ELEPHANT RACING 930-ERX BRAKE CALIPERS FOR 911/912

Any serious driver will tell you that being able to slow your Porsche quickly is just as important as rapid acceleration or high speed. Over the years, Porsche has gradually improved its braking systems to accommodate the ever-greater pace its cars have been able to achieve, with special attention paid to turbocharged 911s. Consequently, 930 brakes have been an awesome upgrade for non-turbo 911s, improving thermal capacity, pedal feel and giving incredible stopping power by way of four-piston calipers and huge 320mm (front) and 280mm (rear) discs. Fitting them, however, has often proved difficult, not least because of wheel clearance issues, limited availability from breakers and the requirement for custom machining as a consequence of differences between 930 and 911 bolt spacing. Elephant Racing’s new 930-ERX calipers eliminate these problems — no machining is required for trailing arm fitment, the bolts have the correct three-inch spacing (and radial position) to mount directly onto all 911 and 912E trailing arms (1969-1989 models only, though a kit is available to ensure fitment to earlier 911s and 912s) and cooling fins are fashioned in a low profile to avoid fouling Fuchs spokes without the need for wheel spacers. Unlike the Porsche originals, Elephant Racing’s calipers feature a modern staggered piston design ensuring even pad wear. Compatible with a standard 930 master cylinder (1977-1989 cars) or Elephant Racing’s own master cylinder kit (pre-1977 911s), this brilliant braking solution is available to order from the company’s online store.
