Change the brake Calipers though mate!!! They are a CRIME against all things Porsche
The discs are sweet though!
Great choice fella. Enjoy!
As a said to you before they are just incredible bargains now!
Am I missing something with the calipers? Look okay to me
GT2 bumper and spoiler look superb, don't they Lee

What's wrong with 380mm 8 and 6 pot brakes?
They look like they should stop the car well enough

Never been too keen on the 996 because of the similarity to a boxter from the front but really like it, wheels are superb and i love the colour

There is nothing wrong with the brakes, in fact the latest Oakly Design 997 GT2 uses these, the just have Oakly Design on them instead
