Two questions one post.

Ceramics looking tatty, should I be looking at Brembo/Alcon on the front and steels at the back? How much would this be?

Also on a driving style side. At Silverstone yesterday in a torrential downpour found that I have a lot of turn in understeer with a smidge of exit oversteer, I understand this is typical for a GT3 but what style can be employed on turn in to eradicate this initial understeer without destabilising the car?

Thanks

Sam

Trail braking into the corner will help with understeer, but obviously you are intentionally rotating the car so it will be less planted.

The brakes are about 2.5k GBP including pads & vat but + fitting (maybe a little more as I got pads from a mate for a bit less). The brakes are great - everytime I take people out for pax laps it is the brakes that perhaps strike them most.

Thanks dan, reading about the Alcons on the other thread has got me thinking.

This might be a cheaper option for the rears :

(using 997 350mm disk)

Fronts you could also just use the Porsche motorsport disks, but if you brake hard they will only last approx five trackdays. The alcons should last 20-30 days I'm told.

Thanks again Dan, are the motorsport fine for road use? I suspect I'll be calling JZM after easter.

Yeah just thinner + cheaper. Thinner is irrelevent though as they always crack before they wear.
