What I meant by width is "thickness" of the rotor...not the diameter. Specifically if it would change brake feel.

Got lucky and found some new rear calipers and pads locally here in Houston...fronts will probably be harder to find as they are specific to the Turbo.

That's crazy $$ for outdated tech. New generations of carbons are miles better than 997 pccbs. Just my 10c. I'd rather keep the steels and trash them for cheap on the track.

Agreed, looks lovely.
Did it came with aero kit from factory ?
Lately a lot of aero kit cars are popping up on Rennlist.
I having a strong desire to buy the kit. Waiting for my spoiler lifts to fail

Amigo, you have this all wrong...in the Porsche Universe..what I think you want to say is "I will add the Aerokit when my spoiler lifts "never" fail..." Otherwise, waiting for them to fail will ensure your lifts will survive through the apocalypse and end of times!!!! As an added bonus, at least bet someone (me) $1,000.00 that your lifts will never fail...LoL!!!! I'll give you back $999.99 of our bet.

if you live in the south, they will fail much faster...

The Aerokit and Champion RS184 wheels were installed by the dealer when the car was purchased new. I still have the original wheels which have never been used, but unfortunately I do not have the original rear spoiler...

I am a big fan of the Aerokit, especially when looking at it from the rear.

I don't disagree with your assessment, it is a rather asinine project...however, I have really been enjoying the brake feel of the pccbs and would do it over again.

Adding PCCBs to your Porsche; asinine??? Heck No... Living with regrets, because some Debbie Downer called you out...now that's asinine!!! If you can afford it and it makes you happy...GO FOR IT. Life is short...very short. Live and go in good health...JB
