Do Turbo Brakes swap to 996 C2?

"did you go with the TT hubs/carriers or GT3 ones.?"
GT3, and it was no problem. the TT ones are made for AWD cars whereas the GT3s are for narrow bodies.
"This make PAINTING the calipers RED a viable choice...since my c2 brakes (black) work GREAT anyway!"
this is the most intelligent thing to do cause it doesn't put on a bunch of unsprung weight. it's obviously a buttload cheaper too.

that's probably why your stock 996 shocks fit the carriers without needing to be thicker. The turbo shocks are thicker in diameter and the carriers accomodate only thicker ones.
BTW, how is the supercharger treating you? Have you done any time trials or seat of the pants tests?

it's treating me great, but it has a voracious appetite for rear tires :-)
"Have you done any time trials or seat of the pants tests?"
most who have ridden in it have experienced ghost like symtoms (of course my test rides include some corners too!) :-) it's WAY faster - in every gear at every RPM. todd is getting ready to test his car - think some magazine is doing an article on it. however, he has heavy 19" wheels and does not yet have the light weight (faster reving) flywheel. i still suspect his timed results to be stellar. remember, these cars are cabs (3300+ lbs wet). also remember these cars produce more power, all the time, than a GT3 except the GT3 goes to 8k RPM.
