Porsche 911 GT3/GT2 hybrid from Movit 330X34 up front 321X32 in the rear/// 4piston calipers all the way around

Looks? immaterial but it will cause women to get wet and men to pop a chubby
Price?5000 USD

Braking power? Able to outbrake the finest machines on the planet

And I have a knock off version of the Movit kit ... a 13" rotor with 4 piston Brembos from a 2002 996TT.

I do believe I have, on occasion, altered the rotation of the earth.

Other kits include Stoptech and Wilwood. BAER is basically what you already have.

A budget kit is a C5 conversion, like offered by LG Motorsports. It's about 1/3 the cost of a Stoptech kit.

BTW ... I'm talking about fronts only

I'm running the willwood superlite 6 kit on the front, excelent kit, got it from LG, also running their rear kit (4 piston), only works on 3 channel ABS cars though.

here is a install guide on the early ls1 version/lt1 kit:
