Unlike conventional seal kits, the Performance Range incorporates upgraded silicone dust seals and enhanced thermal-resistant piston seals specifically developed to provide superior durability and heat resistance during repeated heavy braking cycles.

Performance Range Key Advantages

High-Temperature Silicone Dust Seals

Performance Range kits utilise premium silicone dust seals instead of traditional OEM-style EPDM rubber dust boots.

Benefits include:

• Exceptional resistance to elevated brake temperatures
• Improved flexibility during repeated thermal cycles
• Increased durability under demanding braking conditions
• Reduced risk of heat-related seal degradation
• Enhanced protection against dirt, moisture and contamination

Enhanced Thermal-Resistant Piston Seals

The piston seals are manufactured using an upgraded EPDM compound developed specifically for high-performance braking applications.

Advantages include:

• Increased resistance to extreme operating temperatures
• Improved sealing performance under heavy braking loads
• Enhanced long-term reliability
• Greater resistance to thermal fatigue
• Consistent caliper operation during demanding use

Why Choose the Performance Range?

The Porsche 992.1 Turbo is capable of generating immense braking forces and temperatures during spirited driving and track use. These conditions place considerable stress on brake caliper seals and internal components.

The upgraded materials used throughout the Performance Range help maintain brake caliper efficiency and sealing integrity when exposed to:

• Repeated heavy braking cycles
• High operating temperatures
• Fast road driving
• Track-day environments
• Motorsport-inspired applications
• High-performance driving conditions

This makes the kit an ideal preventative maintenance upgrade for Porsche owners seeking enhanced brake system durability, reliability and performance.

Ideal Applications

Perfect for:

• Porsche 992.1 turbo
• Fast road driving
• Track-day use
• Motorsport-inspired builds
• High-performance brake system maintenance
• Brake caliper refurbishment projects
• Vehicles subjected to repeated heavy braking cycles

Don't compromise on safety or performance – choose our titanium pucks for enhanced braking reliability and a smoother, more responsive driving experience on and off the track. Our pucks will ensure that your braking system can handle even the most demanding race conditions, giving you the confidence to push your Porsche to the limit.

The Problem
Many owners, drivers and enthusiasts of the Porsche GT3 RS, who visit race tracks with this model in 80% of cases, are facing issues with the braking system. Whether the brakes are equipped with factory steel or PCCB calipers, ceramic pucks are mounted on the pistons as a thermal barrier, preventing excessive heat transfer from the pads to the pistons and fluid. These pucks help reduce heat buildup, but due to the extreme temperatures and repeated heat cycles from aggressive or prolonged braking on the track, the ceramic pucks can become brittle and break down. Initial signs of this failure include cracking or chipping. Missing or damaged ceramic pucks can lead to diminished braking performance and increased heat transfer to the fluid. If a significant number of pucks fail, it could result in serious and dangerous braking issues. This issue is frequently overlooked during brake pad replacements, as technicians are typically unaware of it and fail to inspect for it.

The Solution 
Gold Leaf pucks are made of annealed aerospace titanium Ti-6Al-4V (Grade 5). They offer similar thermal properties to ceramic pucks but are much more durable under repeated heat cycles. While they are costly, they effectively maintain a thermal barrier, unlike stainless steel, which allows heat to transfer to the fluid.

Key Benefits
Lower weight: Titanium is lighter than ceramic, which can reduce the overall weight of the braking system. This results in quicker response times for acceleration, braking, and direction changes, especially noticeable on the track.
Higher strength: Titanium is stronger and more wear-resistant, meaning it can withstand higher temperatures and greater forces without deforming. This is particularly beneficial on the track, where braking temperatures can reach extreme levels.

Installation
Installing of the Gold Leaf Piston Pucks: 1. Remove the wheels. 2. Unplug the brake lines and remove the calipers. 3. Remove brake pistons from the calipers. 4. Unscrew the original ceramic pucks and screw in the new titanium pucks. Be careful regarding the piston surface. We recommend using Loctite on the screw threads. 5. Insert brake pistons back in their caliper sleeves. 6. Install the calipers and brake lines, bleed the calipers with new braking fluid and install the wheels.
