Brembo 6piston Monoblock 14" front and/optional get the 4piston rears. Fronts only will cost you about $3200 - Read up here

You could also do the Rotora kit. Rotora is a very strong brand in the Japanese side. They are found on alot of BMW and Porsche race cars now too. I did a set for Markski here on the board. 6piston 14inch. Gonna cost you around $2400. Rotora did the kit for us as they only offer it as a 12pot 15inch kit which nobody with track 18's can run.

I have run Stoptech on my old 996C2 with supercharger. That company has fallen off bad. I put a set on my buddies M3 turbo race car, warped the rotors first session. I had a set on our E46 M3, warped rotors. There is a reason you see Brembo on most all professional race cars.

best bang for buck it the GT3 6 piston calipers with the GT3 one piece (cheap) rotor. upgrades to 14 inch 6 piston and you really shouldnt pay more than about $2k US. there are stronger and lighter upgrades but double the price.

other good kit choices are the Vivid stuff Give ViperBob (Vortexmotorsport)
or Dan (Vivid) a call.

We ship all day long there. My brother lives in Wimbledon, sometimes I get there too Just ring me or email me.

Tom's suggestion is good too. However a 2piece rotor saves about 7lbs per corner and rotational weight is a big thing! The cooling on those rotors is better too. If you want that GT3 setup, we supply that.

Yep, I have that kit as well. 6 piston yellows up front and 4 piston yellows in back with 350mm rotors at all 4 corners. Around 4K US but rumor has it a real steep price increase from Porsche is on the way....
