<\/p>\nOn a car, there is a few items which are \u201cwearable\u201d these may be tires or wiper blades, Along with brakes. The modern brake disk, as we know today, did not hit road cars till the late 1950s. But early development of the disc started in England during the 1890s, and since then the capability of these discs has evolved massively. With different materials and ventilation, every performance car has a difference.<\/p>\n
Some of the most notable developments are materials. In recent years, most performance cars are being offered with Carbon ceramic brakes. A disc that takes a while to make and is put through extreme conditions during manufacturing. These brakes offer several benefits such as better stopping performance and heat resistance. But they can be costly to replace, with some systems costing up to \u00a325,000 for just 2 discs.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
One of the biggest names in the space is Brembo, a manufacturer that provides braking systems to many OEM brands, such as Porsche and Ferrari. They are the most known for their ventilated systems, 2 of the main types of these discs are the Vane ventilation and pillar ventilation. When going around a track, brakes generate a lot of heat and therefore it is key for them to have proper cooling. Brembo\u2019s PVT (Pillar Venting Technology) creates excellent ventilation inside the disc, which allows for greater heat removal. Since the 90s this brake technology has evolved. The brake type can now be applied to trucks and the words top performance cars, including Porsche GT models, whether they have the standard steel rotors or the expensive PCCB carbon brakes. Thanks to PVTs advanced cooling system they are less susceptible to thermal cracks, because of this the discs can reduce pad wear by 40%. One of the main highlights of the brakes is the special cross shape ventilation pillars. Their layout provides 30% more resistance to cracking while offering weight reduction of this disc by 10%.<\/p>\n
When it comes to older 911 models, the brakes may not be up-to the levels of modern 911s, onto the cars. That is why here at Design911, we offer a range of new- PVT braking systems to make sure your classic air-cooled car can stop like the latest greatest 911s. We also offer other braking products such as Callipers, and brake lines, to help your brake as good as it possible can.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
