CEBU, Philippines — When I drove the Toyota Vios Cup Car for the first time in 2015, there were a lot of things that were new to me. My background, driving go-karts and joining autocross races were helpful but not adequate. Of course, the Vios Cup Car was never that quick out of the line, it had a stock engine. But this was Circuit Racing and there was one thing that was really outright noticeable in the car. I was surprised on how good the brakes were. But, yes of course, these were Brembos.
There probably isn’t any aftermarket brakes specialist more popular than Brembo. The Italian Brake supplier has a wide participation in the world of motorsports, with technical data trickling down to their performance products.
In the Philippines, Brembo has also step-upped its game by making brake pads and parts for our domestic market. AutoPerformance PH-Brembo’s exclusive distributor since 2012 has announced that Brembo Asia has widened its range of products for not just performance cars but also to the daily driven cars. This range of affordable brake discs, brake pads and parts still carry the quality Brembo performance, but is designed more to suite all road conditions for maximum safety and comfort.
To make sure you find the right Brembo part that you need, Brembo has established a website, Bremboparts.com. This website is a comprehensive and user-friendly online catalog that allows you to search for your parts by just encoding your cars model and other details like the part number.
Autoperformance PH has put up a newly designed website as well for more knowledge and guidance on what Brembo product is best for you. You can also ask questions and get tips on installation and maintenance via their dedicated helpdesk which is open from Monday to Saturday at 9am to 5pm. Autoperformance Ph also has a Facebook page with a trained customer service technical expert to assist you with anything and everything Brembo.
Autoperformance Ph also has a network of over 100 Brembo Official dealers nationwide so it won’t be hard to find the right part for your car.
If you fancy buying stuff online, Lazada is arguably the most popular online store in the Philippines and they now carry a whole line of Brembo products. The new Brembo Official Store in Lazada is a game changer for Brembo as it makes purchasing Brembo products easy and hassle free especially for us here in the provinces. In an interview with Francis Aguila, CEO of AutoPerformance PH Inc., he said, “We are getting stronger everyday with our online presence, including Social Media, and now the new website. In both cases, they are dynamic pages, where the message will evolve and adjust to what the market needs. In Lazada, we have a very clear value proposition for regular cars like the Honda Jazz, Toyota Vios or even pick-ups like the Nissan Navarra or the Toyota Hilux owners; OEM brakes or better quality Brembos at a lower price. This being said, I’m very confident we have the better-quality products as proven with our motorsports success in and out of the Toyota Vios Cup. Brembo products for the most popular vehicles in the Philippines are listed in Lazada, with more parts added every week. We are proud to say that we are the first country to implement a Brembo Official Store in the region, with the support of Brembo’s regional office”.
Brembo, being popularly known as performance oriented, test their products in racecars and performance cars. This is a big reason why they are champions in their industry.
