We recently visited the US test facility responsible for batch testing of our exclusive Zuffenhaus 911 RSR brake calipers.

First impressions of the operation were excellent. This is a first class facility with state of the art testing capability.  It was interesting to note that, not only do most of the 200+ mph NASCAR teams make use of this capability, some of the leading brake system manufacturers test here too.

For example, every road and race pad compound from one highly respected brake manufacturer is tested there before they are released for production (not sure how sensitive this information is so no names, no pack drill). The type of data captured in testing includes torque, clamping force, temperature recovery time, master cylinder piston travel and hydraulic pressure.  This data is then graphically represented and the charts compared during multiple test cycles.

The confidence and security being accumulated in this test period by TwinSpark Racing cannot be understated. There can’t be too many other aftermarket parts manufacturers who have put their products through such stringent test programmes. Do you know of any? We believe it is essential for all of our peace of mind that this stage of the process is properly managed – not rushed.
