what brake characteristic do you find sub-par with your 911sc's current system? As I understand it, since stock 911 brakes are more than appropriate for our cars in stock/not-super-upgraded tune) as they will lock up the wheels when one slams down on the pedals (they have stopping power that exceeds the tires' adhesion), the only real "upgrade" one will realize from different brakes is increased fade resistance from the increased thermal efficiency of larger rotors (something that only really comes into play in track/track-type situations). Boxter calipers and/or other options that use stock rotors will not decrease fade (but do generally create other problems, such as sub-ideal front/rear bias). The 930 option is a great SYSTEM that Porsche designed to work with the increased demand of the 930's turbo engine, but is pricy. Suggest you read up on the posts that resident brake guru Bill Verburg has made regarding the plusses and minuses of the various brake "upgrade" options out there. One VERY straightforward upgrade to consider for your 911SC would be to upgrade to the wider front rotors introduced with the '84 911 Carrera -- these would provide additional thermal efficiency for a (relatively) minimal $$$ outlay.
