The GT Perfected: A Porsche 911 Targa 4 (992) Carbon-Ceramic Upgrade
The Porsche 911 Targa 4 is the ultimate expression of the open-top grand touring sports car, blending iconic style with all-weather performance. To perfect this experience, this owner chose a complete **STOPFLEX Carbon-Ceramic Rotor System**—an upgrade that enhances both the serene comfort of long-distance cruising and the sharp dynamics of spirited driving.
The Complete Rotor & Pad System
This comprehensive front-and-rear system is a direct-fit upgrade, engineered to work in perfect harmony with the 992 Targa's powerful factory multi-piston calipers.
- Vehicle: Porsche 911 Targa 4 (992)
- Front Rotors: STOPFLEX 410mm Carbon-Ceramic Discs with custom-fit billet aluminum hats
- Rear Rotors: STOPFLEX 390mm Carbon-Ceramic Discs with custom-fit billet aluminum hats
- Brake Pads: STOPFLEX Performance Pads formulated for Carbon-Ceramic
- Brake Lines: STOPFLEX Stainless Steel Braided Lines
Fitment Requirements for STOPFLEX Rotors
This direct-fit upgrade is possible because the 911 Targa 4 is equipped from the factory with elite hardware that meets our two critical conditions:
- Caliper Type: The factory front and rear calipers are the required opposed multi-piston (fixed) design.
- Minimum Size: The large factory brakes are well above our 355mm minimum size requirement.
Key Advantages for the Ultimate Grand Tourer
This system is engineered to elevate the Targa's dual character, adding both performance and refinement.
- Enhanced Ride Comfort & Agility: Our carbon-ceramic discs are **up to 50% lighter than factory iron rotors**. This substantial reduction in unsprung mass makes the Targa's ride noticeably smoother and more composed on long journeys. At the same time, it sharpens steering response, making the car feel lighter and more agile on winding mountain roads.
- Fade-Proof Performance for Alpine Roads: Engineered to run hundreds of degrees cooler than iron, our carbon-ceramic system provides consistent, fade-free braking on the long, demanding descents typical of a grand tour. This ensures absolute confidence and safety when exploring scenic routes in Taiwan or beyond.
- The Luxury of Flawless Aesthetics: The Targa is a style icon. Our system virtually eliminates corrosive brake dust, ensuring the beautiful 20/21-inch staggered wheels remain showroom-fresh and preserving the car's impeccable presentation with minimal effort.
- Refined Daily Operation: The 100% corrosion-proof nature of our rotors means an end to the surface rust and associated noise that can appear on iron discs after a wash or in humid weather. This contributes to a consistently silent and premium daily driving experience.

Frequently Asked Questions for Targa Owners
Q: My Targa is more of a grand tourer than a track car. Is this upgrade for me?
A: Absolutely. While this system offers incredible performance, two of its biggest benefits are for touring: a **noticeably smoother ride** due to the reduction in unsprung weight, and the **elimination of brake dust**, which keeps your car looking pristine on long trips. It enhances the luxury and comfort aspects of the Targa just as much as the performance.
Q: Does this kit work with the factory Porsche calipers?
A: Yes. It is engineered as a direct-fit, bolt-on replacement for the factory iron rotors and is fully compatible with the powerful multi-piston calipers that come standard on the 911 Targa 4. No modifications are needed.
Q: How does this system compare to the factory Porsche Carbon Ceramic Brakes (PCCB)?
A: Our system is designed to deliver the same elite-level benefits as the factory PCCB option—massive thermal capacity, significant weight savings, and dust-free operation. It's the premier choice for owners who want to add this technology to their Targa or are looking for a high-value alternative to replacing worn factory rotors.
