i have the normal breaks on my car and would like to do an exchange with a cousin of mine he has the ceramic breaks so what needs to be changed and how hard is it to do the whole exchange?

 

Uh...is your cousin's ceramics from his 997TT or another model? Reason why I'm asking is because the non-turbos have different sized rotors up front. I think however that the GT3/RS has the same sized rotors though. I'm not 100% sure on that though.

 

he has a 2007 997TT with 25000miles so is that okay?

 

Yeah, that'd be fine then. Just be prepared to fork over some $$$ for the brake swap. I'm not sure if it'd be pretty straightforward or not. Maybe you'd have to re-program the ECU, etc.

 

ohh all i want it to save some weight

 

Get lighter wheels instead. That'd be a lot less involved.

 

agreed, get some dymag's (or champ mags) if you are that concerned about weight

 

im getting the HRE C21's too

 

do i need to change anything else besides the rotors and calipers?

 

No, but I would not put that junk on my car. They are not up to par and the wear on them is extremely high. I swapped brakes for a whole new system and have had people with the ceramic brakes swap for the same setup. I would not do it

 

Do you have more info on the brembo system you are using? i tried a search but didnt get all the answers. do you know the weight saving compared to the ceramic brakes? and would like to know the price too

 

Oh that's smart....people buying the $8,000 ceramic system and then having them swapped out for a $8,000 (or less) aftermarket braking solution.

 

Stephen,

Are you saying the OEM Ceramic brakes are junk in your opinion?

 

Its very quiet in here.

 

Atomic,

MKS is gonna be swapping his brake setup with his cousin free of charge. So there is no way that he has put any money into it. The information that i have gather from browsing this forum is the following; the Brembo GT brake kit is far more superior to the PCCB setup. BTW Atomic, what are you feeling sorry for. You have not shed any money buying or swapping those brake sets.

Atomic, nice photos of Germany.

PorschePHD, what is the weight difference between the PCCB and the Brembo brake kit you installed ?
