It is a pretty bad *** piece of machinery. older, but such a good design. still beats outs many newer.
The program should still be with him then.. not completely lost, but getting him to stop what he's doing to turn them out might be another story.
BOB, I just bought some 996 rotors. The brakes are FINALLY going on the car tomorrow. Things are finally coming together.

GOOD NEWS!!!
brakes barely clear cup 2 replicas. I should have pictures up later tonight or tomorrow. I'll see if i can source some real ones locally and check those as well but I'm assuming the reps will have less clearance.

Not only that, the caliper body rides inside the the inner wheel beautifully with that Cayenne rotor offset. Besides the Porsche price issue, the permanent double-bridge design trumps the GT3 caliper design in my book. Also it's showing an M10 x 1.0 input....win/win

So I was talking to my friends who own a speed shop specializing in corvettes and they mentioned that there are issues with the Z06 calipers; mainly a large amount of taper over the pad length. Guess it's an issue of having all the pistons the same size. There suggestion was to go with the StopTech 60's if at all possible.
