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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Does anyone have experience/advise on the right way to go about this brake upgrade? I bought a set of used Red Brembo's off an 05 C4S Turbo 996 and need to figure out what bits I need to complete a successful upgrade... New fluid/flush, Rotors, brakelines, pads, new bolts... what size/brands and what else while I'm at it? Thanks in advance!

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks David, any more details on what the wheel carrier should look like and how to purchase? Is this just for the fronts? I heard mention somewhere of changing the "knuckles"...? Surely you dont have to change out the entire carrier (item 1) ??? Isnt there an adapter of some kind? http://www.autoatlanta.com/porsche-p...section=401-05

POST 4Original post

Without sounding like a broken record, have you tried searching? There's been quite a few posts on it already.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I poked around a bit more on this site and found this thread... https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...kes-on-c2.html Are there any alternatives... this sounds like a serious endeavor! Thanks for your patience folks...

Yes it is a very serious endeavor. You will need the entire spindle assemblyI(hub/carrier). You will also have to replace the hard line section by the caliper. I'm slowly acquiring parts for it. Thought about the 380mm versions but decided to stick to 350mm so I can run 18's.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
