6 pots for my TT

[Sunnysidebb]

Any one know the max size of disc I can run on the front of my 996tt with standard fitment 18" rims. Alas I feel that my car might have out grown its standard discs

I'm sure you can run a 997tt disc and caliper kit on the front of the 996tt.

350mm for performance friction, I think alcons might be 360mm. Much more that and the bias is too much on the front breaking Frank.

think 997t 6 pot calipers and discs are a simple straight swap and quite a popular mod

[Sunnysidebb]

Thanks guys.
Gary, would 350mm be enough on my car do you think.

The 350mm/GT3 six pot upgrade is a well worn upgrade path.It is what Ken has on his car.

I think hi-spec does a 370mm brake.... the 380mm brembos need 19s tho.

You'll be fine with 350pfc's - size isn't everything !!

[Slippydiff]

Alcons used to be 362mm. Stick a set of them on with 996 Mk2 GT3/GT2 six pots and RS29s and you'll not find them wanting.

Having moved from a 996TT to a 997TT I can happily confirm that the improvement in braking is very marked indeed.

+1 I have GT3 six pot on mine. Had them for about 4 years now, would recommend for anyone who upgrades their 996t to 500bhp and up.

997 cup, GT3R and GT3RSR all run 380mm front, 355mm rear under 18s so im guessing 380mm is about the limit you can fit under that rim size.

You won't get the brembo 380mms under the 18" hollow spoke twists on the 996.

budget something slightly under £2k.

hi,
What size would you say that would be for and it would be 6 pots as well I presume.
Thanks for the info.

Frank

They were the designated size (Steels) for the 996 GT2, so you should be fine......

Thats for 6pots, 350mm PFC discs and pads. Alcons are a fair bit more expensive.

Yeh I am really looking forward to those 4 pots at 200mph - still at least I will have the enjoyment of you sitting next to me Frank
