Carbon Brake Disc replacement

[Trev450]

Lovely car and one in which you are clearly torn over selling. Have you considered replacing the discs with steel ones and keeping the carbon ceramics to refit prior to eventually selling. This is a practice quite common among GT3 owners who track their cars.

Surface transform gets pretty good reviews, JZM (Porsche specialist) has a lot of experience with them and also heard of a chap who fitted them to his Carrera GT... so can't be that bad of an option if you would trust them with one of the best Porsche hyper cars ever made..

You can have the 599's CCM brake discs refurbished to better than new by using Sicom in Germany..They do both the Brembos and Porsches PCCBs IIRC..
Now called ReBrake.

£6,500 sounds expensive but when you think that gorgeous car has done over 40k miles, that's really good value.

Thanks Taffy .. that looks like a really good option and for what seems like £6500 seems good.

I used Sicom for my 599, definitely better than original in terms of performance, they were just a nightmare to deal with. Getting the old discs off the hubs, or more to the point the bolts out was a nightmare for Autoficinna and one broke meaning it could not be returned to get the 'deposit' back, apparently you need a 650 degree oven to get them apart. I see they now include new bolts as well as the originals corrode badly

I know it means the car being off the road but consider having them remove the old and refit to your hubs to avoid any issues

You have to weigh up what a set of new / refurbed discs vs the cost of a replacement car will be. With worn discs, that'l factor in to the sale price of the car anyway.

personally, I'm a big fan of keeping what you have, but on the flip side, I've used worn items as an excuse to buy somehting else.

Price to replace the discs?
Price to replace the car?

Pick the cheaper option (and keep your fingers crossed that the cheaper option means keeping the Fezzer!)
