Brembo 99-04 996 Rear GTR BBK 4 Piston Billet 345x28 2pc Rotor Slotted Type1-Nickel

The 345x28mm, two-piece rotor construction in this Brembo Rear GTR Big Brake Kit is a key detail, allowing for better heat management and reduced unsprung weight compared to a single-piece design. This kit is specifically designed for the 1999-2004 Porsche 911 (996) model, aiming to significantly improve braking performance for a vehicle that demands it. The four-piston billet aluminum calipers are built for strength and lightness, working in concert with the slotted rotors to provide consistent stopping power.

Brembo's Type 1 slotting pattern on the rotors is chosen for its effectiveness in clearing dust and gas away from the pad surface, which helps maintain optimal friction and prevents glazing, especially during repeated hard braking. The nickel plating on the rotors offers a layer of corrosion resistance, important for maintaining appearance and longevity. This kit represents a substantial upgrade over the factory braking system, intended for owners who push their vehicles hard and require a braking system that can keep up under demanding conditions. The combination of advanced materials and thoughtful design aims to deliver a noticeable improvement in pedal feel and fade resistance.

When installing a kit of this caliber, it's important to ensure all components are properly seated and torqued according to Brembo's specifications. While this kit focuses on the rear axle, it's designed to integrate with the vehicle's existing brake system to provide a balanced braking bias. For those looking to maximize their vehicle's performance envelope, a high-performance brake kit like this is a critical component.
