Data seems a bit off to my eye. Granted I don’t know the answers. Seems 365 cars ordered in Lizard and 551 cars ordered with black wheels and lizard lip (I know this is possible as I’ve seen white and black cars posted here with that particular option). Just seems off to me as the aurum wheel color seems more prevalent than just 20 cars. I know a poll here is far from representative but doesn’t hurt as people can participate if they wish and not if they don’t.

Interesting, any software changes or just purely changing parts required?

Me too, I don't care for yellow...like the "big reds"

Spacers to move caliper out ( bought from autoquest) and a longer brake lines ( Porsche part)

I bought take offs from a GT4 with street miles

Same rotor as 992.2

Calipers are identical minus color

I had AutoQuest do the work, they drove a tech to my house and did the work in my garage

7-10k depending if pads included

It was pretty eye opening driving my car with both on the street I'll never own another porsche without ceramics. The car feels more lively..and brake dust is nil. The pedal feel is rock hard, I actually like it

I was always an iron rotor guy and had to eat my words...lol

My rs is also ordered with steels and will get ST put on at delivery

I'll have two sets of delivery mile pads / iron rotors to sell

You can’t buy “steel” brakes. Iron? Yes.

^^ I’m going to need those if .1 and .2 are the same.

Autoquest put my ST rotors on at Sebring between sessions.
Will move them to Lizard when it arrives.

If anyone needs rear RT RE-10 pads I have a very good set left cheap shipped to your door.
Or maybe add fronts. Even for street driving they are good and cleaner then OEM, I bet.
