Porsche brakes

I can get my hands on a set of porsche 996TT calipers pretty easy and cheap. I emailed this guy who is making caliper brackets for brembo/porsche. Do you guys think it can be done with his brackets?

Actually just got a email response back... He said those certain brackets wont work but he can make me a set that would work. Just needs a couple dimensions!!! I will update on this as I go if I can follow through on putting a nice set of porsche brakes on my car.

Looking like I could be able to do the Porsche brake upgrade for right around 600-700 bucks. Thats perfect considering a BBK is like 1500-2500

It won't be a overnight process but it will be a pretty cheap BBK kit. And the guy I am going through already has some for normal porsche brembos these are TT brembos. So a little different brakes and adaptor. the guy is on this forum so if you want his contact let me know. I have priced it out to be around 600ish to do everything. 300 for the calipers, 100 for the rotors(just basic rotors) 150 for teh adaptor plates.

Yea if those goes smoothly people could buy calipers off ebay to upgrade them to and see a great increase in braking for 1/3 the price of what the BBK go for.
