Porsche Brembo 996 BBK conversion

[mikeetastic]

Anyone tried the rallyroad machining service? Having a hard time finding a shop that will shave 5.5mm locally. Also does the $100 cover return shipping? It didnt say in their website.

I speak about the quality/fitment of the stoptech (centric) seals/boots one page 1, particularly in the section about rebuilding the 996 calipers.

Good inside info r4dr!

For what it's worth. I didn't have any issues with my Centric seals fitment. Used lots of assembly lube and everything went in with some elbow grease.

Lol! Yeah, that’s me. I did look for the one labeled for rears, but I guess not hard enough. Thanks for looking out.

Anyone else looking to rebuild, ^these seem like a great option. I spent way too long reading about the different kits out there.

It's common knowledge around here that the website doesn't cut it, and this is an example of why. Big part of my job here is relaunching it.

If anyone has any general questions about the products, I'm happy to answer but really I'm here as an enthusiast with an E46 M3 myself. I can tell you that the seals are made from the same material as a company that starts with B, and that the issues with certain other companies' seals mentioned in this thread are something we've seen many times before, plus more. Feel free to call and chat with our sales guy Mike -- he's great -- but just want to clarify that I'm not on here with the intent to sling products lol.

Assuming your first name starts with A, I saw your order come in with the note -- I'll make sure the appropriate p/n are shipped to you.

Fronts are CCRK1-031 (https://www.girodisc.com/Girodisc-Fr...-S_p_6508.html) and rears are CCRK2-031 (https://www.girodisc.com/Girodisc-Re...-S_p_6507.html). You can also find them on the website under the 987 Cayman S/Boxster S category, or by searching the part numbers.

Sort of answering myself after reading this thread again and Rennlist a bunch. There are enough negative experiences over there with Centric and Stoptech branded seals (which are not the same by the way) to scare me away from them for a safety critical item .. seals either too lose or too tight. Brembo is more like $400 so that’s out. The other two options are racingbrake for just under $300 and girodisc at just under $200. Seems like the Rennlist folks have good things to say about both, so I’ll be trying out the girodisc kits.

I bought the centric kits and they were unusable. all of the seals for the smaller diameter pistons on all 4 calipers were far too small. I do not recommend the Centric kits.

What caliper spreader tool are y’all using?

[repoman89]

Just picked up another set after I sold my last set like a fool. Any consensus on Centric seal kits vs OG Brembo? Centric looks like $90-100 on FCP vs more like $175-185 for the Brembo seals and dust boots. Saving almost $100 is nice but would gladly shell out for the Brembo stuff if it’s better or easier to install.

I added the finishing touch, finally got around adding the stickers, i was not going to bother but it does look better now that rears match the front stickers

[Arith2]

Any chance anyone measure how long (mm or inch) are the brake lines for the fronts or rear?

Send an email to RalleyRoad. I'm sure he'd help you out

I was basically told by via email that FCP would do a "like exchange" when the time comes which is totally contradictory of what the Rennlist thread states. The like exchange would be fine with me if they add some other type of track pad between now and when i need another set. As I just bought these and will not be needing replacements or a while I will cross that bridge when I come to it.

[Radekxpl]

The response to the rennlist thread states that the pads will be drop shipped from Feraddo which would imply I can get the ds1.11. As I said I’ll let everyone m is what their response is. I ordered thes on Jan 6th BTW

Damn I missed it by couple days I ordered on the 10th and it was already to late.
