Installation / Review- Brembo 2-Piece Discs+Pads
One of the first major upgrades done to the GMG Racing’s 991 “WC-GT3″ was improve the braking reliability, longevity, and performance under track use. GMG Racing swapped out the Porsche OE discs, pads and fluid on the 991 GT3 with Brembo 2-piece discs, Race Technologies pads, and Brembo Racing HTC64T fluid.
Rotor Comparison
The Race Technologies TS20 compound was specified as the baseline pad since the car will be street driven and used on the track. The TS20 offers low noise, dust and good pedal feel. It is also an excellent dual purpose compound for street and light track use.
Front Rotor Type V (endurance)
Brembo Type V (endurance face type): motorsport developed face type with marginally less initial response compared to the type III face type. The Brembo Racing type V face type was also designed to have lower pad and disc wear for certain long distance endurance races (mostly 10, 12 and 24 hour races).
Rear Rotor Type III
911 GT3 Front “High Thermal” disc specifications:
- 380 x 34 disc – High Thermal
- Type III or Type V “Endurance” slot type
- 17 mm air-gap (narrow air-gap for the brake disc to have extra thermal capacity and durability under higher brake demand conditions)
- 72 vane ventilation
- 23 lbs - disc ring
- 24.5 lbs - complete 2-piece disc assembly
- Compatible with 911 Turbo (991) Models
911 GT3 Rear “High Thermal” disc specifications:
- 380 x 30 disc – High Thermal
- Type III slot type
- 16 mm air-gap
- 48 vane ventilation
- 20 lbs - disc ring.

- Compatible with 911 Turbo (991) Models

It has been a almost exactly a year since this thread was started, and we are just as satisfied with the Brembo 2-piece rotors today as we were then. We want to make sure we spend our free time behind the wheel, not underneath the car fixing faulty "performance" brakes. Brembo's performance, consistent quality, and customer support have continued to be second to none.
James had a nice review after his initial track day with the rotors (click here). You will find them on many of the cars in our care (not to mentioned our own).
