I think you were asking about my cayenne. Those come yellow from the factory with ceramic rotors for $8800 option. But money every spent.

Very nice, I did mine in Speed Yellow as well.... Dang aren't we crossing some of the same mods here....
I was going to post some photos but since I'm having my systems all upgraded right now I'll wait for my new system before uploading anymore....
I'll post some photos of mine in about a week. By the way Cayennes, Turbo 997/ GT3/2 RS brakes require larger decals up-front.

I just got my car lowered with eibach springs and it makes a very weird sound. when i go over a bump or driving slow or when i break or make turns it sounds like theres something broken in the springs and its moving around and like hitting something, maybe it needs to be oiled. im not sure how to explain the sound but do u think its normal do i have to wait for the springs to break in or something please let me know thanks .

How is the braking on the ceramics for everyday driving? I hear they don't really work very well until they get up to temperature. Any squealing or excessive dust? Those brakes are definitely awesome. Those rotors are huge and take up every bit of those 22"? wheels. Congrats on your acquisition I am very jealous with my <lowly> 04 CS :-)

These ceramic brakes are the best money ever spent. Not sure what they did but they are much better for ever day then my 599.
The Ferrari is very very grabby. Once you hit them you are stopping.
But the cayenne is not like that. If you slam them it stops on a dime. But if you just touch them they are like reg brakes.
