They're pretty much the same, both 4 piston. I think the Porsche brakes are basically just Brembos with a few minor cosmetic differences anyway.

Well, thinking about it and considering the tax, the fact that you'd have to ship the Brembos, there's probably not much difference at all- in regards to price.

How about the 21st also? My brakes won't be up by the 14th

You'll find me there on both dates and maybe tomorrow.

Me too. Additionally I didn't have time to bed-in my new brakes (need dry weather for that). However, I'll be at Nuerburgring on Sunday (if the weather is better than today).

Guys, I don't want to poop on your party, but from experience I can tell you that the Hockenheimring has very little grip in the wet. That coupled with slightly outdated F-body rear axles might cause a bigger adrenalin rush than you reckoned with.
2slow

ps: even the good can come to grief. 3 Weeks ago a friend wrecked his 996 in the wet coming out of the Nordkurve, tail drifted out and he crashed into the inside wall. So, if you lose it there, make sure that you fly off towards the outside of the curve.

I had a lot of fun in the wet, but that could be contributed to the SO2 Pole Postions I had, coupled with my level of driving expertise! ;) :P :lol:

I remember in February this year leaving the track a couple of times with ChevyV6 . At that time the track was just a little damp. It was horrible to put power down . Had to drive like I had a egg under my go pedal foot and shift earlier.
