brake upgrade question
brake upgrade question
Street car, no sustained hard braking as on track, but will be required for hard street/gradient mountain runs and to fill up 19s for looks. Priority is performance over looks.
p.s. i searched around but inconclusive. thanks!
Front:
Will a brembo monoblock 6pot 15" rotor brake kit from a 997 C4 bolt onto a 996tt? Found this site and the part is listed together for both cars, just want to get confirmation: http://www.automotion.com/product.as...9&dept_id=4209
- If not, is the rotor-hub or the caliper spacer the issue?
- are the brake hoses the same?
Rear:
Given the above set up for front, comments on feasibility of the following:
- stock 996tt rear caliper and a larger 2pc rotor. please comment on rotor size for best match.
- stock 996tt front caliper and larger 2pc rotor. please comment on rotor size for best match.

I'd suggest GT3 6pot + 997 TT rotors for front. I have that setup + pagid yellow pads and it's great for street / track duty.
(there used to be a brake thread around on sticky, dunno where it has gone)

the gt3 and 6pot monoblock is the same caliper is it not?
right, thanks. thing is Im looking at a kit that came off a 997 c4s so another way to ask the question then is whether the 997tt and 997c4s brake parts are interchangeable?
997 turbo rotors and 6 piston calipers should be a bolt-on job. I installed those on my '00 C2 with GT2 wheel carriers, and had to use 1,5mm shims between disc and hub. --> with turbo carriers no problems ( = no shims ).
