Message	Home made kit Custom caliper bracket and rotor hat. Stock Porsche rotor I run the stock Porsche pads on the street Hawk blues for the track They have worked flawlessly so far. I have a setup for my track car project as well. Prices on Porsche parts have doubled over the years (calipers used to be $300 each off the shelf) and it's no longer worth doing this conversion. Plus its a pain in the ass to try and order pads and get rotors turned since I cant tell them what year Porsche I have :). Stoptech kit is cheaper/easier.
