The 2020 Cayman S standard brake system has the same brakes as the 987.1, 318x28mm in the front and 299x24mm in the rear.

Indeed...sometimes.. I'm fantasizing about installing larger front brakes and wanted some idea of how larger I could go.. The original 12-1/2s leave about 1.5" of free space to the insides of the 19" wheels, so going to 14.4s would consume only about (14.4 - 12.5)/2 = ) 0.95" (note) of that 1.5".. I'm looking at the Brembo kits at tirerack.com...

Note--assuming the 4-piston calipers have the same profile as the originals.

There's a great many (and more effective) improvements that can be done prior to having a larger disc. Primarily better pads and better fluid, but also brake ducting to improve cooling (GT3 ducts are $5 and snap right on).

The GiroDisc 340mm upgrade rotors are 2-piece floating rotors and include spacers to push your stock caliper further out. This is ideal since the factory 987 calipers are pretty much the easiest calipers ever to swap pads on.

Are you tracking the car? 987.2s are not known for being under braked. Sebro slotted rotors, racing fluid and racing pads are first steps IF you track the car.
