Porsche Brembo 996 BBK conversion

[dl.m3]

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.

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

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.

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

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.
