For brakes, you're limited to whatever you can fit with your wheels.. I doubt you'd fit Brembo's with them, so you may be limited to 4pot/2pot or just rebuilding your current calipers with good street pads and rotors.
On my WRX, I use Dixcel ES pads front and rear
Upgraded rotors (paragon 2 piece) and dixcel type z pads.
I own a 1999 996 C2. I have had the car for over 10 years. I bought it with 70k miles, and it now has 169,000 miles.
It is in the garage now waiting for front brakes. Have the parts, just got busy.
I'm not sure if it counts, but I put porsche brakes on the front and TTRS brakes on the rear.
I also supplied new rotors, pads, and all fluids and pads. My bill was $650 at a Porsche specific independent shop.
This is how a \u00a33.5k bill for Porsche brake pads and discs turned into a \u00a31.8k bill for me. Using the same OEM parts, but at a Porsche specialist not main dealer.
Dixcel m pads good stopping and ultra low dust.
brakes on a cayman are pretty straight forward. DO NOT reuse the caliper mounting bolts they are one time use bolts. Also do yourself a favor and spend the money on factory brake pads and rotors.
It's not hard at all. One thing you want to watch out for is that Porsche is adamant about not reusing the bolts that hold on the caliper, so make sure you order a fresh set.
I've already had my 3.2 TT at the track (same brakes) and after the 3rd session (out of 5) the brakes began to fade. Also by upgrading you would also get a weight saving although with these HUGE brakes prob the same (lol). Actually I still think even with these you'd save 20-30lbs for both corners.
