Peopleandcars Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Hi Looking at getting better brakes life for track use After some research I understand steel brake lines + gt3 ducts + front FERODO DS2500 are a good choice I am also thinking GT3 Master Cylinder, what is the part number and cost? Woudl that be worth doing on a 2.9? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcm987 Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 I have the Gt3 master cylinder installed, part number is 99735591030. You can get it from Design 911 for around £400. I believe TRW is the OEM and can be ordered form the US for a bit cheaper, but might take a while. I have the Gt3 ducts, cost around £3 each, so no brainer really.

Thanks, I just ordered the ducts I am looking at Front discs too (Kinetix) For the Master Cylinder, would one from AP racing work? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/222269816754 This is the TRW part? https://www.buycarparts.co.uk/trw/2209927 Edited July 22, 2018 by Peopleandcars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcm987 Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 I don't know about the AP racing one, I haven't seen/heard anyone do that before. I went with the GT3 cylinder because everyone recommended it and it goes with all the other GT3 parts that fit the cayman. Brake discs I just went with Brembo again, they work well enough and are cheap to replace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero issues with them... They look cool & are cheap to boot... Paired with my Ferodo DS2500 compound pads (on both cars) & using DOT 5.1 fluid I get zero fade... Performed faultlessly at Brands a couple months back... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mavrik Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 @Peopleandcars The DOT 5.1 is race spec high temp fluid (iirc it was ATE that did the blue fluid which I used in my track bike - not available now though!)... DOT 5.1 has better resistance to fade than the DOT 4... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want TRW part number PMN166. Should be able to get it for a lot less than £280. I paid about £160. It's also not really a 'GT3' MC. It was fitted to various 997 models, including C4S, Turbo and the GT3. This! I got mine on Amazon for £160 last year. The only difference between the TRW part and the one you'll get from Porsche is the box it'll come in. Very easy to fit and, whilst not actually doing anything for braking performance, it makes the drive much better. 7 hours ago, Mavrik said: @Peopleandcars The DOT 5.1 is race spec high temp fluid (iirc it was ATE that did the blue fluid which I used in my track bike - not available now though!)...

Mavrik Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Did a track day at Brands last week & my rears are shot & down to the pad limit... Just bought the rear DS2500 Ferodo's from https://www.jjcraceandrally.com/ & managed to get some original Brembo cross drilled rear discs for under a ton from ECP !!!
