This is not a probability of success.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

hi guys, has anyone on this forum done a 380mm rotor upgrade or purchased the AP racing Big Brake Kit for their base or S 991 Carrera? https://www.essexparts.com/ap-racing-by-essex-road-brake-kit-front-9562380mm-porsche-911

POST 2Original post

Haven't done a big brake upgrade previously but the one important piece of advice that was given to me when I was toying with the idea was to ensure the pad shapes and swept depth of the rotors don't limit your pad options. That is, choose brake systems that use common pad shapes and not ones unique to the kit...
