Wear limit technical data - 911 GT3

Depending on the wear of cast iron brake discs, two condition criteria can make replacement necessary:

  1. Cracking in the holed (perforated) brake disc friction plates is in an advanced state.
  2. Brake disc minimum thickness is not attained due to wear (material erosion due to friction).
