if you have a pump.
Put the spare on, add some air, limp home.
What say you now math wizards!

Lol. I say most people dont have a pump to add air to a spare. And a spare that requires you to have to carry a pump in order inflate it probably isnt much better than the factory pump with sealant that comes on non spare cars.

Aha! Gotcha! SEALANT!! Not good. Non spare cares often have pump/sealant kits. I’ll raise you a

All non spare tire cars have pump/sealant kit. At this point, im not even sure what you're going on about.
