best after market suspension and brakes

Hi
What does all feel about after market suspension. Going to go with the vf supercharger kit and now am thinking brakes and coilovers. KW vs bilstein? and any experience with bigger better brakes?

For the money KW makes a great alternative. Motons are top of the line but they are also not for the budget conscious consumer. Moton makes three different set ups and they usually range between $6,000 and $14,000. KW's usually range between <$2,000 and upward of $3,500. You cannot really go wrong with any of your choices. Let me know if I can help you out with quotes on any of the parts that you are looking for.

I have the Bilstein's and have had a lot of fun with them, I find my car is a great mix of street and track capabilities, and is very livable in both environments. I have heard the Motons are a little to strong for the street, but are great on the track.

Brembo makes two different kits a 350mm and 380mm kit, but braking is relevant to grip, you need really good gripping tires combined with great brakes. You could also save some money and buy a set of 6 piston brakes from Suncoast Porsche, they are a mix of factory parts that work on the Carrera's.

Motons and Brembos here too. The best. Had Bilstiens. Motons are WAAAY better for hard driving.
