When you are regularly tracking a car, brakes are one of the best upgrades to increase the performance of your car and the confidence of your driving. A few items come to mind right away when you consider what to upgrade – track pads, performance brake fluid, drilled or slotted rotors. Those are undoubtedly great upgrades but today we are going to focus on something less obvious yet equally important.
Porsche 991/992 GT3, Turbo, and 981 GT4 models come from the factory with ceramic pucks screwed into the piston. These pucks serve as a thermal barrier between the brake pads and the pistons/fluid. While ceramic is an effective insulator, the repeated intense heat cycles from track driving can cause the pucks to chip and crack. Broken pucks can lead to increased heat transfer and eventually brake failure. Porsche only offers replacement calipers, leaving you with a high price tag if your pucks become damaged.
Now that your familiar with the problem, here is our solution. Demon Speed Caliper Piston Pucks – crafted using the same material as our popular 996/997 GT3 Cup caliper piston pucks, these provide similar thermal insulation to the OEM ceramics without the fragility. With tested track performance on GT3 Cup cars, our pucks keep heat away from your brake fluid to help prevent brake fade and are stronger and than OEM pucks to withstand countless heat cycles.
Always inspect your caliper piston pucks for damage when replacing brake pads on your car. Noticing wear or damage early can prevent big problems in the future. Even if your pucks are not damaged yet, replacing them with Demon Speed pucks is great preventative maintenance that insures high performing brakes – without breaking the bank.
