Early 997 Brakes have no grab
Took car off truck from east coast. Brakes were horrible. 40K miles Manual No track time. Mechanic said they were rusty from sitting with little use for 2 years. Rotors were only 1/16" lip. Pads 20%
New rotors and pads. Good stuff. NO DIFFERENCE. I can slam brakes on so hard ABS triggers and the cars comes SLOWLY to a stop. Like it has no grabbing power. Many many Porsches over 45 years but never a problem like this. Any ideas. Thanks

Replace brake line hoses, work calipers back and forth by hand and then flush with new fluid. Sounds like the calipers are stuck or maybe seized. If you can't work them in and out then you may have to rebuild them. These brakes should be very good.

tony is correct.
the calipers are not fully engaging.
