Talking Brembo Brake Upgrade on EVT700 Project @ SharkWerks

We actually have a pair of EVT700 cars we were working on this week but I'll show you the other one later. This particular car however has no stone left unturned... we've done an EVT700 kit, full TechArt Type II, HRE Monoblocks, a full suspension overhaul (including the TechArt noselift) and as of now we did some brake upgrades too.

The "Ultimate EVT700" project did actually come back one "more" time for a full front/rear Brembo big brake upgrade kit.

The factory caliper (and Girodisc rotor) up front:


Over to the rear:


Enter the replacements...


The customer chose to go with Brembo's 6-piston set up with the "yellow" caliper option:


The larger 380mm two piece rotors:


Upgrading and going "bigger" doesn't necessarily have to mean more weight either. Here's the new Brembo caliper on the scale:


In comparison here's the slightly heavier factory caliper:


Next up, the larger 380mm two piece rotor from Brembo. For reference, the factory front rotors weigh in at 25.6 pounds in the front (and 22.1 pounds in the rear).:


Totting up the total weight savings in the front vs a factory set up you would be looking 62.64 pounds for the Brembo upgrade vs 77.36 pounds for the stock Porsche units (almost 15 pounds of unsprung weight savings).

On goes the new front kit along with the included Goodrich brake lines:


And over to the larger rears which go from a single piece factory 350mm rotor to a two piece 380mm set up along with a lighter 4-piston caliper (the E-brake functions as normal).


Checking wheel fitment with the 19-inch HRE Monoblock P43 wheels



Ready for a test-drive (and for bedding):



But wait there's more... before delivery there was just enough time for a few more MACarbon goodies:







Ready for home:


Away she goes... an EVT700, with HREs, full suspension links, brembo brakes, TechArt noselift, TechArt Type II aero, MA Carbon interior and a full FIVE fins worthy of stuff. You can see the entire build on our site.

Alex, great photos, literature and info.

Does Brembo offer the new 2-piece slotted floating rotors in 380mm size ?

Thank you Q8_TwinTurbo and absolutely they do... it's a no-cost option and what I would suggest for the track guys. Just like we did on this other EVT700 car:
