Default Suggestions for big brake upgrade?

Looking to do a big brake upgrade on my 964 Turbo with aftermarket 18" wheels on it. If I am being honest it is mainly for the looks of them. Any help would be great. Thanks

Brembo Big Reds as used on the 928 GTS or Turbo 3.6 are a direct bolt on.
I got mine off Ebay some years ago. I swapped the balance lines from top to bottom and they were good to go.
It's best to use the Turbo 3.6 rotors and pads too.

I upgraded to the big reds up front.
They feel great!

First buy a set of 3.6 front rotors. second paint your existing rotors red! You are not going to get any better braking from big reds and you will save yourself a lot of money that you can put towards a great set of tires that WILL improve your stopping poiwer

Where do I find 3.6 rotors? They will be an exact fit for my calipers?

3.6 rotors can be ordered from most suppliers... true about tires - fresh PS4s in stock size for a stopping upgrade
