Big brake kit

[Bergerac]

Just be aware not all 17inch wheels have enough clearance for 996 calipers, mine didnt

[cda951]

Those 996TT front calipers are tempting---does anyone here know if these fit under any 17" wheels, or are 18" wheels 100% necessary?

They fit under some 17", but if you use 350 disc, 18 is the only option.

Plenty of options
Design 911 has adapters and discs.

Thanks for the info, though there's always a possibility they may need refurbing. Which is something I could do to my original late turbo calipers I suppose. Do you know if the big red copies Lindsey sell are any good? I'm already running 18" Gemballa wheels.

Hello, I have never seen or tested the copies, if they don't leak or flex while braking they should be ok.

But a used 996tt set of calipers are 500-1000$ used.

The calipers are likely Chinese-made Brembo replicas, often sold under brands like MEAT or JMP. Just confirm piston sizes match (usually 36/40mm). Cayenne discs are 330x32mm, so double-check rotor compatibility.

IMHO I would stick with Brembos and stay away from the Chinese made ones. 996/997 calipers are abundant, cheap, and very easy to rebuild if necessary.

Agreed!
