Brembo 12-16 991.1 C2 Rear GT BBK 4 Piston Cast 380x28 2pc Rotor Slotted Type3-Red

If you're looking to significantly improve the braking performance of your 2012-2016 Porsche 991.1 Carrera 2, a Big Brake Kit (BBK) like this one from Brembo is a serious consideration. This kit is designed to replace your factory rear brake components with larger, more robust parts that can handle higher temperatures and provide more consistent stopping power, especially during spirited driving or track use. The larger 380x28mm two-piece rotors and four-piston calipers work together to offer a substantial upgrade over stock.

This Brembo GT BBK features a cast aluminum caliper body, known for its strength and ability to dissipate heat. The calipers are finished in a vibrant red, adding a visual enhancement to your wheels. The two-piece rotor design is a notable improvement, allowing the rotor ring to expand and contract independently of the hub assembly. This helps reduce the risk of rotor warping and cracking under extreme thermal loads. The rotors themselves are slotted with Brembo's Type 3 pattern, which helps to sweep away dust and gas buildup, maintaining optimal pad contact and consistent braking performance. The larger rotor surface area and the multi-piston caliper design mean more pad material is in contact with the rotor, generating greater clamping force and improved stopping distances.

When installing a Big Brake Kit, it's important to ensure all components are properly fitted and bled according to the manufacturer's instructions. This kit is designed as a direct replacement for the rear axle of the specified 991.1 Carrera 2 models, aiming for a straightforward installation process. You'll likely notice a significant difference in pedal feel and braking confidence after installation, especially when pushing your car to its limits.
