My turbos (991.2 GTS) do not have the covers and have never had the covers - interesting

I have installed GiroDisc 350mm rotors all around. GiroDisc developed the sweep area specifically for the Base calipers Great fit.
Also added GR3 braided brake line kit and studs. The sensors were cut and soldered together. Makes for easy pad change.
Using Pagid yellow. First track session is next weekend if you can get a new O2 sensor in time. Broke when replaced cats with SOUL performance CATS.

Here are are some pictures.

Thanks for sharing your track experiences, guys. Picked up a new to me '18 C2 with 7K miles a month ago, flushed the brake fluid, and she's GTG for COTA in April. What track insurance are ya'll using?

Thanks for the great write-up! Haven't had a chance to track mine yet. I abuse my track Boxster, which I drive at 10/10. I don't think I will be willing to drive my 991 at greater than 8/10. Even so, it will be a blast!
