Porsche Crest 2000 996, upgrade to turbo Big Red brakes

Hi
My name Chris, and after more than 30 years I have another Porsche. My first Porsche was a new 1970 911 S. I sold it in 76, big mistake! I've had dreams about that car over the years. strange but true.
I just purchased a 2000 / 996 / Carrera, 45000 mi. tip-tonic. 18 in. 8-10" turbo wheels, 7mm front, 14mm rear wheel spacers. The previous owner threw in a set of Brembo Big Red 4-Piston, Monobloc Turbo Calipers. P/N RF - 996.351. 430.10, LF - 996.351. 429.10, RR - 996.352. 426.60, LR - 996.352. 425.69. All fitted with Parid RS4-4 Orange Pads.
My Questions : P/N for Porsche, F & R drilled rotors, any emergence brake mods, any mounting hardware mods, I know rear rotors will be larger, abs mods, any modification needed to make this brake upgrade complete?
I'm a currently a ships chief engineer working in the Gulf of Mexico offshore oil drilling industry. My project when I return home to San Diego,CA. this month, will be working on the Porsche brake system. I want to start running the local PCA autocross again. Any and all Info. would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Chris Silva

Hi Chris,

Just wanted to post in the event you decide not to do the upgrade as I'd be interested in the calipers.

Otherwise, good luck!


Cheers
Aaron

Chris.. Congrats on the purchase! Don't let selling your S get you down! My humble opinion is that the brakes on a stock 996 are so good, why upgrade? I say sell the brakes and use the money to pay for all those autocrosses (and sticky tires )
