Movit Brakes on GT3 Update. Monumentally Capable and Bulletproof. Pictures/Details
#91
It sounds like a majority of the cost (and rightfully so) is in the rotor. Peter, I don't think you would be saving much over what you use right now, if I were ready to spend $30k+ on a brake kit I bet Movit could include calipers and 380/350 rotors that fit under 18" wheels. Fantastic product, just not price sensitive enough for me.

The only difference between Gen 2 and Gen 3 rotors are Gen 2 are 34mm thick and Gen 3 are 40mm thick. The full MovIt kits are Gen 3 in front the replacement OE rotors or upsized rotors for use with Porsche calipers are Gen 2 rotors.

Guys...I'm very sorry that I cannot be more specific but just some information:
- I believe the product is very good (and very light!?)
- Yet I rarely see race/track cars with Movit Ceramics...and I see and know many cars that are built by pro teams with pro engineers and drivers...
- I know a guy who has a 997 GT3 RS and he has had these Movit Ceramics for a couple of years. He tracks the car maybe max. 5 times per one year...(these are private track days, 3-4 hour events with open pit lane, organized by me)
- Currently, after a couple of years of use, he just sent the rotors back to Movit for some "maintenance"...no clue about the current status. I don't know whether he is currently happy with the product, but it seems they need some maintenance if not replacement. It might be just professionally "grinding" the rotors...I apologize that I don't know the specifics...just FYI.

"The MOVIT-CER rotors offers a unique and homogeneous material structure, a very high life span, improved mechanical and thermal characteristics and a continuous structure. In case of damage, MOVIT offers a cost-efficient method of refurbishment, after which the refurbished disc is as good as new."

The cars that benefit most from this tech are big and heavy, these are most likely to be running in series which strive to keep costs down.
The Supercup runs PCCBs but this is a marketing series....

What teams in the VLN run PCCB's, and more specifically Movit ceramics?
#103
I don't know if I can agree with this. The biggest advantage of PCCB's is the weight. Less rotating mass. That is something every car can benefit from.

A cursory examination of Movit's web site will give you an indication of their Motorsport involvement. You will see that their ferrous rotor based systems are also popular in competition and on sporting cars.
