Brake caliper Brembo or OEM Porsche

I have a set installed on my B6, powder coated Meteor Silver:

The Boss 302 is unapologetically brash, loud, in your face, and a prime example of what an American car should be. The Recaro seats are absolutely awesome, as is the cueball shifter, and the Alcantara covered steering wheel. The weakest point of this package is the braking. With 4-piston Brembo calipers up front and 1 piston floaters in the back, the brakes are decent and will stop the car in a hurry but honestly I wish they had way more bite.

I've been through many front brake setups on my car and personally think my current setup is the best balanced. I'm running R32 rotors with 996 turbo calipers up front with phaeton 310mm rotors in the rear. The rear made a nice difference in how the car feels when you are hard on the brakes.

i did audi ttrs brakes up front. 370mm rotors with brembo 4 piston calipers. about $1100 all in if I remember correctly. that includes ss lines and pads

Porsche Boxter calipers (non S). You retain OEM rotors you just need to source carriers (I know someone makes them just can't remember) and lines. Hands down best bang for buck and awesome performance. You save a bunch of weight and move to a fixed 4 piston caliper on each side.

Mounted the 996tt calipers this past weekend. I can say they offer more clearance than the 17z's. Fat fives can be used with no spacer. It's a tight fit but it works. Brake pedal is nice a firm. Much firmer than the 17z calipers.

The brackets I ordered from usrt bolt up to the boxster red rears.... As to whether rear boxster calipers work or not I've done and uses the calculator several times and it is a 15% increase in brake power..

Stock brakes are most excellent for doing a single, high speed, emergency stop. They are designed around that. If you plan on driving the car quite aggressively, or tracking it, you'll need to improve upon the stock setup. Good pads, a flush with good fluid, and stainless lines will do wonder for both fade resistance and pedal feel. You don't need big Brembos or an aftermarket caliper to track a car, and you can even aggressively track a car with improved stock brakes; you just need to adjust your driving style. In general, aftermarket calipers are largely for show, but hey...if you're going to splurge on something that isn't \"necessary\", it might as well be your brakes versus something else!

The callipers flex and the point which hits is not where you grind...but further outward...it'll be obvious how they flex when you look. I use my brakes VERY hard with some pretty trick pads...so you may not have the same problem...but mine have grooved the inside of two sets of front wheels.

First day with my 951 on the road, just got it registered and my front drivers caliper locks up and boiled my fluid before I could get home.
