Mercedes AMG GT4

The Mercedes AMG GT4 features a sophisticated braking system with adjustable brake bias, three brake pad compounds, and a 12-position ABS system. Brake bias can be adjusted on-the-fly to shift braking balance forward or rearward—values above 50% increase front brake pressure, improving stability but raising the risk of front lockups. The brake pad compound selection offers a critical tradeoff: Low compound provides maximum modulation with reduced stopping power, while Medium and High compounds deliver stronger braking at the cost of pedal feel and control.

The ABS system's baseline setting is position 4, offering a balanced starting point for most conditions. Lower numbers increase intervention to prevent lockups but may extend braking distances, while higher numbers reduce assistance for more direct pedal response. Position 12 disables ABS entirely for experienced drivers seeking maximum control. Understanding this relationship helps you tailor braking behavior to track grip levels and personal preference.

Braking performance is also influenced by suspension setup—front camber increases cornering grip but reduces longitudinal braking traction, requiring rearward brake bias compensation. Damper settings affect weight transfer speed during braking, with higher rebound stiffness helping control pitch and improve stability in heavy braking zones. Monitor tire temperatures and wear patterns to validate your brake bias and suspension choices across different circuit demands.
