I'm thinking about upgrading the calipers and rotors and have been eyeballing 996 GT3 brake setups. Anyone done this before?

Two different somewhat easy upgrades I know of - 350mm brakes which use stock calipers, spacers, and 997 rotors and 380mm brakes which are a bit more involved and require calipers as I recall. Bear in mind that 380mm will also likely not fit 18inch wheels, only some will fit. I've got a google spreadsheet with many of the part numbers, the spacers for 350mm are silly money if you buy them but fairly easy to make.

Thanks, buddy!

I think I'm gonna go all in on the brake upgrade. Larger calipers and rotors. I have 19's so I should be good with clearance.
