Porsche 996 Brembo BBK Conversion Install

Is there a particular order you should consider when installing? Similar to how you bleed your brakes, starting with farthest away from brake fluid reservoir. Rear passenger, rear driver, front passenger, front driver?

Should bleed the air out of the system after each caliper install?

It doesnt really matter. Just remember that the brake pad wear sensor is on the front driver, and rear passenger. Those are the only thing different between either side. As for bleeding the brakes, doing it after you finished with the install is the fastest way to do it.

Install order doesn't matter. Bleed them all at the end. The point of bleeding is to get air out of the system. It doesn't really matter how or where that air got in, as long as you eliminate all of it through bleeding.

Good Brembo video if you want to ad it to the original post.

I agree - stick with RR. Just get the brackets and lines at the same time. Quality parts plus fast shipping.

Good to know, thanks.

Thanks for making this thread. On the brake lines, between RallyRoad and CreationsMotorsport (which seem to be made by HEL), which is better in terms of quality/fitment?

Stick with RR. There have been a few reports of issues with CM.

what are your thoughts on ECS's rotors? besides the fact they look sweet af. They are priced way higher than the OEM CSL/ZCP's.

I havent driven the car much since were on quarantine so I cannot give a full assessment. From the very little driving i have done - Braking performance seem to be a little bit better, not by much however. I seem to get better acceleration - could be attributed to the weight savings - Im not sure if this is placebo effect but the car feels more nimble if that makes sense.

All my rotors were due for replacement so I was able to justify spending extra on the fronts for the ECS rotors. If you go through a few rotors, I suggest going FCP Euro route for the free replacement. Cant beat that. But If you are like me - I put about 7500 miles on the car last year as my DD, Im ok spending a little bit more on the ECS rotors - knowing that this rotor will probably last me for a while. I dont track but I like to do 5-6 mountain runs throughout the year - I saved some Pagid Pads for that. Ceramic pads dont grip anywhere near as well but they are great for maintenance.

Still learning this forum and search function. My StopTech Trophy kit just got cancelled because StopTech is closed down. I am debating going the 996 caliper route for some time.

Does anyone know the brake bias numbers for the following options?:

MK20 ABS system
- 996 caliper front, non ZCP M3 caliper rear
- 996 caliper front, ZCP M3 caliper rear
- 996 caliper front and rear

search bar is in the upper right corner of the page, just type key words in like any other search function...

Link below is the thread you are looking for.

Buildjournal has some pretty good info on this here: https://thebuildjournal.com/tech-gui...-chart-e46-m3/

Also clawhamm3r made this super handy calculator: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...gid=1324536543

I believe someone reposted the tables for mk20 and mk60 here, I just don't remember the thread name.
