New Girodisc discs, Ferodo pads and ceramic tint. I went with 70% tint on the windshield, and 40% on the five windows.

Sure, simple answer. I warped my rotors, and boiled my brake fluid racing down Highway 9 in Northern CA.

I upgraded all my brakes and the fluid to repair/replace, and better handle whatever I may need in performance down the road. I drive my 991.1 everyday...

What’s great about the GiroDisc system is that now I only have to replace the outside rotor and pads, the hats are permanent. Higher cost up front, much less money overall.

The brake pad pad and rotor combo is wonderful, larger brake surface, but using OEM calipers via spacers.

John and Linda at Apex (nice folks) offer a discount to all Rennlister’s.

Highway 9 must be a magical road if it provides that much of a (FUN) opportunity to do that kind of damage.

I have a Carrera T and made the mistake of not getting the PCCB's when I ordered it. I like to track every once and a while and the base brakes did not last long on track. Even with track pads and high temp brake fluid I still managed to boil the fluid. The base brakes are 4 piston front so going to a 6 piston front and 4 piston rear with 380 rotors should rectify that issue.... I will know for sure after I take it out for a few laps on Sunday.

Let us know your impressions after your track time. Looking at the same thing here and welcome your thoughts. Have fun and be safe out there....

Ordered my car with it already installed. Amazing what a small feature like that can do to improve the profile view of the car. Amazing really.

Yes, I use it as a result of this list. I think it works well. Because my car is a DD with plenty of stop and go traffic, I still have to do a thorough wash and clean every two weeks with Outlast, and just a quick rinse in the alternating weeks (without applying more Outlast).

So yes, this has been a big improvement.
