Yes, 997 GT2. Great car. We track the car. Front brake wear is bad. Bottom of pads wear out first. This time front right outside pad had zero wear and top and into rivets on bottom. Left side better this time but with more wear on bottom of pads, but could of ran another day of track time. Any ideas as to solution?

I can tell you that with all the testing that was done on my car for the magazines the GTs were the better choice. Not only from performance but also from a cost stand point in up front cost and cost of maintaining them

If you are going to spend the money to upgrade your stock steel brakes, the most bang for the buck is the Brembo GT system, especially if you will be tracking your car.

I have owned vehicles with both and have worked with a ton of customers in the same situation as you. The only advantage of the PCCB brakes at this point is the lighter disc. The Brembo GT kit is all ready much lighter than the brakes you have now and will offer increased pad and rotor life, improve pedal feel, the best modulation, and overall performance is much better during extended use at the track. There is additional weight savings with the PCCB's over the Brembo GT kit, but the replacement costs for pads and rotors becomes exponential over time.


If the car came with PCCB's then it might be worth thinking about.
Since you car came with standard steel brakes, the Brembo GT kit is the best option overall.


I keep these kit's in stock in all colors including Yellow.
I would recommend Slotted discs if you will be tracking.
And I can include a pad compound that will do very well for both track and street use.

Give us a call or send me a PM !
