Porsche brakes, again

[adam cupra 20vt]

I have done a search and there seems to be a few different opinions on these.

Can anyone tell me what Porsche Brembo's I can and can't use on my 312 LC discs?

I think 996 rears? what about others?

What else is needed? new lines and spacer brackets? where would I get the spacers from?

One last thing, would a set of Brembo's from Fiat coupe 20vt fit as I know where there is a set.

Not 100% sure I'm gonna do it yet as have other things planned but I am looking into it

Posche part numbers etc.

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

£250 for some brackets!!!

Surely you can get them cheaper than that?

Very handy tho as it has caliper part numbers, thanks for that

what did you decide after adam?

 

[ADAM_84]

Sorry to hijack the thread slightly, will brembo's out perform say DS2500 pads and EBC grooved ultimax discs? My brakes are getting near to being changed and I can't decide what to do also clearance could be an issue with brembo's as the wheel might not be deep enough to take them. My cars a LC at stage 2 so good brakes are required ;-)

Cheers

4 pot brembos and oem pads will still be slightly better than ds2500 in single pot calipers, but ds2500 in 996 calipers are fantastic, depends on budget really.

i have 996 rears with ds2500s on 312mm discs and they are awesome

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

what did you decide after adam?

I decided the money was better off spent elsewhere at that time

Just got CRN grooved discs at the moment.

 

[MarkWales]

same as I am thinking - but I know I will need to sort the breaks as its on all new (about 11 months old) genuine vag discs and pads

 

[ADAM_84]

Think I'm going to go uprated pads and discs with higher temp brake fluid.

 

[Blobster]

Sorry to but in, (cant PM people yet!!!) I bought some 996 rears to fit my 312mm discs and just need to know if i will be needing wheel spacers on standard 17's??? oh and also any particular carries that are a good fit??

Many Thanks

No Sig neither (only done 2 posts - lol)

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

yes i need too kick on with brakes too , wear sensors on dash now so very soon

 

[james walker]

you will need spacers with oem 17s yes... think dk runs 15mm fronts with starfish alloys on his track day alloys

youll need custom carriers also

daveb1970 off ukmkv1s used to do carriers..

 

[Blobster]

Cheers James, ill look into the carriers now. Cant wait to get them on with my G88's

No Sig neither (only done 3 posts - lol)

 

[Blobster]

Got my 996 carriers on the front with some FCP1308 ds2500's on and tbh, not impressed. Anyone else got similar?? interested to hear others opinion....
