), and rotors are still like new (while a few micro-cracks have appeared at the front, nothing unusual) and pads last easily 3 to 4 times longer than front pads (again, nothing really surprising). I ran for a couple of months with only the front BBK last year -the rear BBK was not available yet in the US- and the car did OK.Enjoy your next track event even if you have to go easy on the brakes!

Centre Radiator install
Freed Performance installed the centre radiator on the 991 today and made custom grilles at the same time. I have not seen the car myself but received a few pictures today. Could not resist and had to share them

You may actually be just fine with doing only the front BBK and running Pagid's + stainless steel line with the stock brakes at the rear. I got the 15" BBK for the rear (to play it safe ), and rotors are still like new (while a few micro-cracks have appeared at the front, nothing unusual) and pads last easily 3 to 4 times longer than front pads (again, nothing really surprising). I ran for a couple of months with only the front BBK last year -the rear BBK was not available yet in the US- and the car did OK.

Centre rad will be a great addition for the summer months down south. Congrats.

Awesome - thanks!
BTW - has anyone tried fitting the 265/35-19 R888's in the front? Will they fit in the wheel housing?

Eric - thanks! Somehow I thought you ran 255's instead of 265's ... what size wheels and offset did you use?

I had another tire size on but it was the wrong OD. Changed out to the right spec and the car feels fantastic!
