Wear limit technical data - 911 GT3

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2005 Porsche 911, 2004 Porsche 911, 2003 Porsche 911, 2002 Porsche 911, and 2001 Porsche 911. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

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).
