    Porsche Big Red Brembo Part#?

    I plan on upgrading my brakes when i swap over my hubs. I guess i will be using the RS2 carrier. I am under the impression that the 996 brakes fit these carriers. I wont to get my brakes from Brembo, does anyone know which brake is actually used on the 996.

      What is wrong with Porsche brakes, they are Brembos afterall.
      Been discussed, follow this thread.

      They can have my car when they pry my cold dead fingers from the steering wheel.

        I know that. I can get my stuff directly through Brembo for a super discounted price. And as for running the Bilzcat system, I really like it, but after hanging out at brembo, I realized I want to run their floating hat and disc set up... It helps with heat transfer and dispersion.

          Well if you hang out at Brembo, then they should be able to tell you which of there calipers is used on the 996/BoxsterS. Then you can let the rest of us know the answer to that question. This would allow persons on the forum to buy a Porsche caliper without have to buy the Porsche name.

          Please let us know.

            Call me daft, but I'd rather have Brembo logos than Posche logos on my brakes. Actually I'd really prefer no external logos - just to help with the stealth factor

                I agree with you Paul. Personally I rather see a thin film of brake dust than any logo.
