Default Any Prospeed Porsche brake kits left?

This seems like the most cost effective route in the grand scheme of things for:
  • Reliability
  • Performance
  • Access to parts and service
Anyone have a used kit or know of a new kit that's for sale?

I don't think there is any left, unless you find someone that has yet to install one and wants to sell it. However instead of PSM there is Stoptech and Movit which are pretty much identical to Prospeeds.

even thoughProspeed uses the same caliper Movit , it is leagues below in fit and finish and engineering of the components as compared to Movit or Stop tech.
just my thoughts after seeing one.

Curious .... Does the Movit kit require shimming the bracket for alignment?

I can say my brackets in the front needed no Shims. My park brake caliper needed a a couple of small shims to center the caliper on the bracket though.

The Prospeed brackets are CNC machined and very accurate. The shims are provided because of design tolerances in the oem spindle, not bracketry. If you were able to bolt on a fixed caliper/fixed rotor setup to the traditional GM quality control manufactured spindles with no alignment issues, then god himself was smiling on you that day.

Sorry I have no pre-install pics of these brackets, however NataSS inc has an uninstalled kit from the last batch of 12 that were sold ( as were mine ) I'm sure he could send you some pics if you wanted to see them.
