Aftermarket Brake Upgrades and Brake Philosophy

[Rasmus]

The best of the best.

Discussion of all aftermarket upgrades and offering for the 818. Brake philosophy and tuning. Be sure to list your application (e.g. gravel, road race, drag, hill climb, autox, show-n-shine) :cool:.

I'd recommend a set of 13.2 inch custom carbon ceramic rotors and 6 piston, fixed position, aluminum forged then cnc'd calipers up front. 12.6 inch carbon ceramic rotors with 4 piston, fixed position, aluminum forged then cnc'd calipers in the back. The ultimate in weight savings and heat dissipation. 24 hour endurance road racing.

New replacement rotors for the Porsche 911 with PCCB option are around $8000/pr msrp

A used setup can be had for 7500+

LIC motorsports could probably convert your sti hubs to 5x130 then you'd just need the right spacers and custom brackets. You could probably make it work on the 818 for $10k

I don't know if you'd be able to get a custom setup for that price.

Seems expensive until you look at a set of F/R endless or project mu brakes which are about the same price with steel rotors.

You could also cnc custom hats for Porsche take-offs.

That works too.

Rotora makes a bolt on big brake kit, 4 355 carbon rotors and 6/4 piston calipers for the wrx/sti...

$16k for standard calipers, $18k with titanium pistons. (for 4)
