They will fit with those wheels no problem...just make sure your uprights have same hole pattern to bolt them on. You will need the bigger rotors too.

C2 will not take c2s or turbo brakes, you will need also replace uprights as distance between caliper bolts is different. C2 brakes are fine, imho there is no need to bother.

uprights are $600 apiece i think, but better call suncoast and ask them. i beleive you only need to replace front uprights.
if you really want turbo brakes - why not. $700 for all 4 corners is very cheap.

Yeah it incoming off a 2008 turbo and he mentioned that it comes with everything I need. He mentioned it comes with pads, rotors, and calipers for all 4 corners. Not sure if it'll include uprights. Car was in accident so not sure if those parts are damaged. What shoul I look for? Btw thx for all the feedback so far

Are 2008 turbo rotors drilled? These are vented but not drilled

Those are not stock rotors. Go get stock rotors or good after market ones from Giro Disc, Performance Friction or Brembo.

Stock rotors are cross drilled...those brakes appear to be possibly belong to a Cayenne...they look just like my Cayenne brakes.

Personally I'd take the part number coasted on the caliper to my local dealer and cross ref it to a Turbo and Cayenne. Those rotors are absolutely definitely not Turbo rotors...I'm 100% positive of that.

Long story short.. thanks to Louie007.. and some research.. they look like Cayenne rotors. Louie007 pointed out some turbo owners use these Cayenne rotors because they are the same size..

So looks like I need to source out some rotors.

1) Do I need to change the fronts and backs to fit these red brembo or just the fronts?
2) What rotors do I go with? Carrera S or Turbos?
