Regardless of what calipers you have, you may be confused with different components of OE calipers and what's inside the caliper (for the same functionality) RB has the solution for you, with Simple & Less components and they work better, much better than OE once the calipers are rebuilt with RB components.

Have to say it's not clear to me what your post is meant to convey. Plus you posted it in the 997 forum and none of your photos are of 997 components. I know it's early out there on the left coast but you may want to take a look at it.

 

Perhaps he means:

- we are experts on porsche braking systems
- we offer replacement caliper pistons for all/many? pcars
- ours are lighter
- we are implying ours a stronger
- stocking today, pm for a quote for your car
- we appreciate being a part of and supporter for this community

 

Wonderful interpretation & thank you.

The pictures show various versions of 911 OE calipers' piston/seal/shim/puck etc. Nevertheless they can all be consolidated and replaced to the same simple, unified composition and durable RB rebuilding components for lasting and improved performance.

A good practice for maintaining a track car is to tune the calipers other than just replacing the pad and rotor, so to ensure the whole brake system is always in peak shape. When was the last time you did this?

RB is proud to make this caliper rebuilding components available so can just buy and replace only the components you need than must buying a new set of caliper from dealer.

We don't just copy OE parts like others we make them better.

 

I'm familiar with RB and your products - I had my old GT3 calipers rebuilt with your boots and seals 18 months or so ago and was pleased with the result. I would use them again based on that experience. However if I had just bought my first Porsche and just joined the RL 997 community and that post was my first encounter with RB, well..I don't know. But that's just me. Initial comment was intended as constructive criticism.

 

Thank you for sharing your experience. I just used the same thread content from the original post in 991 forum, which has a good collection of the variety of OE calipers.

This 996 customer who actually retrofitted his brake to 997 and rebuilt them with RB components, so we like to associate to caliper specific than car models for better accuracy.

 

Those parts look neat, but your posts read like they are written by a Nigerian email scammer.

On a side note, I am very curious about what causes a brake piston to fracture like that. I am not a racer and have never seen a brake piston do that. I have seen them tilt and bind, overheat and bind, rust and bind, but never just come apart like the ones in your pictures.

What caused that and is it common in racing?

 

Curious as well but that's from a 991 GT3 and you can see the previous picture, the 991 GT3 piston is a 3 piece system so it looks like the top piece fractured, not sure about the actual piston beneath it. That top piece looks like it's not even metal - ceramic? Not familiar with the 991 GT3 brake system... maybe the actual piston is still in tact?

Indeed--it does look like a separate piece that attaches to the metal piston. Now I'm curious about what it's made of and why it's used, instead of a solid, one-piece piston.
