996TT Brembo Big Brake Kits - THE OPTIONS

Our US HQ is one of the largest Brembo brake dealers in the US, stocking all Porsche applications in all the available options. So what is available for the Porsche 996 Turbo and why should you run a Brembo Brake Kit? All Brembo big brake kits include street pads, steel braided brake lines, 2 piece floating rotors with patented McLaren hardware, calipers, brackets, and Brembo brake fluid. Now for you track guys, get rid of those street pads and Vivid Racing can substitute them for track pads from Porterfield, Ferodo, or Pagid on the 4 and 6piston calipers. The same engineering that goes into the race team brakes and the OEM brakes found on the Porsche can be equated to what is on these GT kits. The patented McLaren hardware is only used on Brembo kits and this allows the rotor to have a true center line for better pad wear, improved heat dissipation, and overall longer rotor life. The increased veined rotors also help tremendously reduce brake fade. Each 355mm rotor saves about 7lbs of rotational weight per corner on the Porsche Turbo. Other companies try to replicate the hardware with a nut and bolt. This does have the weight reduction of a 2pc rotor, but because it is not a "true floating" design, this causes the aluminum brake hat to become a consumable item. Brembo rotors last about 3 times longer then OEM and 2 times longer then its competitors. Many PCCB owners will switch to the Brembo setup for further improved braking and longer rotor life. When engineering Brembo's calipers, they take into account the use of the OEM rear brakes and design the piston bore to be specific for that cars braking bias, weight, and overall needs. For the Porsche Turbo, the front 6piston kit is a monoblock design to improve rigidity over the stock caliper for a more responsive pedal feel. The kit is available in a 355mm or 380mm rotor. The caliper weighs only 1lb more then the OEM 4piston design. This larger 6piston caliper however does not fit OEM Turbo Twist wheels. It does fit some 18 inch wheels though. The 380mm kit requires 19 inch wheels with such a massive rotor. It is not required to get the rear kit, but will improve braking performance overall. All Brembo kits are available in red, silver, black, or yellow calipers. We can do ANY custom colours as well if required. Rotors are available in your choice of drilled or slotted. We recommend slotted for the track guys thought! Now for the HARDCORE Track Guys, you need the custom spec GTR Racing Brake Kit. With all the same advantages of the GT kit, the GTR kit is custom built to your needs and specifications. You get the equivalent of a full race team brake kit without the maintenance needed. The nickle plating is inspired by what F1 race teams use and the calipers are 10% lighter then the current Monobloc calipers on the market. They are much stiffer, provide better pedal modulation. The NEW line of GT-R calipers were designed to provide every level of performance as these top level race calipers, but with superior plating for aesthetic longevity and corrosion resistance's, and incorporate a twin seal design that eliminates the need for the additional maintenance of rebuilding. A simple set of caliper temp stickers, (also available through Vivid Racing) is all you need to ensure you are running within optimal operating temperatures during the most aggressive track outings. Thus Brembo has released a GT-R kit that is street friendly and ready for the serious racer. For those that just cannot justify this kind of money for a Big Brake Kit but want better braking, try out Brembo's new 2 piece floating rotor replacements for the 4piston 330mm OEM caliper (or if you are using the 6piston GT3 caliper, the 350mm slotted rotor) Better pad wear, 3lbs of rotational weight savings per corner, and backing of the Brembo name. With the McLaren hardware setup, the rotor and hardware is the only consumable item on the discs. So when, if you ever do, need to replacement the rotors, you will retain the billet aluminum hat keeping replacement costs extremely low. Because of the McLaren hardware design, these rotors are GUARANTEED to last 2 times longer then the competition and much longer then the stock units. We suggest that an average track driver would probably see a good 1 year of use out of these rotors while a street car would probably see about 20-30K miles. This is a great modification for those wanting to keep costs low but greatly improve the braking of their street or track cars. We recommend using Pagid or OEM pads with this rotor and for best performance, run steel braided brake lines with synthetic brake fluid.

Bit more info & pics on the GT-R set up for those who just looove their stoppers. Each GT-R kit is fine tuned based on a criteria that takes your current vehicle specifications, combined with your intended driving style and usage, to create a brake system that will take you deeper into the corners with all the control and finesse needed to carry the maximum speed past the apex and get back onto the throttle. All calipers are available in narrow body for sprint racing, time attack, or HDPE events -OR- wide body versions for endurance racing or just extended track sessions. All rotors are available in lightweight -OR- high heat capacity versions to further fine tune each system the driving style or track conditions. This kit Includes: FRONT: 6-Piston Fully Forged Race caliper w/ titanium piston inserts. (optional narrow or wide body versions) REAR: 4-Piston Billet Race caliper w/ titanium piston inserts. Available in 355mm - 380mm disc diameters to provide maximum heat capacity while saving maximum unsprung and rotational weight. (lightweight and high heat capacity options available) The Brembo Full Race Big Brake Kit 6piston Front & 4piston Rear fits all 2001-2005 Porsche 996 Turbo, X50, and GT2. (It also fits all 2007+ Porsche 997 Turbo and GT2) These kits are made to order and are specifically designed for your braking needs. Suspension, tyre, vehicle weight, track type or race series all play into account how these kits are put together. Anyone interested in set just give us a shout with your requirements! :thumb:
