Brembo 97 - 04 986 Boxster S PISTA Rear Race BBK 2pc 345x28x54a 2pc Rotor T5

This Brembo PISTA rear race big brake kit is designed for the 1997-2004 Porsche Boxster S. It includes a pair of 2-piece rotors, measuring 345mm in diameter and 28mm thick, with a 54mm center hat. These kits are built for serious track use, offering a significant upgrade over stock braking components for improved performance and heat management when you're pushing the car hard.

The PISTA line from Brembo is their dedicated race offering, meaning these components are engineered for the demands of repeated hard braking on a circuit. The 2-piece rotor design is a key feature here. It allows the rotor ring to expand and contract independently of the center hat as it heats up, which helps prevent rotor warping and cracking under extreme thermal loads. This design also typically offers a weight savings compared to a one-piece rotor of the same size. The specific T5 rotor face pattern is designed to help clear dust and gas away from the pad surface, ensuring consistent stopping power lap after lap.

When installing a race-oriented big brake kit like this, it's important to understand that it's intended for track use. While it will offer improved performance on the street, the pad compounds often used with these kits can be noisy and may wear faster under daily driving conditions. Ensure you consult the manufacturer's installation instructions for proper fitment and any specific hardware or brake fluid recommendations for your Boxster S.
