Brembo do a kit but but it is expensive

Tarox do a 6 piston upgrade for the 3200 which is reasonably priced however the disc does not fit the 4200/GS hub without modification (cutting bits off so it will fit)

We are waiting for demand based on the GTS big brake kits. We have a hub and wheel bearing that has been measured for disc dimensions and caliper mounts but there has been no interest so far.

What the car really needs is a 6 pot caliper for the front, which bumps up the cost.

Out of interest, how much better are the carbon ceramics on the Strad over the 'standard' GTS?

Night & day - they take a bit of getting used to as the ceramics have a bit of a wooden feel, especially when cold, but for me they are the biggest improvement that the Stradale makes over the GTS and that includes the exhaust note

Sorry don't understand your post.
You are looking at a big brake kit for the 42/GS based on the GT GTS brake kit?

Anyone seen the newish system from Porsche. PSCB Porsche Surface Coated Brakes.

The discs are coated with tungsten carbide so they retain a mirror like finish.

Could be interesting for the future if the cost comes down.

They look interesting and with Porsche's mass production, maybe there will be a bigger uptake with these? The carbon ceramics are so expensive as so few cars use them - even my Trofeo car uses steel discs as the CC were too expensive for the Maserati race team to use as they would get through so many!
