New member 997 turbo advice.
Hello everybody, new on here and bought my first Porsche 3months ago, it's a 2006 manual 997 turbo. I love the car, it's really grown on me. I live in Ireland and used to drive heavily modded BMW m3s. Infact I still own a v8 m3.
I need to put discs and pads on the turbo soon, I was thinking of OE discs and maybe a pad with some bite, ideas welcome?
Also I think the suspension is flawed being too soft in normal and not damping enough in sport. I intend on using it as a fast road car.
Also are the exhaust systems different on gen 1 and gen 2 turbos? I've been offered a full arkaprovic off a gen 2.

Pictures of the car in question are required. Sorry, but rules are rules.
OEM brakes have plenty of bite, if you track the car just switch to PFC 08 or Pagid RS-29 pads then put the stock pads back in when done.
The suspension is flawed from the factory with the 2 modes. TPC Racing has a DSC box that transforms the stock suspension, it is highly recommended.
Gen 2 exhaust is completely different. Won't work.
