The caliper mounting bolts in the front won't line up. You will need P/N K99634115791 (left wheel carrier) P/N K99634115891 (right wheel carrier) and 2 bearings P/N 99905304207. the rear should be OK but you need to replace the rotor, I believe your C2 front caliper is the same as the Turbo rear caliper
Double check everything at the dealer.
I am instaling GT3 brakes, So my P/N is different again (6 pistons)
Your looking at about $ 1200 List, maybe more, PCNA just raised parts prices again. If you dont track the car, it looks good but probably not worth it. Obviously you will need to take the front suspension apart to install all this. BTW The bearing is a press in fit so you need to do that too...

tom thanks,
question though:

you said:

are these wheels carriers from a turbo or from a GT3?

thanks once more...

Part numbers are from a GT2 - no front wheel drive, Its the same P/N on the GT3. I should have my stuff in a couple of weeks but they have been on back order for over a month. Seems there are none to be had any where in the world including Germany. in case you want to know what kind of grief I have, I want to install as soon as I have them.

They have my deposit at the dealer, altough its good to know. I'll use this as leverage. I apreciate the offer, but its sounds too complicated. I wont have it ready for my next event anyway, so it is now a winter project.
