Default Really Big Reds!!!!

Too bad they dont fit my 17" wheels, this package is for an audi, but just look at the size of the thing!!

Yes, they look cool, but they add an enormous amount of unsprung weight for (usually) unnecessary braking improvement. Now the audi brakes need help if you're tracking it, but on a Porsche? I'd rather invest in decent pads and if I felt the need for some color spay paint my calipers.

What are you going to do with your old brakes?

Wow those are monsters! Honestly even though the brakes on my Audi S4 are "big"... I have faded them in our local canyon roads and couldn't imagine serious track work without upgrading them. On the other hand, the 911SC brakes with Pagid pads and Ate fluid on my 914-6 are awesome.

Of course the 914 weighs about 1500lbs less !!!

Default these are cheap....

Its off the Porsche Cayenne and its a front only pkg that inlcudes everything down to the stainless steel lines and brake fluid for $1500!! I know, but search for their info yourself. The rotors and brackets on this pkg is for an audi, but u can ask them if the have a 911 pkg.
rotor size is 355mm i think.
