Hello everyone, we're TBM Brakes, formerly known as The Brake Man. We're very excited to be here. I may not get any work done today because I want to check out all your builds!!

TBM Brakes was founded in 1993 as 'The Brake Man' and originally focused on high-performance brake pads, brake fluid and the most accurate brake residual pressure valves on the market. The company expanded into rotors in 1995 with the introduction of the groundbreaking Revolution rotor, the industry's first brake rotor to implement a convoluted design. The unique design put TBM Brakes' indelible stamp on the racing industry. The following years saw the company roll out a string of innovative products including patented Tornado calipers, Hurricane rotors Thunderstorm calipers, and full street kits.

TBM Brakes was founded by President and Chief Engineer Warren Gilliland. Before launching the company, Gilliland held positions with Airheart Products, Hurst Performance, JFZ Products, Toyota and Pontiac. His career highlights include involvement in the first quick-change brake calipers for Indy cars, several industry-standard racing brake pad shapes, linear brake pad compounds, the first rear cambered spindles for NASCAR, the original zero-drag calipers, convoluted rotors, and industry-leading technology to improve brake fluid flow.

Today TBM Brakes systems and components help countless drivers and motorsports teams make their way to the winners circle. Victories span across a wide range of regional and national race series and events from dirt to track. This industry-leading technology and durability is also available for street performance and fleet vehicles as well.

Headquartered in southern California, TBM Brakes is the only company producing true made-in-America brake systems and components.

Maybe I missed the link I couldn't find any dimensional drawings or available piston sizes for your F5 caliper ?
Also do you have any measurements to support your stiffest caliper claim?
Also I do like to have some concept of basic prices, I think you used to keep a price list on the site but it looks like you have to make a sales call now ?

Not really on the bubble for a brake purchase at this time, but I like to do my background research and know what is available.

Welcome to Lat-g.

All good questions Preston. WE understand there are some gaps in the website right now, but we are working hard on a brand new website right now!

In the meantime, can you call the shop or email us at [email protected]. We'd love to get you all the info you need.
