They are different.
Brembo High Performance does not use any OEM components from production vehicles, and Brembo OEM does not use an High Performance products for production vehicles. There will be similarities is aesthetics since many of the same engineers and production methods are used, but when you see the products side by side there are many obvious differences.
The differences are based on function and purpose of the system.
While much of the criteria for quality, longevity and safety is the same between OEM and High performance, the aftermarket products from the High Performance division have an added benefit of being able to go for additional weight savings, firmer pedal feel, better modulation and control more suited to high performance and spirited driving, and ultimately a more performance oriented design.
The calipers are lighter and stiffer. They incorporate a short annulus design, while maintaining large surface area and volume.
The rotors are 2pc. fully floating. This design is advantageous for weight savings, improved longevity, and prevention of disc deformation.
The disc itself actually comes directly from Brembo Racing division, while the hats and hardware are engineered specifically to the aftermarket application. The brake lines are braided stainless steel and come from Goodridge. The pads are suited for high performance street use and come from Ferodo. Every other item is engineered and manufactured by Brembo for the High Performance Division.
