Cheers and for sure not everyone wants/likes the same HRE P40s etc... but he wanted something forged, light and rare so the CEC ones come in around 21 pounds.
20 in front and 23 in rear.
Thanks and see above
Sorry Tom, first time we've seen/used them but they're made well in Germany and forged/light.
Thanks!
I know the Champion guys and their Werks1 division wind-tunnel test their stuff quite intensively so it does work
No need to be sorry and appreciate any feedback of course. The car actually started as a daily driver for him but this past year he's gotten into tracking very seriously and so once his stock brakes (which of course are world class- come from the 996tt basically) started to become an issue in terms of fade (the car is heavy after all) and needed replacing he wanted to go with something that had more bite, slotted rotors that dissipated heat better and lasted longer. The 6-piston kit is also lighter overall. Absolutely it does stop/work/function better for the track
Cheers! On the rear... It's something that the Champion Motorsports guys developed for all the 911's and it's rarely used (I know Turbo guys use it) but they sure do wind-tunnel test it
Thanks and for sure I agree! That's the road he's probably going to go down I think in the near future. We can just carry over the suspension and brake parts at least.
Thanks and actually it's the best driving 997.2S we've done. Really sticks to the curves and he's pulling some great times at the track.
Roger that. Stockers aren't my fav. either!
Forgot to say on his stockers he actually has race rubber on there:P

With the exception of the lowered stance, I think the car looked better before.
Those wheels are awful and the rear diffuser is just stupid. Sorry.
Did you do any tests on the braking distance? Do they even make an improvement?
Just seems like a waste of money. 911's brake so well stock.

Nice job (as usual) overall. I actually like the wheels and the carbon bits. But that diffuser just looks out of place to me. It looks great on the F430 but looks awful on the 911. In any case carbon fiber is not the best choice of material for "underbody" parts that may be subject to scraping as it is brittle, very difficult to repair and very expensive to replace.
I gotta jump in here... I think it looks GREAT. Not all wheels work in all circumstances but I really like these. They some how add a nice aesthetic touch without taking the bad-boy look away. And the diffuser? Form vs. Function? I think it's cool. I'd like to drive this car!
