Just wondering (if your going to buy some for your 997), do you really want to buy big brembo's when porsche's brakes are allready some of the best brakes on pretty much any exotic car, and the brakes from the factory are all ready from brembo?

some pics for u. i have also picked few 8 piston pics for u to compare. go with the new 6 piston light weight set up though if u decide to upgrade the brake. i love the pedal feel & it looks better than 8 piston kit. the difference between this to stock is night & day. u'll have to try it to believe it.

first 2 yellow pics are 8 piston. i prefer the 6 piston performance though.

The white 997 with the white Brembo calipers is a nice look

6 piston kit is lighter & better pedal feel than the 8 piston kit. more pistons doesn't mean it's better. u need to look at the piston size as well.

the retail price on the front 6 piston kit is $4,295.00. email me for 6speed price & detail pricing. we can order them in any color with different logo or matching rear kit.

as far as for Cayman the kit will work since the only difference is the mounting bracket.
