What car you want to fit the brakes?
For my Carrera 3.2 I'm using 997 C4S calipers (36/44 pistons) in front with a slightly modded Peugeot front rotor fit behind the hub (could be also 993TT aka Big Red) and for rear 930 rotor and slightly modded calliper with 30/34 pistons. Fits in 16x7 Fuchs.

I know the go to answer is that the stock brakes are enough however i want more bite and a more modern caliper as i have a built motor and the stock brakes feel a bit under powered. It will see some track time so also want something that can handle the heat well.

I'm waiting on a set of these from Tuthill racing in the UK right now. They run them on all the gravel rally cars, including what just ran in the East Africa Rally. I had thought I might go turbo reps or AP or similar, but after talking with the Tuthill folks, they seem to have very good success. Cost effective too.

Would love to hear your experience with them. How much were they?

Old thread, but they are under $300 a corner and perform well. They are noisy though.
