996tt red brakes to a 2000 c4

I know there was a thread here regarding 996tt brakes to a c4. Sorry, if this is a repost, I just couldn't find it.

Anyway I found a set of red 996tt brakes with low miles. It has the calipers, rotors, uprights and all the shielding etc, this is on all four corners... Will this mount ok with my 2000 c4. Is this a worth while mode to do? Any comments or feedbacks are appreciated.

No it wont mount, you need about another 3k in parts, not including rotors and calipers, thinks like hubs, carriers etc to mount C4S/TT/GT3/GT2 brakes to a C2/C4. A Stoptech or Brembo big brake kit may be a better alternative as these are direct bolt ons. Is it worth it? In my opinion, NO...but its not my car, its yours....do you feel you need to stop any faster? It wont be a huge difference, the difference in the larger brakes is heat dissipation, so you wont experience as much brake fade as you would with the stock brakes....but I have never experienced brake fade in my driving, and that includes very spitited canyon drives. But if you track your car alot, you may notice the difference. I could find better ways to spend 5k.

From this picture, I believe the hubs are included... This is his description.

The Rotors Are 330mm Front And Rear. They Are Four Piston Calipers Front And Rear. The Mounting Bolts For The Uprights Are The Same Ones That Will Be Removed For Installation Along With Swapping Over The Stub Axels. The Wheel Bearings Are In Perfect Condition And The Calipers Come With The Mounting Bolts. All Brake Pads Have Over 90% Life Left And Any Other Necessary Hardware Is Either Included Or Will Just Transfer Over From The Lucky Recipient. He's lookin at $2500... I think.


Or Maybe the brembo bolt on is the better option, as you suggested. What do you think this will cost?

Don't forget you rims too. You may need spacers in order for the right clearance between the rims and calipers.
