Still need to drop mine off for paint, but here’s a local friends car that just completed install on his.

ILB - yellow / so classic

Hi guys, here are few photos from my recently finished install.

Love the classic logo. How did you manage that? Looks great!

I created the logos in Illustrator and then custom cut vinyl stencils for masking. Then I painted the logos on with Rustoleum Caliper Paint.

Does anyone know if these parts numbers will work? These came off a 2001 911 Porsche Turbo.
996.352.425
996.352.426
996.351.429
996.351.430

For those with a squeak, Porsche has this TSB out right now about it. Basically the pad is unevenly mating with the rotor surface due to lack of pressure. Maybe when things heat up, the surfaces change directions just enough to cause that low speed squeal. The Macans are all having this problem so it was cool to read the explanation. Their problem happens when a light layer of pad builds up and cause uneven mating. According to Porsche, this is normal operation. One hard brake fixes it.

The weights are on the pads to help dampen oscillations during hard braking. Low speed pad dragging is a different story though. Through hard braking, everything is vibrating hard they have really done well with controlling the vibrations. The PCCBs are part of that solution. THAT is a kit I'd love to see on an E46 M3.

No, you need 996 Carrera calipers

996.351.425, 996.351.426
996.352.422, 996.352.421

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.

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.

[Maxhouse97]

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.

You won't need spacers.

[Arith2]

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

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

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