New Product from Brembo Coming Soon...
Fresh from Popular Mechanics:
Cast iron brake rotors could become outdated as carburetors and biasplytires. Italian brake manufacture Brembo will soon begin producing carbon composite (CC) brake discs for automobiles. Developed for the aerospace industry, the brakes are currenty found on Forumla One cars. CC discs are up to 70% lighter and last longer than conventional cas iron discs. They also remain stabily and highly efficent at extreme termperatures, virtually eliminating brake fade. A new plant in Ottobrunn, Germany is ramping up to produce CC brake components. The caption on the picture also says "Brembo says this design eliminates the vibration and brake shudder that occurs in conventional discs"

5k isn't all that much money...
the Porsche GT3 brake upgrade for the 996 series costs over $21,000US!
mind you, they are 15" rotors...

Ahhhh, one truly hasn't felt how powerfull brakes can be until one get's to experience a 911 under braking!!! It'll throw a enexpecting/unbelted passenger through the windshield! There is no substitute.
P.S. Don't the GT2's come with these exotic ceramic/carbon fiber brakes?

The problem with ceramic brakes is that they are somewhat noisy as 911 drivers who opted for them will unwillingly attest. The problem with carbon brakes is that they don't work well until they are very hot. The carbon-composite will probably take care of this, though.
