TTSPORT Track-Tests Its Big Brake Kit on a Race-Spec Porsche 718
TTSPORT ran its EMB6/ES4 big brake kit through a full day of on-track testing on a race-spec Porsche 718 — one more entry in the bench-plus-track validation routine the 21-year-old Chinese brake brand runs on every product before it ships.
Bench Data Isn't the Whole Story
Racing comes down to more than just speed and stopping power — it's a full stress test of how a product actually behaves once it's bolted to a real car. TTSPORT already runs every caliper, rotor, and pad compound through LINK bench dynamometer testing to check the raw performance numbers. But numbers on a dyno don't always tell you how a part feels under a driver's foot at 120 mph on a wet straight. That's why track testing has stayed a non-negotiable step in TTSPORT's process for over two decades.
We work directly with race teams both in China and abroad to develop and validate calipers, rotors, and pad formulas together. Every detail gets checked and re-checked so the parts hold up under conditions a spec sheet can't fully capture.
Every test session starts on paper — pad compounds, rotor specs, caliper torque values — before it ever touches the track.
The goal is simple: confirm that what a caliper does on the dyno matches what it does when a driver stands on the brake pedal for real.
The Test Car: A Full Race Porsche 718
TTSPORT's official test vehicle is a fully race-prepped Porsche 718, built by 8090Racing. It ran TTSPORT's one-piece forged EMB6/ES4 kit — six-piston calipers up front, four-piston in the rear — paired with street rotors and TTSPORT's M-05+ racing pads. A professional driver was brought in specifically for the session.
The test ran from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., through blazing heat and a stretch of pouring rain — pretty much every condition a driver could face in one day. TTSPORT put the kit through maximum-effort braking, durability laps, thermal fade cycles, and brake noise checks. The results came in ahead of expectations, and the drivers signed off on all of it.
Repeated hard stops build heat fast — that's when a rigid caliper body and a stable pad compound matter most, because that's exactly when a weaker setup starts to fade.
Then the rain hit. Wet track testing checks something bench dynos can't: how consistent the pedal feel stays when grip and heat management both shift under the driver.
Why Push a Street Kit This Hard
Fade happens when heat builds up faster than the rotor and pad can shed it — friction drops, pedal travel grows, and stopping distance stretches out right when you need it least. Testing a street-oriented kit at race-day extremes is how TTSPORT makes sure that doesn't happen to a customer on track day.
- Confirm the caliper holds up on durability and high-speed emergency braking in both extreme heat and rain, so the bench numbers actually translate to the street and track.
- Give drivers who are still deciding on a kit a real, verifiable reference point for what TTSPORT's braking performance actually delivers.
One Detail Worth Knowing
The EMB6/ES4 kit used for this test differs from the retail version in one spot: the pads. The standard street kit ships with TTSPORT's M-series street pads, tuned for quiet, comfortable daily driving. If you're planning track days or push hard driving regularly, TTSPORT recommends stepping up to the M-05 racing pad for stronger, more consistent braking under load.
Bench Numbers, Track-Proven
Pairing bench dyno data with real track sessions is how TTSPORT builds braking setups that hold up whether you're commuting or chasing lap times. The goal stays the same either way — a pedal you can trust, lap after lap.
