These are the lines I used: 996.355.587.03 and 996.355.588.03. They are a direct bolt on. The superseded 997 part numbers ones you listed are the same lines and obviously will work also but they were about twice as expensive then the 996 parts when I checked. If you can get the 996 part then go with that.

PFC 08 front and rear. Best pads I have ever run. Just drop them in and go, no bedding, relatively low noise (for a race pad anyway), same feel all the way to the backing plate. There is a reason Porsche Motorsport finally switched to these as standard equipment from the crappy Pagids.

The 380/350 997GT3 brakes which I run utilize much larger rear calipers (50% more piston area than the 996 units) in combination with 15% less piston area in the front calipers. As such, the 997GT3 brakes are much more biased towards the rear of the car. The 08/08 combo works perfect. For a normal 996TT/GT3 set up the 08/01 or 06/01 combo is the way to go to try to get a little more bite out of the small rear calipers. You definitely don't want to go 01 front 06 rear. You want 06 or 08 front and 01 rear. The 01 is PFCs most aggressive compound so you want that in the rear. Hope that helps.

Why changing the master brake cylinder? Im am running 380 mm ceramic discs and 6-piston-calipers on the front and 350/4 on the the rear, just like the full big ceramic package of the 997.1 turbo on my 996 turbo.
The 996 master brake cylinder just works fine. Before it had to feed 4 larger pistons and now 6 smaller ones. You won't notice the difference in the pedal.
The difference of that brake on a lighter car you will notice for sure
