Porsche Brembo 996 BBK conversion

Anyone know if the PFC 2 piece rotors work with the 996 kit?

Here's the link to the TSB explaining brake noise.

I said screw it on the stickers but they really do reduce the oscillations. That's what causes the noises in brakes. When you push the pad to the rotor, it'll create multiple harmonics and it'll be one of those you hear. The pads are dampened with the idea that it'll help deaden certain frequencies out. The sticker dampener is probably the biggest key to reducing noise along with grease on the sliding points. Sometimes it can literally be as simple as a spring being uneven on the pads. Once I remember to download it, I'll post the Porsche TI on brake noises. It applies to all vehicles and explains it in depth better than I could ever

Did you guys install the brake shims below or can you leave them off?

Make sure to apply anti seize to the front ones so you don’t end up with these stuck inside the pistons.

I just wanna add that Rockauto has the Centric(StopTech) rebuild kits for pretty cheap, for dustboot and pressure seals. The caliper hardware kits are cheap too.

Just search for 2000 Porsche 911 Carrera (non S).

Thanks! Did you get new front ones or reuse the ones that were with the calipers you used?

I bought and used all new ones.

I installed mine. They help reduce noice from the piston contacting the pad.

Well there you go. That saves a few dollars off the swap.

You won't need spacers.

Ok thanks - after getting these wheels I’m really reluctant to do anything to push them out further outboard due to rubbing/aesthetics. This is primarily a street car with some HPDE.

Will the Porsche Brembo calipers clear ARC8 18x9.5 ET35 front wheel?

Didn’t see a definitive answer from Pawa’s post before, Apex’s site implies that it does.

I would get 5mm spacers to be safe but it should.

If you want carbon ceramics, the F8X CCM system is probably as bolt-on as the F8X blue calipers.

I'd never want it on my car 😂 that's like $3k a rotor.
