Also consider upgrading the brake fluid to something like a Pagid racing fluid to help - something the previous owner of my last 911 did and it also won't need replacing as often apparently (a techie thing beyond me!). My 996 had Pagid yellow pads by the way - they do squeak sometimes as well just so you are aware from my experience wink

Given my 03 Turbo's brakes have just over 110K miles on them I'm going to try to buy the exact same items when they are due to be replaced.

FWIW I have put zimmerman discs (bit cheaper) on my C4S and haven't noticed any difference in braking performance / feel.

Good, thanks. Just had the Turbo's 110K mile oil/filter service done and while the car was on the lift I had the driver's side rocker panel cover (plastic) replaced. Something punched a nice big hole in it.

Car is due to go back in the shop Tuesday to have an RMS leak fixed.

For mod's all I've done is when the stock 996 Turbo shifter broke I had the tech install a 997 shifter which was an improvement over the stock shifter.

Other than that...stock.

any of those but why .not fit something a bit better and still R90 like Brembo HP2000.
