I doubt these will offer much of an upgrade over Mike's old 996tt 350mm brakes I am running, but if they do then I'm all ears Dave/Alex  :evilgrin:

You'll get a name for yourself trying all these different brake kits  :innocent: :P


ha ha, am guessing might notice more difference by changing B12 for Ohlins....

Did someone mention Ohlins??
He's definitely twitching.

Feeling a bit underbraked (visually) with my 330mm discs now boys..the brakes look great Rich.

Very nice!! I must stop reading all these threads with brake upgrades :(

I know what you mean. All the talk of this remap gets you 1 pony and 3 torques more than that one bores me senseless, but brake porn threads make my credit card tingle!

Ohh.. and apparently, this is the only kit like this. The calipers are not readily available, and these are one off brackets.  :signLOL:

Small problem with the calipers. The outer Pistons are sticking and causing the pads to bind so it's with Alex being sorted out now. If it can't be fixed then I'll be swapping these out for the some red. TTRS calipers.

Well...... Those didn't last long.

TTRS calipers going on tomorrow. Same discs and pads  sane piston sizes so braking should be the same. Plus, the ttrs are monoblock calipers so in theory the should flex less.
