Brembo 05-08 997.1 C2 (Excl PCCB) Fr GT BBK 4Pis Cast 2pc 355x32 2pc Rotor Slotted Type1-Silver

This Brembo GT Big Brake Kit is designed for the front of 2005-2008 Porsche 997.1 Carrera 2 models, specifically excluding those equipped with Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB). What you get in this kit are the essential components to significantly upgrade your vehicle's braking system: a pair of Brembo 4-piston GT calipers, two 355x32mm two-piece rotors featuring a Type 1 slotting pattern, and all the necessary hardware to get them installed. This is a substantial upgrade aimed at drivers who demand more from their braking performance, whether on the street or the track.

The heart of this kit lies in its robust construction and thoughtful design. The calipers are cast aluminum, chosen for their strength and ability to manage heat, which is crucial during hard braking. They house four pistons, providing more clamping force than typical factory calipers, leading to improved stopping distances and better pedal feel. The two-piece rotors are a standout feature; they combine a cast iron braking surface with an aluminum hat. This design helps reduce unsprung weight and allows for better thermal management, as the two pieces can expand and contract somewhat independently. The 355mm diameter and 32mm thickness offer a larger thermal mass to absorb and dissipate heat, while the Type 1 slotting on the rotor surfaces helps to sweep away dust and gas, maintaining consistent braking performance even under demanding conditions. The silver finish on the calipers adds a clean, performance-oriented look to your wheels.

Installing a big brake kit like this is a significant modification, and it's important to ensure it's the right choice for your specific vehicle. This kit is engineered for the 997.1 Carrera 2 but explicitly excludes PCCB-equipped cars, so double-check your factory brake setup. While this kit provides the core braking components, you may need to consider other supporting modifications or ensure your existing wheel setup has enough clearance for the larger calipers and rotors. Refer to the manufacturer's installation guide for detailed instructions and any specific requirements.
