Steve, sorry to correct you but Brembo is an Italian company (with a lot 
of German clients - Porsche, for example, uses solely Brembo brakes on 
their cars). Started in 1961 as a garage, commenced making brake discs 
in 1964 with 25 employees, was chosen to supply Ferrari's F1 race cars 
in 1975, developed aluminum brake calipers in 1980. Kelsey-Hayes took an 
interest in 1983 which broke up in 1993. Started to develop a 
'brake-by-wire' system together with SKF in 2000, had 2800 employees by 
that time. Developed ceramic brake discs in 2003, supplied Harley 
Davidson in 2006. Plants in Italy, Brazil, Great Britain, Mexico, 
Poland, Spain, France, Sweden, USA, China, Japan and India.
Zerefor I zought a small korrekzion vas needed.
