Porsche 997 GT3 Cup Car Brakes From Brembo and Pagid

One of our customers from the Gold Coast of Australia got his Porsche GT3 Cup race car braking much better in competition with the assistance of Brembo and Pagid.  Performance Specialist Ahmed advised him on what would provide the best braking for his track functions.  We equipped the car with a set of Brembo’s 2 piece floating rotor replacements for the stock rotors.  The front rotors are a slotted pattern in a 380x34mm and the rears a 350x32mm with the proper anulus for the GT3 needs.  The floating rotors use the patented McLaren hardware which gives the brake pad a true centerline for even heat dissipation, pad wear, and saves several pounds of rotational weight compared to the stock 1 piece rotors.  To help with stopping, we went with the Pagid Yellow RS19 brake pads in the front and rear.  These brake pads are a top choice for weekend racers.  Taking a short bit to warm up, they have great bite and last for long endurance runs.  The RS19 heat coefficient and compound gets the job done without destroying rotors.  Want to see more Porsche Brake Parts?

The kits include:

  • New cast racing caliper with hard-anodized finish to improve resistance to thermal and mechanical stresses typical in the racing world.  During the design stage, particular attention was paid to obtaining the best ratio of stiffness and weight reduction using special machining techniques.
  • Brembo thermo tape on the caliper
  • Type III groove assembled floating discs (from 332 to 355mm) with high thermal capacity and heat dissipation
  • Caliper brackets
  • Steel braided brake lines.

BREMBO RACING

Founded in 1961, Brembo began racing in 1975 when Enzo Ferrari entrusted the Bergamo-based, high-performance brake manufacturer with the task of fitting its most prestigious Formula One car.  Since then, Brembo has been at the forefront of the motorsports arena, winning over 200 world championships.

Racing teams and manufacturers such as Aston Martin, Audi, Ducati, Ferrari, Peugeot, Porsche, Maserati, Mercedes, Suzuki and Yamaha, who demand the best, turn to the experts in braking technology and performance: Brembo.  The strong support and trusted relationships that Brembo has with more than 30 original equipment manufacturers and hundreds of Championship Winning Race Teams in F1, NASCAR, sports cars and motorcycles, is based on the fact that Brembo is the industry benchmark.

Time to Get Truck Nasty with American Outlaw

When it comes to American performance cars, the Z06 Corvette rains supreme. The light weight, high horsepower car is closer to a super car than a traditional sports car. But like nearly every car on the market today, a set of wheels can transform a car from good to great. Our customer paired his Corvette Z06 with a set of gloss black TE37′s by Volk Racing. The staggered fitment of choice is 18×9.5 +35 front and a 19×12 +57 rear. The outcome is a flush fitting wheel that accents the aggressive styling of the Z06. Volk Racing offers a wide range of wheels, but the TE37 is by far the favored choice. They come in fitments ranging from Subaru WRX to the Corvette Z06 you see here.

As an R35 driver, owner, enthusiast or even a forum member you are aware of a lack of performance in  towards the brake components. With replacement discs from the dealership offered at staggering prices, it is an issue that a dozen brake manufacturers have jumped on to address. When it comes to track use and R35 cars coming out of performance shops around the world boasting 1000+ WHP replacement friction rings an updated pad just doesn’t get the job done.  As a world renowned leader in braking innovation Alcon has upped the ante and set the bar high! Alcon CCX specification for the Nissan GTR: 400mm front ventilated cross drilled CCX discs mounted to stainless steel bells 385mm rear ventilated cross drilled CCX discs mounted to stainless steel bells New 6 piston monobloc billet front calipers fitted with Alcon CCX-1 pads exclusive to Alcon supplied by Pagid 6 piston monobloc billet rear callipers fitted with Alcon CCX-1 pads exclusive to Alcon supplied by Pagid Complete with all hardware to enable fitment under the OE 20 inch GTR rims Brake later, brake harder – with improved stability – lap after lap, without fade. It’s just what you need when you’re attacking the track. Alcon CCX brakes offer almost a 30% reduction in brake disc mass over the original equipment, yet deliver a 10% increase in braking torque. Alcon’s motorsport experience and tested extensively on both the road as well as the very technical Nurburgring, CCX is the last word in braking when it comes to on-track performance. Traditionally, it is accepted that carbon ceramic brakes are not generally suitable for road use as they rarely attain the high working temperature needed to work efficiently. This isn’t the case with the design of Alcon’s CCX system, where efficient braking starts from cold, delivering exceptional initial bite. Alcon CCX is confidence inspiring for all levels of driver ability. Shorter stopping distances and increased vehicle stability under even the heaviest braking not only improves road safety but makes for the ultimate late braking on the track time after time. “I found driving (or stopping) your GTR a really mindstretching experience. I’ve never known a car with such powerful, easily modulated, fade-free brakes.” Steve Cropley, AutoCar     Alcon Releases CCX Super Brake Kit To Crush The Competition!
