Also when and if you do it, I would flush the system with some decent ate super blue fluid and replace the lines with staineless braided ones for better feel.

well I would first see if you need to change the master cylinder to match the new calipers.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

there is a set of 4 996TT brake calipers, rotors, and pads available for sale in my area at a good price (like $1000). i have a '99 c2. i am considering upgrading the brakes but want to ask you experts first. my questions are: 1) is this even a good idea? 2) what else would i need to complete the install? 3) any issues i should be aware of, such as brake lock, throwing off the weight transfer, etc? thanks

POST 2Original post

well I would first see if you need to change the master cylinder to match the new calipers. I would also look into what the proportioning valve setup/abs is like from the turbo to your c2. I was also looking into that. Otherwise you will need the adapters to mount the bigger calipers to the spindle etc, and you will need to make sure that you have proper clearance in the rim, whatever ones you have. Hopefully the 18's. Those are the real questions. Also when and if you do it, I would flush the system with some decent ate super blue fluid and replace the lines with staineless braided ones for better feel. Then it will be pretty sweet. OH, one more thing is the pads, are they used? if so they have to be put on the same way, so... depending on that you might want to consider new higher performance pads, as I have heard if you don't put them in the same way after use you have problems, especially with squeel. I believe the stock turbo brakes come with the oe textar/Pagid pads that are netorious for squeel if not bedded, and correctly reinstalled. Food for thought huh?
