Really the only parts of the front brake kit you will be able to use are the rotors. In our GT3 upgrade we use the 997T rotors, but the GT3 calipers/pads etc. A straight turbo swap will not work on your car. The upgrade fits under stock Turbo 18's just fine. Anything smaller will need a wheel upgrade.

Now as far as rear brakes go.....we have just finished test fitting of a matching rear brake upgrade using all OEM Porsche parts, so keep your eyes open for a new kit announcement!

I have a 2006 C2S with the full Turbo brakes. Brumos porsche installed them.
The said, in writing, that I have the 13.78 in rotors and 6 piston calipers, and the ONLY way I could get any brake improvement is to pay a fortune for PCCB's.

Mr. B,

You know, looking again, I do see that the 997T caliper is the exact same as the one we have in our GT3 kit, so I stand completely corrected! This could actually provide an extra option for our customers, as they could possibly get the kit with the 997T pads or the GT3 pads (more aggressive Pagid compound pad). It could also open up the possibility that the GT2/3 pads could be a direct swap out for 997T owners.

Time to do some more test fitting!

I've had my car to the track several times.
I'm an SCCA National racer and a PCA Instructor so I can drive at 10/10ths.
I have to say that the Turbo brakes with Porsche pads do the job.

BTW, glad I could clarify things for you.
