380mm Brake Upgrade
Is there a way to run 380mm rotors on a 997 turbo? My car has the 350 rotors currently.

PCCB Rotor Size
Not sure about 380 mm at the back but my 997.2TT PCCBs are 380 mm front so there should be room there for a larger rotor. The back PCCBs are 350 mm I believe.

Yes there is. You need longer calipers bolts and spacers to fit the rotor, can use the same calipers. Recommend going to a stud kit instead of bolts so you don't run the risk of stripping the uprights.

are you sure? I am under the assumption that the 350mm turbo calipers are offset differently than the 380mm calipers or the pccbs

No affiliation or experience but these look like what you’re after https://rennlist.com/forums/997-foru...80-rotors.html

The other option is a big brake kit from Brembo or Stoptech.

That kit looks good, will it work on the 997.2 Turbo though?

Given the calipers are the same, I'd expect it feels identical.
