Does anyone have experience/advise on the right way to go about this brake upgrade?

I bought a set of used Red Brembo's off an 05 C4S Turbo 996 and need to figure out what bits I need to complete a successful upgrade...

New fluid/flush, Rotors, brakelines, pads, new bolts... what size/brands and what else while I'm at it?

Thanks in advance!

You need to change the wheel carrier, a turbo is AWD.

Thanks David, any more details on what the wheel carrier should look like and how to purchase? Is this just for the fronts?

I heard mention somewhere of changing the "knuckles"...?

Surely you dont have to change out the entire carrier (item 1) ??? Isnt there an adapter of some kind?

Without sounding like a broken record, have you tried searching? There's been quite a few posts on it already.

I poked around a bit more on this site and found this thread...

Are there any alternatives... this sounds like a serious endeavor!

Thanks for your patience folks...

Yes it is a very serious endeavor. You will need the entire
spindle assemblyI(hub/carrier). You will also have to replace the hard line section by the caliper. I'm slowly acquiring parts for it.

Thought about the 380mm versions but decided to stick to 350mm so I can run 18's.
