SC/Carrera Brake Upgrade for The Track

[Bravoaloha]

Hey Guys,

I have gone through most of the threads on this topic and I know it has been exhausted. The consensus ofcourse is to convert the car to 930 brakes but everyone knows how expensive that setup is.

Many threads mention a Brembo setup from Race Technologies, but I havn't come across anyone who has actual experience with this setup.

1986 Porsche 911S / SC / Carrera | Race Technologies | Brembo Official Partner

Still expensive but more affordable than the turbo setup.

Running 16x7's (et 23.3) in the front and 16x9's (et 15) in the back.

Would love to know if theres anyone out there that has some experience with the Brembo's.

I came across this as well but there doesn't seem to be any information out there on this kit.

I have no experience with the kit from StopTech, but more food for thought;

fwiw, I ran 964/951 calipers on my SC. They were quite effective with heat management. The downside was an undersized (diameter) rear rotor that caused "unique" pad wear. That said, I could run 3 day events and have no concern of fade and often times could go 2-3 events without bleeding brakes. Of note, I was also running cooling ducts mounted on the front a-arms. They were similar to this: http://www.vehiclecraft.com/Brakes/VCI911_2_964.htm

You will find, if you follow a progression of DE to PCA CR, that brake changes can impact the class your car runs in.. which is why many club racers use the stock brakes, get as much air as possible on the brakes, and learn to brake very little

The best brakes for any 911 are the original Porsche (Brembo) 930 brakes. Period.
Expensive, but well worth it!

Before you drop big bucks on a new braking system for the track try upgrading to racing pads, stainless lines, racing brake fluid, and some cooling ducts on the front brakes. The stock brakes are pretty damn good with these changes.
