Did you made the conversion for the GT3 or TT 996 Brakes?
I wanna do this conversion, but didn´t new wahat pasrts needed.
-
Nothing new ?
Have you choose the car, and do the upgrade?
-
I have already the front calipers, rotors and pads, now I need the wheel carriers? It´s only the parts I need?
-
Girodisc are nice rotors, but they only change the rotor, not the caliper. Unless your C2 is making considerably more power than stock, the calipers you have are more than adequate with the right pads and good, fresh fluid. I am also working with a brake supplier to produce two piece, aluminum hatted floating rotors in stock size, that will come in cheaper than Girodisc.
Thanks for the help.
I think my car have 300 - 330 hp, I have to go to a dyno , to measure the power. So maybe with this modifications I didn't change the rotors or calipers:
- castrol SRF fluid
- goodridge hoses
- 997GT3 cooling ducts
- PAGID RS29 ( yellow pads)
Opinions?
Thanks
-
Thanks Loren.
It´s a possibility, a less expensive modification, with Brembo kits, I hear too aboult the girodisc solution.
Less expensive too. Do you knew this kit´s?
-
Different ABS controllers and different wheel carriers.
Do a search here - you will need to change the wheel carriers.
Thanks
For me it seems very confused the information.
I really need to know what pieces I have to buy without doubts to do this conversion.
All the correct pieces.
-
I think you will also need wheel hub carriers.
Are you planning on turning ABS off?
Thanks Loren
No I don´t think turning off the ABS.
Only to change calipers, and discs, if that was possible.
Can you show mw a photo of the wheel carriers?
-
Thinking to do do some track, I intend to make a brake upgrade in the 996 C2 2000.
I need to know if that is possible, to change the brake ssytem, and what I need to buy to do the conversion 996 C2MKI > 996GT3MKI ?
For now I think in the front only.
It needs only calipers , pads and discs of 330mm?
Parts:
99635140991 DISC TRV FRT Left 996GT3
99635141091 DISC TRV FRT right 996GT3
99635142910 Caliper Breaks FRT Left 996 GT3
99635143010 Caliper Breaks FRT right 996GT3
Pads , I don´t insert the codes because there is so much options, in other brands.
Thanks for the help.
-
everything it's lead to Pagid as far as i can see
i also understand that the Pagid Orange are the best suit for my needs?
what about the Pagid black?
who carry them at resonable prices anyway?
I think that the best kit to upgrade the brakes are:
PAGID RS 29 front and rear
Goodridge Braided Hoses
Castrol SRF Brake Fluid
997 GT3 Front Brake Ducts
997 GT3-2 Rear Forced Air Ducts
Hope I help.

Aboult te painting, did you go with the paint in teh brakes calipers?
-
Yes, you can mount up 8.5" wheels in front with offsets of 50 or 52 mm. You can run a 235 tire in front without rubbing or contact.
I have 8" front wheels on my MY99 Carrera and I am running the same size tires you quote above.
You do not need spacers on the front or rear.
Thanks Loren
Yes I think a 8" ET52 wheels in front was ok and don´t need the spacer. However he have already in back the 10" ET65 with a 17mm Spacer. They look fantastic, so I think I stay with the spacer back. Now I trying to find the GT3 front wheels in 8"ET52, but is not a easy find.
1" is aboult 2,54cm
0,5" is aboult 1,27cm, it was a big difference.

Hello
I I own a 996 C2 Coupe 2000 recently with the factory GT3 KIt,( I don´t know if there is a code for this GT3 Kit) and I notest he have :
- Front 7,5" ET50 - 225/40 ZR 18
- Back 10" ET65 - 285/30 ZR 18 ( he have monted a 17mm spacers)only in back
It is possible to mount in front the 8" ET 52 in front?
In both situations is correct to mount spacers in front? In this case 5, or 7 mm ?
I notest that in front the wheels are inside the arch of the car. In back are ok, with a good looking .
Thanks in advance for your opinions.

In my 996 2000, I have:
7,5Jx18 ET50 with 225/40 ZR 18
10Jx18 ET65 with 265/35 ZR 18 ( 17mm spacer)
Recently I change:
10Jx18 ET65 to 285/35 ZR 18 ( 17mm spacer)
And I try to find a:
8Jx18 ET52 with 225/40 ZR 18 to install in front. ( then I see if I would install a 5 mm spacer)
The car registration have this tire options.
