TAROX Brakes: Our History

It’s hard to imagine a tuning and modified car scene without big brake kits, but in 1990 there simply wasn’t. TAROX founder Gianni Taroni wanted to offer a total braking solution for drivers of performance cars on the road.

Racing brake kits existed, but these just weren’t suitable for the road. Gianni used his experience in racing and engineering to create brake kit 001 – originally designed for one of the purest driving machines ever built, the BMW E30 M3.

Our caliper technology has moved on significantly since then, but the philosophy and passion of the TAROX brake kit remains the same in 2016. TAROX brake kits are always tailored to their specific vehicle ensuring they offer a driver improved braking in all situations while maintaining a firm, usable pedal.

Currently the TAROX brake application list for road cars boasts more than 4000 applications, while the racing catalogue lists more than 20 different calipers and 100
types of racing rotors.
