Here are some pics from one of our customers of his 996TT. He equipped it with JIC Coilovers, H&R Rear Sway Bar, Agency Power Control Arms, and more. He is also running a GIAC flash with Forge Diverter Valves, and a GHL Exhaust and Headers. Hey Chris, post a sound clip of that exhaust!

Customer will be doing a couple more mods to make his road racing machine that much more fun. Stay tuned for more pics View his complete gallery here -

nice set up Dan now sell him a front brake upgrade and get some driving lessons and point him to the nearest track!!

 

Ok Tom, what's the front brake upgrade of choice for road couse racing and street driving combined? I'd prefer not to change pads every 3rd weekend all summer.

 

This would be the front brake upgrade choice -

these are crazy brakes! i love mine!

 

Nice pic. Have you tracked it? The reason I ask is that I have tracked mine and I thought the stock brakes worked fine. They did got a bit hot but that can be taken care of with better brake ducting. BTW I had new front OEM rotors and pads before the events (Summit Point, main).

 

Drive harder. The Brembo work 10times better! The difference in how you can dive into a turn is night and day. The stock 4piston brakes, 1 piece heavy rotors, and rubber brakelines just dont do the job when you start giving your car alot more push.

 

Not to say one shouldnt buy the bigger brakes because being able to brake later is a wonderful thing...but the major hardware that comes on the 996tt is acutally pretty amazing if you upgrade to SS lines, dot4 fluid, and race pads like pagid orange or hawk ht14s. In my experience, I have been able to outbrake a suprising amount of very set up machinery with just my brakes and those small mods. I would STRONGLY suggest you work on the driver first, then upgrade the brakes...falling on better equipment to get better alone is generally not the best to truely become a better driver.




BTW...I have gone on around 20 or so track days (very hard and highspeed) on my 2 yr old rotors(car new to me this year but its an 01 with replaced rotors 2 yrs ago) and havent needed new rotors yet...so the pads arent very detrimental on the rotors life...also, you will find the better you get, the less brake pad you acutally use up in a track day.

 

Be forewarned these brakes will only fit a racing design 18 an above!
