9m Carbon Ceramic Big Brake Kit – 350mm Front & Rear
Upgrade the braking performance of your Porsche 964 with the 9m Carbon Ceramic Big Brake Kit, designed to replace the original steel brake discs with advanced carbon ceramic technology.
This comprehensive upgrade features 350mm two-piece floating carbon ceramic discs front and rear, combined with uprated 9m/Brembo 6-piston front calipers and 4-piston rear calipers.
Engineered to deliver exceptional braking consistency, reduced weight and improved resistance to brake fade, the kit offers a substantial performance improvement over conventional cast iron braking systems.
The carbon ceramic discs are manufactured using long-strand carbon fibre reinforcement combined with silicon carbide, providing excellent strength, durability and thermal stability.
Each floating disc features a CNC-machined 6061-T6 billet aluminium centre bell, hard anodised for strength, rigidity and corrosion resistance.
The kit is supplied with adaptor brackets, braided brake lines and the required installation hardware.
What Does the 9m Carbon Ceramic Brake Kit Do?
The 9m braking system replaces the original Porsche 964 steel brake discs and calipers with a lightweight, high-performance carbon ceramic arrangement.
The larger 350mm discs and uprated multi-piston calipers provide increased braking capability, while the carbon ceramic construction offers excellent resistance to heat and brake fade.
Reducing brake disc weight also lowers unsprung and rotational mass, helping improve suspension response, handling and steering feel.
Why Upgrade to Carbon Ceramic Brakes?
Compared with conventional cast iron brake discs, carbon
ceramic technology offers several performance advantages:
- Weight reduction of approximately 16kg compared with the conventional cast iron disc arrangement
- Reduced unsprung mass for improved suspension response
- Excellent resistance to brake fade under demanding conditions
- Consistent braking performance at high operating temperatures
- Superior thermal stability during repeated heavy braking
- Significantly reduced brake dust with compatible brake pads
- Improved resistance to corrosion
- Exceptional durability and long potential service life
Under suitable operating conditions, carbon ceramic discs can achieve very high mileages, although actual service life depends on driving conditions, maintenance and usage.
Two-Piece Floating Carbon Ceramic Discs
The 9m kit uses 350mm floating carbon ceramic discs on both axles.
The friction rings are constructed from long-strand carbon fibre reinforced with silicon carbide, providing a lightweight structure capable of withstanding extreme braking temperatures.
The floating design allows controlled thermal expansion, helping reduce stress during repeated heating and cooling cycles.
Each disc features a precision CNC-machined 6061-T6 billet aluminium centre bell with a hard-anodised finish.
Uprated 9m/Brembo Brake Calipers
The kit includes uprated multi-piston calipers designed to
work with the larger carbon ceramic discs.
- Front: 6-piston calipers
- Rear: 4- calipers
