Good afternoon,

I wabt to change my brakes on the 997 GT2 and was hoping you could clear a few things up for me:

- are the brakes on the gt2 the same as the 997 gt3? (i.e 350mm front and rear)

- PFC seem to have the best rep and seem reasonably priced with there slotted discs - does the cup car use them now? did they in 09?

- Ive been told before to look into P motorsport discs which the 997 cup car used - do you know what they were?

and finial question, when it comes to stopping power: do the discs really matter that much or are more expensive (Brembos?) only better for life/heat cycles etc

Thanks

The PCCB pads are nearing 50% on my 997 GT2 - not bad for 40k miles!

I'm probably going to buy some PF steels and put the PCCBs in a box as they're in really good nick.



The clutch has just started slipping. Matt at Fearnsport is recommending the 890 Sachs clutch as a replacement. Has anyone gone down this route? I remember reading somewhere that this clutch had caused gearbox issues, or am I making that up?
Matt did my clutch, also a 890 Sachs. Its pretty heavy for traffic driving - no issues otherwise
