Please note that circuit racing, trackday
use and other forms of performance

driving can significantly reduce the
service life of even the most durable
pads and discs. As with conventional
high-performance braking systems,
represents a major reduction in unsprung and rotating masses. The consequence of
this is bet ter road holding and increased
comfort, particularly on uneven roads,
as
well as greater agilit y and improved
handling.
Another key advantage of PCCB is the
extremely low weight of the ceramic
brake discs, which are approximately
50
% lighter than standard discs of similar
design and size. As well as enhancing

to calculate the actual direction of travel

to oversteer or understeer, PSM applies
selective braking on individual wheels in

When the car is driven assertively into

a corner, moderate brake pressure is
applied to the inside rear wheel. Conse -

is distributed to the outside rear wheel,
