Brembo Puts the Stop on a 997 GT3

One of our loyal forum customers sent us these photos of his silver 997 GT3 ripping around the track. The GT3 is the ultimate track car but like every vehicle, improvements can be made. Nicknamed SwatDoc, he has upgraded all 4 corners with the Brembo 2pc floating rotors. The rotors save 3lbs per corner in the front and 5lbs per corner in the rear. Since this is a track car, he has decided to run the Pagid Yellow RS19 brake pads for the ultimate bite on the road course. With the floating rotor using the patented McLaren hardware, the rotor is in a true center line giving the pad even wear. Read more on the Brembo 2pc Rotors for the 997 GT3 or Turbo here .

Here's a link from another post that asked the same question...

https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/2237577-post11.html

In short, it's more expensive to produce, therefore the retail prices are higher.
- More expensive hat/bell design.
- More expensive disc due to lower production volume.
