Formula to Brembo rear brake

[Toom38]

Has anyone switched from the Formula rear master cylinder hand brake to the Brembo master cylinder? Can you feel that much difference? Was it worth the cost?

I just ordered one, should be here in a few days. I report back once installed

I haven’t installed mine yet. The Formula setup works fine for me but I bought the Brembo setup purely for aesthetics. It was driving my OCD crazy not having the levers match.

I was thinking about getting the Brembo setup, but I had the fluid flushed as part of yearly maintenance. It’s made a world of difference. So much so that I’m not going to bother with the Brembo setup.

Reporting back here after making the switch. Definitely a noticeable difference in braking and feedback through the lever. Well worth the investment in my opinion. Just make sure you take your time and bleed the system properly.

I'm currently using a Racetorx Dual brake kit with the Formula set up but after running it for a few months I lost all braking through the lever (pedal brake still works good).

I want to go to the Brembo set up. What is required to go from the Racetorx/Formula system to the Brembo besides the master cylinder???

The Stark website isn't showing "details" for the Brembo components.

Running the rekluse dual setup with the 10mm and pedal. No issues here, rarely do I use the rear but if I needed it, the pull is literally 1 finger. Just make sure you bleed the line well and burp out all air bubbles.
