Hello Gents,


any experience? what modification have to be done to use porsche 380mm discs on 997 turbo with steel brakes?

thanks, K

 

no one ?

 

Not done to answer your Q, but am curious as to why you want/need to do this?

I ask as my 997.2TT is the first car I have ever had to run to 10k miles on front discs! M3 E36 and E46, 540i, RS4...

Also cannot fault performance of them. So is this a track issue? (As have never tracked mine)

 

stock brembo 350 brakes are weak, I have also problem with 380mm brembo gt kit, so started to think about using 380mm porsche discs, same like gt3 2011.

Cant believe no one figure out this....?

 

Take a look at Stop Tech, Giro Disc, or Performance Friction. Also, check on the GT3/GT2 boards, where the change you are considering is quite common, as there is so much more tracking done vs. Turbos. I believe you will find more than a few kindred souls unhappy with their Brembos. Good luck.

 

Very simple. You need:
Gen 2 Porsche 380 Turbo front calipers (2x)
Porsche caliper adapters (2x) and bolts (4x)
Caliper bolts (4x)
Front caliper hard brake lines (2x)
380 front discs in TT offset (2x)

 

Currently the only companies making 380 discs in Turbo offsets are Brembo and the factory PCCB rotor. PFC does not have turbo hats and Giro no longer sells their 380s.

 

If you are tracking the car I could see your move to 380mm but the 350mm are more than enough for any type of street driving

 

What are the issues people are having with the Brembos?
