Yeah I dropped to 19s on mine and it's night and day difference for daily driving. Went with 19x8.5 ET45 and 255/50R19 tires - plenty of clearance over the Brembos and the ride is way more civilized. Still looks good too, the 21s were just brutal on city streets

I got the black 4/2 pots on my 2015 WRX. I love them, would do the swap again if I had to.
Im actually in the middle of working on a unique BBK for my E38 and have been looking at rotor/caliper options, I think this may be a decent option for you-958 Cayenne rear brembos.
The answer is always red brembos!
Personally, I love red Brembos. I think it's iconic for the brand and looks great on just about any color car.

Me: why does this mofo have hello kitty Brembos?
Wife: did you just say hello kitty... Brembos? FUCK YES
I’ve been considering new calipers for my Evo 4 (GSR) as well to replace my stock ones since they’re in pretty rough shape, but the only swap I’ve been able to find that is documented at all is the Evo 5-9 Brembos
Just finished porsche junkyard cayeene Brembo 18z from a junk yard. Super cheap score. Fronts came out great but my audi wheels wont fit. The spokes hit the caliper. So i ordered 10mm spacers and longer lugs.
I recently did a brembo 18z caliper install and sadly my Audi s3 wheels do not clear the calipers. Plenty of room around the barrel, but the spokes hit. i will be adding a 10mm spacer to make them fit.
Didn't realize that the brembos won't clear the estorils. Wheel weights will hit the caliper and the spokes will also hit the caliper body. I guess more of any fyi to the group.
