To all,

As some of you know, I am lucky enough to love cars and actually be able to indulge in this "expensive" hobby. I have track-dayed or raced quite some machinery and have always found the brakes to be THE determining factor for posting good times and having safe and lasting fun.

I have used Brembos (all of my Porsches including current Techart 996 Turbo with 540 hp), AP Racing (initially on the Cerb, but also the 6 piston setup on my Tuscan racer) and Movit on my Viper GTS and now the Cerb. These are by far and I mean it the best brakes around. The stopping power is unbelievable, and endurance is second to none. I drove my Viper for 12.000 miles mostly fast road and trackdays with no change of discs. More amazingly the famous Sport Auto magazine in Germany has run the 24 hours of the Nürburgring with a NSX last year and Movit brakes, with a top finish. The car is back this year with the same brakes, only the pads being changed!

In any case the guy to contact is André Schroeder on TVR@pt.lu he is the man for Movit.

Here are some pics of my car after fitting the beauties

One of the big differences with AP or Brembo, is that the calipers are CNC machined from one solid block vs casting them. Huge difference in resistance and longevity.

Hope this helps all of those looking for more stopping power.
