PS. Love the front axle lifting system. The turbo should have one. Again job well done on the order. Too bad the CL system was difficult to work with. Hope Porsche makes it more ergonomic in the future.

Brian,
how is the break in going and what can you tell me about the ceramic breaks versus the red calipers?
Do you notice any difference in road performance with the ceramics or is this an effect that will mostly be felt on DE events?

Congrat's MJones..I see you like Guards Red! I love my 997S Guards Red and think I have found my color from now on out too.

I changed from the red to ceramics on my new one. On the road, I'm not sure I would notice any difference because the stock breaks are so good and I'm not ever really on the edge that much on the road.

What I do notice is that the ceramics are quiet. My steel rotors would squeal a lot. Also, no break dust. To me, its worth the difference for these factors alone.

Thanks for the reply. Can't wait to try them on my new Turbo.
