Default Big Brakes -- heads up
This is the second big brake kit I have seen in two weeks. No reserve auction, and no affiliation.

Very suspicious. Both the seller's account and his only visible feedback are recently active after years of dormancy.

Yum! And from the same seller I think. Does this require 19" wheels?

A 380mm rotor will more than likely require a 19" wheel. I made a set of hats for a RUF braking system that uses a 380mm rotor, and 19" wheels were a must.

I like it! Is this a direct replacement or would other parts be needed?

Way more brake than a n/a 993 will ever need, you would still need rears as well.

JMO but why would anyone ever put something bigger than RS on their n/a 993.

You don't want those brakes. I have the brembo 355mm kit and its almost too much. And brake pads cost a fortune.

You'll have to get larger stone guard plates as the bigger rottors will rub, or just don't use them.
