I'm sure flat spotting will occur the first couple days on the track w/ this braking setup, hell it happenned on my last track day w/ the oem brakes. But I'm sure it will slowly go away with a bit of practice and possibly adjustment of the proportioning valve.
Thats weird, must be a clerical error. thanks for the compliment, I was expecting alot of angry purists when I decided to post this

I'm running dual MC's and get great pedal modulation. I can lock the brakes up too, just not as fast as a boosted set-up. I've looked everywhere to see if the spare C5 vacuum booster could be mounted in front of the engine, but my custom serpentine is in the way....and the pop-ups that I am not moving....gotta keep something original LOL.
I'm currently running a Hydroboost setup out of mustang, its basically the only "boosted" option(the other being an electric system I believe) for the swapped 944's.

Tilton sent a spreadsheet. Input car specs and...voila....duals with my set-up work awesome. It threw the Tilton Tech off a bit when I mentioned Lexus and Mazda brakes on the Porvette lol.

sorry for the lack of updates, between thanksgiving and other stuff going on I haven't had much time to work on the car. This coming weekend is completely clear though, so I'll see if I can find a 17" wheel (looking at you bruce)

Well, I have the replicas. So I don't know if it will be the same fitment as a real cup wheel or not. But you are more than welcome to use my rims and tires. They're just sitting doing nothing. 17" Stop by and pick them up. My guess is that it won't even be close.

350 whatttttttt ?
seems i got caught drinking the P-car koolaid again, with my measley 322 mm rotors.
as for the op,
fewer and fewer pricey parts from the Porsche bin might be good thing. God be praised.
long as you leave on the skin and the cassette box.

I don't know if anyone has pointed this out yet, but on a C5, when you do the conversion to the C6 Z06 calipers, it is required that you move up to 18" wheels. I know it's apples and oranges application-wise, but I wouldn't get your hopes too high on it fitting.

Depending on inner curvature, the cup 17's may fit. Spence posted a pic of my Wilwood kit with 330mm rotors and looks like there is room to play. Maybe even add 5-6mm spacers. The Cayenne rotors have opened a whole new can of worms....

well the z06 rotors are also 355mm...so there is some hope for you 17" guys as I'm using 350mm ones.
xschop will prob do the machining and if he's bored and has an extra 330mm rotor laying around maybe you guys can convince him to modify the adapter. I dont think it will work on the smaller rotor though due to clearance issues w/ the hub.
