Porsche 996 C2 Upgarde to 996TT Brakes

Hi all,

Can I get a DIY with pictures of everything involved in upgrading the front and rear brake rotors and calipers on a 2001 996 C2 to Turbo brakes (aka Big Reds)?

Cheers

Aaron,

I have the big reds, but didn't DIY. Basically you need the calipers and the rotors, clips, wear sensors, etc. It does require a mod of the caliper and you need to make sure that the setup will fit behind your wheels. I decided to pay someone to do the work. It was a relatively small amount of money compared to the cost of the parts.

Good luck!

So you didn't have to change the front suspension mounts for the calipers/rotors to work? I wouldn't mind hearing more about the modifications that were done to make them fit if you can find out and if you went with the Turbo rotors as well.

Wow, this looks like a pretty cool mod
