I am going to be adding the full set of front and rear Porsche Cayenne brakes, using the kit linked and Dodge Viper rear parking calipers... and I am just missing the rotors now. Before installation, just need to sandblast and paint the calipers the proper shade of red.

Definitely looking forward to much better brakes before I go to the track.  Though I wish I could do a lap of the 'Ring like you Europeans get to do :laugh:

Are you changing the master cylinder?

Most conversions I've driven using Cayenne callipers have little braking feel due to the miss-match with MS size...you push the pedal too far and end up with no feel.

Why fit such big rear callipers when they only do 10-20% of the work?

Reducing my Golf count by the week....
..but gaining motorcycles.
