Ah OK, so i will assume RB do not have any products that can help me use my existing calipers but with bigger rotors (350,355,380...). Thanks anyway!

I´ve purchased a 997.1 2006 C2 with 75.000kmts. Made a complete service and changed all the fluids, filters, belts, and this last sunday I´ve entered a track dayr. My main concern was the oil tempearature and pressure, and it was all going well, until I lost completely the brakes.. the pedal went to the floor after 4 laps.. very scary situation. I´ve pumped three times and the brake pedal worked.. I kept lapping a few times more to cool all the sistems. What should I do to prevent this from happening again? The climate was not so hot, around 14 centigrades at the track.

Brakes were not bleed correctly or completely. You should never lose brakes totally, let alone after 4 laps. So have them bleed by a competent mechanic and use quality fluid. I like RBF660.

I'm getting ready to build a show car and was wondering what application do I have available. Do you still manufacture the 130MM to larger size brackets? I have a '05 C2 base with a 4L engine.

I saw these brackets online. Or you can buy a BBK thats made specifically for your car. The other option would be to swap our your uprights for 997.1 C2S uprights. Good luck.

Thanks this is great!

Am I right to think the rears are the same from the C2 across the 997.1 and .2?
