Porsche Brembo 996 BBK conversion

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

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

No, you need 996 Carrera calipers

996.351.425, 996.351.426
996.352.422, 996.352.421

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.

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.

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

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

Mine screech when warm and come to a stop. I have Textar and Porsche pads so I think it's going to just be somewhat noisy. Mine are also silent when cold. I know they're warm when they make noise. It's only when I do light breaking though. They don't make any noise above 20 mph. I opted out for the caliper sticker inserts because I was ease of removal and not to spend $70 on noise I can live with.

I had this issue on the rears, I retrofitted the red backing plate from a set of ceramic brembo pads I had and the noise went away. I no longer have any noise at any speed at any temperature

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

I am still getting a slight squeal when coming to a complete stop, but it has improved since re-bedding the pads. It is still not gone, but it is really only audible when having the windows down. I want it gone completely, but I feel like putting more miles on the car is helping. The last bedding was 10+ stops from 60-75mph down to 20. They were smelling a ton and I felt like I reached a temp threshold with the pads. Interestingly enough the squeal is not present until the brakes get some temperature into them, I don't hear the squeal the first few stops from cold.

Did you figure out the torque specs?

Front:
Adapter to king pin: 50 ft-lb
Caliper to adapter: 35 ft-lb

[MathewM3]

Tbone, Do you happen to know the torque values for the adapter to the king pin? Also the caliper to the adapter?

Did you figure out the torque specs?

Love the look!

Turned out Great! 🤙

Meh. This thread is for the DIY and those who choose not to overpay. We respected your thread by not posting within it. But this thread here is for those who are a bit more savvy and willing to do the legwork or educate those who might go that route. To each their own.

for me, a dollar saved is a dollar earned. Those within my social circle with an E46 I point them through the process while spending half of that asking price.
