Porsche 996 brake caliper upgrade
I’ve just bought some 6 pot AP’s off here and I’m ordering the rear 4 pot kit to match, it’s a bit overkill but I’ll be doing some track days at Donnington and really wanted a tried and trusted formula. I thought about Porsche fronts and OEM rears but it’d be a blind purchase as I’ve never felt the pedal feel on this set up on an M and I have tried AP’s before so that’s the way I’ve gone, pedal feel is a lot of the fun in a car imho.
M roady...OEM CSL’s, strut brace, Remus back boxes, ZHP
MR2 MK 2
E89 35i project car...mapped 365bhp, M4 stoppers & wheels, KWV3’s, H&R front ARB, M3 front arms, strut brace Eisenmann cat back race exhaust, VRSF downpipes inbound

Exactly how much are they fouling the std 224 wheels? Just 1 or 2mm…?

If we're talking about the Porsche Brembos, then I ended up fitting 12mm Eibach spacers to clear mine.

No, sorry.
We just kept trial fitting the wheel by spacing it out with penny washers (1mm thick) until it cleared the caliper.
