Brake Question

I was offered a brand new set (in the box) GT2 ceramic brakes. Really Cheap.

Is it better to go with the GT2 brakes or get a set of Brembo Big Reds?

suggestions, opinions would be appreciated.

GT2 brakes will not fit a turbo unless you change out the carriers and calipers.

well put sharkster

Wazzup Sharky? Well put, the GTR set up is awesome, I have adapted it to 997's also.
The effectiveness of this kit is really dependent on pad selection, we made a bad call on pad selection in Vegas and it showed.
Peace, and see ya in Vegas bro.

Waaazzzup. Oh man those brakes are killer. Same thing happened to me back in 03. We had one of the first two GTR kits on my TT (alex had the other) and it came with the wrong pads and we suffered. Put the _right_ pad in and holy moly...
