Pat,
You need at least 17 inch wheels for 996 Turbo brakes. They use 13 inch
rotors and as a rule of thumb, you need a wheel with 4 inches larger
diameter
than the rotors.
If you are using 17 inch or greater wheels, the 996 Turbo calipers are
probably a good choice. The 996 has about the same weight distribution, is
a
bit heavier, and is nearly a 200 MPH car, so we are leveraging the Porsche
engineering. If you have 18 inch front wheels, you could consider 6 piston
996
racing calipers which use a 14 inch rotor. There is also a huge selection
of
pads for the Porsche calipers.
One other issue is if you want dynamic (or floating) rotors. Dynamic
rotors
are mounted using a slotted interface so the rotor can expand relative to
the
hat. For serious heat, this reduces stress and lets the rotors last longer
without cracking. I think most serious race cars use dynamic rotors. We
can
probably work that out if someone wants it. We are using Coleman rotors,
and
they make both hats and rotors for dynamic rotor setups.
We have brackets to mount the Porsche 996T calipers to the spindle and
rear
carrier, and they are designed to match the rotor positions using Wilwood
"Pantera" hats.
Pat Mical makes (or at least use to make) a brake upgrade using 996
Turbo
calipers. Since he is doing work for you , you might ask him about them.

Hey guys, since we all like Italian cars and living on the edge, ok some of
us, anyway.. Just checking to see if any one likes Italian dogs. Cane Corso
to be precise. I have been breeding these bad boys for years and just had a
litter in early November. They will be ready to go to their new homes at
Christmas. Just putting it out there. Be safe.

What's up Mr. Dawg? They can get up to about 150lbs for the males and 120lbs
for females. That is for well bred dogs that is. Most that are in the US are
smaller between 90-110lbs but poorly bred with small bone, skinny legs, and
little muscle. They are an extremely rare and very old breed. Here are a
couple pics. If they don't come through, hit me up.
