997.1 GT3 RS Front discs

[Steven2mum]

Hi,

Looking to upgrade my steel front discs to either 350mm PF or 362 Alcons, does anyone have any experience of either and any recommendation would be appreciated.

Also, any help with stockists?

Cheers

That would depend on useage, for road use the Brembos would be overkill, for frequent track use, you'll be killing OEM drilled discs with frustrating regularity.

I normally do about 10 track days a year including 2/3 at the Ring and a couple at Spa. Also now looking at upgrading to 380mm with spacers for the calliper. Thoughts? Any more advice would be appreciated

Cheers

My experience with Brembo is with the original toggled hat/disc combo. Maybe the gyro effect is better on the new set up

Hi Steve, have you had issues with the Bembo's then? What is the implications of the "gyro effect"?

What car ? But irrespective of the car, I'd go Alcons with RS29's (though I'm hearing very good things about the PFC 08 and 11 pads) the Alcons will last waaaay longer than the standard items.

Brembo and PFC no doubt do similar 380mm disc pakages, but the Alcons are well proven. For Alcons speak to Matty at Fearnsport /Nick at Uber9's.

Alcon with PFC08 is the best setup.

What size are you using?

Heard of the DS1.11. Where do you buy them in the UK?

Not tried them myself, but seem to be getting a bigger track following atm.

was interested to see why you quoted the best set up that's all ;-)

Endless still seem top dog but double the price of any other pad.

I tend to stick to RS29 after trying a lot of pads, I know where I am with RS29's but am very temped with the DS1.11 as it seems the track pad of choice atm.

I also run a Megane r26.r and use DS1.11 pads and they are really good but have had no feedback re Porsches
