With this car seeing more and more track duty a few updates were in order including the TechArt lowering spring kit and a full front/rear Brembo GT slotted brake system.

In she comes with a complete mexico blue wrap for protection at the track...


With multiple track days (and pad/rotor changes) the weight/speed and thermal capacity of the stock braking system (carried over from the Cayenne) yielded these results. The pads were worn out, rotor worn through...


Stock caliper and worn-out rotor in front:


Same story in the rear (notice the uneven surface etc...):



Pads worn down severely after a couple of track days:


Off come the rotors, stock lines and calipers and on goes the TechArt lowering spring kit:


The GT system awaits going from 13.3inch fronts and 13.3 inch rears to 15-inches:


In front now sporting a front 6-piston GT caliper and 380mm two piece slotted rotor for improved cooling properties. Stainless steel Goodrich lines and race pads are also added. The overall bite is much improved as are the thermals.


And the fully upgraded rear Brembo GT kit, with a four piston monoblock caliper, 380mm slotted rotors, Goodrich stainless lines and racier track pads:


Front fitment is not an issue with 20-inch HRE P40SC monoblok wheels...



Rears are a-ok check:


It's hard to make more power on these 991s but our age-old trick since the 996 days seems to always work- 5hp right there:


After a test-drive and strict bedding-in procedure she's ready for more track days:

I would think you just got a little faster! Those brakes look invincible.

Nicely done...I love that color!

ArashApollo

Wow looks great! Love the wheels. What wing is that?

great job, sharkey. I've always preferred the slotedt 2 piece vs the stock drilled. tks

Nice...reminds me of the slotted brakes on my Panny GTS....big and raw!

Man...that is one sweet looking package.

Beautiful. I never get tired of Mexico Blue on any P car.

How much weight savings, if any, over the stock discs and calipers?

Carrera GT

I'll have what he's having.

Dan@SharkWerks

Rotors are lighter: 3.7 lb each front, 2.2 lb each rear.

The calipers weigh about 1 lb more each.

See this previous write up on a 991, for weights:

Thanks. Not sure I'm ready to give up my stock calipers but I love the discs. Looks like there are some good replacement disc options on the market now including these, Girodisc, and the slotted Brembos referenced in another thread by Shizzle.

Who did the wrap on this car?

Hmm not sure. I'll ask when he comes back for our exhaust
