Newly Restored Brake Calipers From PMB Performance Make A Huge Difference

12/22/201912:55 estFiled to: Porsche Maintenance TipsBy: Bradley Brownell1 Comment

My 1976 Porsche 912E is a few years older than I am, and as such it deserves a little rest and relaxation lately. It's lived a long hard life with a lot of abuse. My goal over the next few posts on the car are to get it back into mechanically tip top condition. The body is perhaps in need of some serious help, but for now that's going to have to …

Making Sense of Porsche Brake Colors

11/21/20188:00 estFiled to: OptionsBy: Chris Cushing1 Comment

Porsche was not the first company to offer disc brakes. That honor goes to Austin Healey all the way back in 1954. Indeed, Porsche began offering disc brakes in 1962, the same year that Studebaker introduced a Bendix system on the Avanti. Despite being a bit late to the game, Porsche has always taken disc brake development very seriously. Beginning …

Why Do Your Porsche’s Brakes Squeal?

1/30/20188:09 estFiled to: Porsche Maintenance TipsBy: Chris CushingComment

There are few sounds in automotivedom less pleasant than brake squeal. While increasing brake temperatures will typically alleviate squeal, keeping your Porsche's brakes at racetrack temperatures around town isn't practical. It's important to consider what is causing your Porsche's brakes to squeal, and determine whether the noise is caused by …

The Evolution of Porsche Disk Brakes

11/11/201610:16 estFiled to: OptionsBy: Pepper GirlComment

There are a number of qualities and features that instantly identify a Porsche to those in the know. That solid thunk you get when you close the driver's side door, the evolutionary yet still iconic design of a 911s rear-end and the ability to reverse the spin of the earth when you step hard enough on the brakes. It's a feeling that never fades …

Meet “The Unicorn” – Hoonigan’s Honda-Powered 911

10/5/20169:05 estFiled to: Tuned PorschesBy: Bradley Brownell1 Comment

The Hoonigan folks are a little on the crazy side with some of their builds. If you've watched any videos they've produced, they have some monster high-horsepower cars with wide bodies and giant wheels. Often, the end result is almost a caricature of the car it is based upon. In this instance, however, the car itself looks rather subdued. Yes, this …

Ever Wonder How Porsche’s Ceramic Composite Brake Discs (PCCB) are Made?

Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes on a 2011 Turbo S

Whenever I walk up to our 993 the first thing my eye is drawn to are those "Big Red" brakes by Brembo. Now, on a lot of newer Porsches you'll see yellow calipers glowing behind the wheels. The yellow color calls out ceramic composite brakes and lets you know that particular Porsche can stop pretty damn quick. If you ever wondered what these …
