Must Have for GT3 Track Drivers - 2pc Brembo Rotors
We now exclusively how these Brembo 2 piece racing front brake rotors to work with your stock GT3 6piston brakes. $1895/pair.
Improving upon the factory Porsche brake system is something that is not easy. Basic upgrades include pads, steel braided brake lines, and some good synthetic brake fluid. But without going to a full Brembo aftermarket brake kit, what else can you do?
Brembo has developed these OEM replacement 2 piece fully floating rotors for the stock brake caliper system. The Porsche brake system is very well balanced. However, for those that push their Porsche to the limit on the track or street, improving upon the brake rotors is one of the largest advancements in the brake system. These 350×32mm rotors are designed with racing in mind for those Porsche drivers who simply, want the best. The engineering of these rotors comes from Brembo’s top level racing divisions. The same engineering goes into their brake kits as used in many professional racing vehicles. The slotted venting pattern that the rotor has helps dissipate heat faster and will not crack like drilled rotors. One reason you see most race cars with slotted rotors is because of this. Drilled rotors look nice, but true braking performance is done with slotted discs.
The hats and rotors utilize the Patented McLaren floating hardware as pictured. The exclusive purpose of Brembo’s McLaren hardware is to mimic the function of a full floating disc while minimizing the noise that can become a nuisance on the street. While the McLaren hardware does an excellent job of completely reducing this noise, it would have been pointless to waste all of this engineering, testing, and effort on just one function when the full floating rotor serves many other important functions on its own. For the McLaren design, “anti-rattle” is only one of the functions. The hardware must be able to minimize the noise while still allowing the disc to properly float and achieve every additional benefit of a floating disc. The Brembo rotors are 100% Brembo made. These come directly from the Brembo factories with the utmost attention to detail, quality control, and R&D. No outsourcing or collaboration parts are done, so you can continually trust the Brembo brand.
The addition of these rotors offers an incredible reduction of unsprung and rotational weight. Each rotor weighs only 22.6lbs compare to the stock rotor of 25.5lbs saving you 3lbs per corner! The fully floating hardware allows the disks to seek a true center line for improved pedal feel and modulation in racing or hard driving conditions. With the quality of these Brembo rotors, it is virtually impossible to warp the rotors and gives even pad wear and rotor wear. Overall, these disks will last longer then the OEM units while giving premier braking performance.
Comparatively to the competition, the Brembo product uses superior materials, manufacturing processes, and the R&D with quality control that you can only expect from the Brembo name. Having first hand used other products on the track and street, Brembo has continually proven itself to be the best quality and have the proper performance level that high end Porsche drivers demand.
These DO NOT work with the PCCB. Rear kits are scheduled for production soon. These fit either the 996GT3 or the 997GT3.

Well Dan... what can I say... these are THE REAL DEAL.
I was first pushed into these Brembo's by Steve Rance (Parr Motorsport who competes in the Porsche Carrera Cup UK series) these are a fantastic Rotor... I am heavy on the brakes and along with the extra weight of my bus these Rotors last way beyond anything else I have had... stopping power is immense. There are a stack of track guys that run these here in the UK... very nice product Dan
Steve - got any pics of them installed on your car?

Some good news as we have sold through our first batch. Brembo has decided to offer a SPECIAL deal for our next stocking order to pass on to the customers Thanks Brembo!
The price is now $1795 per pair and you get 2 FREE bottles of Brembo Synthetic Brake Fluid.
Yeah these Brembo rotors are more expensive then the competition. But you get what you pay for and with Brembo you are guaranteed to get twice the life out of these then from the competitions rotor. The Brembo Rotor is also lighter then the competitions which there is no better weight then rotational weight to save. There is a reason Brembo is Brembo!
AND EVEN BETTER.....
The rear rotors are now available. $1995/pair. 350x28mm

Squeal is a phenomenon that can occur for 100's of different reasons.
The problem is that there are 100's of different causes and very few real fixes for it.
The root of the problem is an audible vibration, which is a bi-product of the friction, which is a bi-product of performance braking. There are some pretty effective "band-aids", but noting that is 100% effective all the time.
You can try those anti-squeal gels that they sell at normal auto parts stores.
You'll want to apply the gel on the backing plate where the piston makes it's contact, and also along the left and right edges where the backing plate bakes contact with the caliper body.
Out side of that, when you start with new discs you'll want to do a very thorough and effective bed-in process. This helps many times even with aggressive pads, but only when the discs are new.
A last resort is to chamfer the pads at the leading edge.
(that is the end of the pad that makes first contact with the disc)
Ferrari's OEM pads are cut like this because their cars are notorious for squeal.
This allows the pad to gradually "bite" onto the disc. You will loose some surface area of the pad, but that does not effect performance.
Other than that you could try different pad compounds, but as I mentioned earlier, it's a bi-product of performance. Pads that guarantee no squeal usually offer lower coefficients of friction. The really $#itty deal is that you can have 2 nearly identical cars, with the same pads and discs, and one will squeal like a pig and the other quiet as a sleeping baby. Now go try to figure that one out!

Reason: typo
The Brembo Rotor is also lighter then the competitions which there is no better weight then rotational weight to save. There is a reason Brembo is Brembo!
AND EVEN BETTER.....
The rear rotors are now available. $1995/pair. 350x28mm
BTW...weight savings on the rear disc:
-5lbs each.
That's a total of -10lbs unprung and rotational weight savings.
I am looking for more GT3 guys that want a demo price to show off the performance here.
