Advertisement of our Zuffenhaus RSR Brakes

We have some great news for owners of earlier 911s through the Carrera 3.2: We now have the Zuffenhaus RSR brakes in stock to bolt onto your original chassis! It allows you to take advantage of the supreme stopping power of these race proven brakes.

The original brakes on all these types of cars were single piston equipped. The real heavy duty, race oriented brakes were reserved for the Turbo 3.3, which came with larger, wider, cross drilled ventilated disks and for piston brakes in the configuration of the 917 and 911 RSR race cars. Contrary to popular belief 917 brakes look nothing like RSR brakes, as they were not equipped with cooling fins. Those were only added for the 2.8 RSR. The internals however were the same.

Porsche 917s ran 5 spoke center lock wheels and 4 piston calipers, which were some of the biggest in the business at the time. As you can see, there were no cooling fins on these items, like on the RSR brakes.

The reason you should get our RSR brakes is that it is the only big-brake bolt-on solution which fits both front and rear bolt spacing and offset on a non-Turbo suspension, allows you to run 15 inch Fuchs wheels and looks absolutely spot on for a sports purpose earlier 911 or a replica thereof. They are particularly suitable for those of you who have built a nice back-date car, but haven’t changed or won’t change the entire suspension to fit Turbo brakes.

Woodstock is running the RSR brakes for the second season now and will be driving in the upcoming R Gruppe BergMeister Tour, organized by TwinSpark Racing

For those of you taking their early cars to the track now and then: you will shave meters off your braking points compared to the standard Porsche brakes through the 3.2. Not on the first three laps, but soon after you will start to notice your friends struggling with their brake timing, whilst you can press on lap after lap. The Zuffenhaus RSR brakes are being used by our historic racing team and the cooling properties are such that brake pads look new at the end of the season…

We have the fitment information for the disks and brakes listed in our webshop.
