It only costs about £1,300.00 + vat to upgrade the brakes on the GT3 Mk1 to GT2/GT3 Mk2/ GT3RS spec, which are 6 pot calipers instead of 4 pot the important thing is pad area its almost double, and with larger discs
it makes a big difference on track. On the road the 4 pots were OK but on track they get found out, the early 996 turbo's have the 4 pots as well plus a lot extra weight I bet they have no brakes left after 3-4 laps at Bedford!

does that include fitting??
Anyone you would recommend to do it ???
cheers

Allan After driving a mark 1 GT3 at Silverstone some years ago in a back to back comparison with my 993rs I would have to disagree. The brakes on the mark 1 are appaling on track. Fade and lack of performance are evident after even a short period on circuit even with limited periods of application. JC
I'll get my coat then shall I ?

LOL
John I've observed you drive and respect your opinion. My comment whilst a little flipant or even "tongue in cheek" was meant to convey that I conceeded that I was in this instance wrong and that in future I should keep my trap shut.
20 years of racing motorcycles does not make me a fast car driver but I think I can hang on the brakes with most and I found the Mk brakes up to what I gave them. However others have found them lacking.
No offence meant

I had my MK1 brakes upgraded at JZ Machtech, its not really a major job & any competent garage can do it. I believe Jasmine motor sport are advertising the 6 pot brake upgrade at the moment. I tried various pads {pagid orange/PFCM} & the cooling kit with the standard brakes but let me assure you that anything you do with the standard brakes will be no where near as good as the 6 pot upgrade. For lap times there is probably not a better upgrade for the Mk1 GT3 for the money.
