PORSCHE 911 TURBO S 992 CERAMIC BRAKE SYSTEM calipers BLACK

Why the 1LX “Black” Option is Valuable
1. The 10-Piston Factor
The 992 Turbo S is the first 911 to use the massive 10-piston Akebono front caliper. This is the same high-performance architecture found in the Audi RS6 (C8) and Lamborghini Urus. The black finish hides brake dust even better than the yellow, making it the preferred choice for owners who drive their cars daily.
2. Market Demand for Retrofits
Many owners of the standard 992 Carrera or Carrera S look to upgrade to the Turbo S braking system.
-
Fitment Note: To fit these $420\text{mm}$ rotors and 10-piston calipers, a minimum of 20-inch wheels is required.
-
Visual Appeal: For customers with “Paint to Sample” (PTS) colors or darker exterior themes, the yellow calipers can sometimes clash. The factory high-gloss black calipers are the #1 requested alternative.
3. Weight & Performance
Even in black, these are full PCCB components. They provide a 50% weight reduction over iron rotors (saving approx. 18kg/40lbs of unsprung mass), which significantly sharpens the steering response and improves the ride quality of the 992 chassis.
Commercial Strategy for Buy Mustang parts Ltd
If you are listing a “New Take-off” set in Black:
-
Highlight the Rarity: While yellow is the “classic” PCCB color, the High-Gloss Black is a paid upgrade and is rarer in the secondary market.
-
Verify Hardware: Ensure the listing includes the specific caliper bolts and wear sensors, as these 10-piston units use unique mounting hardware compared to the 6-piston Carrera brakes.
-
Cross-Compatibility: Mention that these are a direct “Big Brake Kit” upgrade for the 992 Carrera / S / GTS models (though a master cylinder check is recommended for those models).
