Hello I am about to upgrade my C2's suspension to a full coilover suspension and now would like to address the braking and upgrade my brake setup. Just wanted to know from either experience or knowledge what are some good choices and options to consider. This is currently a street set up build with the occasional canyon runs but plan on tracking this beast once all the upgrades have been performed. Again this is for my 2000 996 C2 and currently I am on 18" CCWs Thanks in advance!

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hmm, all my other cars strive to be upgraded to Porsche brakes. Just saying. What systems are available to upgrade 996 brakes? Full racing stuff?
You're gonna get the pro's and con's and all the opinions of a BBK on a Porsche and I know this is gonna derail into the normal RL course extended to xx pages. 1. Upgrade to OEM GT3 calipers/Rotors which will require you to upgrade your spindles to Turbo or C4S versions. 2. Stoptech aftermarket kit 3. Brembo aftermarket kit 4. Retain stock calipers and get bigger Giro Disc rotors with adapter brackets for Calipers 6. Audi calipers on stock OEM 350mm GT3 discs(poor man's setup). Note Audi calipers are not mono-block and still 4piston although bigger piston sizes. 7. Upgrade to TT calipers(not worth it considering you still have to change out to TT/C4S spindles) or get adapter fabricated. 8. Better brake fluid/pads/lines.
