    Kaaper,

    I have tried to make improvements on the braking power of the S2 first by buying so called sport discs like drilled Zimmermann etc and fine pads. Apart from having a Nice disc behind the wheel I could not achieve ANY improvement in deceleration. None. To feel that it is really better, you must change the whole set. Caliper, disc, steel braided lining, pads. There is no way you can spare the money. That's the truth.

      Do you think that there isn't difference if I change the original brakes to Porsche 964 ones with new disks?

        If you change calipers AND bigger discs, then its OK. Only calipers with small discs are not worth the investment IMHO because your surface is not improved considerably. Since the disc is the least expensive of the lot, you shouldn't skip them. They are more important then a coloured caliper. Less visible, though...
