Few questions;
1. I've been hearing rumor that 944 owners take the brake sets from 996s and put them on their 944s. Is this possible? Are the brakes bigger or just have that much better performance? should I get those or the Wilwood kits I've been seeing allot? Simply put, I want bigger brakes (what are the 944 rotor sizes anyway compared to these so called big brake kits?).
2. Are there any OEM braided lines? Or do you know of any brands that meet or exceed OEM specifications?
and 3. With the motive bleeder, do I still have to jack the arse of the car higher than the nose to bleed the clutch system?

Q1-Look at this link:

Q2-ATE is the Porsche OEM supplier.
Pelican Parts sells DOT certified highway stainless break lines for our cars. The interesting thing is that for the 911 Pelican sells the "-3"==DASH 3 quality lines with the inner teflon reinforced with stainless steel and the outer stainless steel cover. I did not see this for the 944s. Ask when you order. Another link:

Again maybe go with the best DOT approved highway Pelican stainless hoses until you go "big bucks".
Q3-If you replace the Master and Slave clutch cyl and hose, you will still have to raise the rear due to the mounting of the slave. It will trap an air pocket and the petal will be soft. I have no problem in raising the car to the top of my jack stand when I do a normal system flush.
