The Brembo GT BBK 6 Piston FM1000 Compound Brake Pads (part 107955113) are the replacement front friction set for the GT monoblock six-piston calipers in Brembo's GT big brake kits. Owners on user forums describe the FM1000 as the compound Brembo uses in its high-performance applications, and they say it has a lot of grip when cold. Versus stock pads, the buyer gets a firmer, more confident initial bite, and one owner reports a better initial bite than stock while the pedal stays smooth through the stop. Owners warn that cheap pads can wear rotors quickly, so this set makes more sense for keeping a costly GT kit's discs in service.
Fitment is the main thing to verify. These pads are sold for the GT monoblock six-piston front calipers, so match your caliper design and disc size before ordering. Expect some trade-offs: owners on user forums say FM1000 pads dust heavily, and some describe them as noisy. Good street manners and strong cold bite are the reasons to choose them, along with long-tail searches such as "Brembo GT big brake kit front pads," "FM1000 street compound 6 piston," and "107955113 replacement pads."
The manufacturer describes these as directional pads with chamfers on the friction surface, arrows on the anti-noise shim, and a half-moon slot on the leading edge. The larger chamfer should make contact with the rotating disc first.
The manufacturer advises replacing the accessories and springs with every pad change to prevent noise, vibration, and harshness issues.
Yes. The manufacturer calls for a bedding-in procedure after installation to stabilize contact between the pad and disc.
Owners on user forums report that FM1000 pads produce a noticeable amount of brake dust, and some describe them as noisy, especially when cold or driven slowly.
A pad swap on these calipers is a moderate DIY job for a home mechanic with a jack, stands, a torque wrench, and pliers. Start by removing the pad retaining pins, clips, and springs, then compress the pistons with a C-clamp or caliper piston tool. Owners on user forums recommend a spreader for the outboard pad. The manufacturer's guidance says to clean the caliper, guides, and pad resting area, apply the specified grease where the pads contact the bracket, and confirm the caliper slides freely before reassembly. Fit the pads with the larger chamfer leading, then check the brake fluid level and top it up to the maximum mark. One owner describes these pads as thin at about 18 mm, so check thickness regularly and plan on a bedding-in drive after the first install.
