What do Ceramic Brake Discs Actually do on a Porsche (exept be bright Yellow)?
My dads currently got a Audi RS4 but is thinking of getting a new Porsche 997 911 Turbo.He was running through the option list and he, nor I, knew what the Ceramic Brake Discs.They are a £5,000/£6,00 option and wasnt going to fork out that sort of money untill he really knew what they are. There supposed to be "Fade Free" Is this True? If anyone knows anything about them in great detail please write back
P.S He has spoken to a Dealer about them
Carbon ceramic brakes do have a number of advantages. First is weight. Theyre about half the weight of steel rotors, which is a huge difference in both unsprung and rotating mass.
They also are fade free. That being said, In my 996 GT2 with hoosiers (racing tires), I recently switched to steel rotors (the PCCB ones were dieing on me, and theyre hideously expensive), and I have yet to get any fade. The fade issue would only come into play in rather long races with very hard braking.
They also do wear extremely well, but the cost of running them is still far more than steel brakes. instead of an 8 thousand dollar set of ceramic rotors, I bought some performance friction (awesome brakes) rotors for about 350 bucks a piece.
The last upside to the ceramics is the awesomely linear pedal feel. In hard braking its just totally linear stopping power. Steel rotors you usually have to do a hard initial stomp to generate more heat, then slowly let off a bit to get maximum braking.
If youre not doing significant track use, dont even bother with them. If you are, Im still not sure I would. Theyre awesome, just not 8 grand a set awesome.
And tell him to consider a 996 GT2. Much more raw/awesome car. its like the turbo's twisted, insane cousin.
