TT brakes on C2

Anyone put Turbo brakes on there C2. Understand some tuners have been using an adapter of some sort. Is the install smooth and do you notice any differences in stopping power?
Thanks

Ben had them on his cab. You have to use c4/gt3/turbo wheel carriers so they fit. The stopping power was better but he said that the unsprung weight basically made it a wash.

Why go with turbo brakes. Stoptechs, or Brembo are bigger 14", MUCH lighter than even the stock c2 brakes, and turbo brakes I swear are made of lead. Further you're only going up .5" I think turbos are 13" right? They are both floating rotors, but the stoptechs are a better caliper and they're stiffer.

I am biased as I have them on my front and I know the owner. Long story short with the 14" kit pagid oranges, stainless lines, gt3 cup ducts front, and srt fluid. I let Ben drive the car and he said the brakes were identical to the CGT's. , and he never missed an opportunity to tease me so I think that can be taken at face value. The car stops rediculously hard and scrubs massss spead at higher speeds. The more you make the brakes work the more they like it.
