Default Alcon question....

I been talking to the guys at Stasis and they are claiming that there BBK Front n Back will fit with stock wheels. Can anyone chime in if that is true?

I don't want to install it with the stock wheels and they end up not fitting. Have to wait 2 months before my Zeforged come in.

Thanks

Stoptechs will fit under the stock wheels, I believe the Alcon calipers are smaller so should be ok.

Alcon > Stoptech > Brembo (IMO of course and for the record I have Stoptechs)

If i had a choice I'd go with Alcon's only because Statsis is fairly close to me

Default My Brembo's have done very well....including lots of punishing track time

I have not used Alcons or Stoptechs, but people are also happy with them.

One nice thing about the Brembos is that most of the parts can be sourced easily at Porsche dealers/suppliers as well. This includes maintenance parts like rebuild kits and also many pad options.

Later,
Ryan E.

When I need pads, I just find the best source for 993 Turbo brakes. Lots of options.

Default the kit that everyone seems to forget about is ap racing

only a few people on this forum have them, but they're supposed to be great. i believe they're priced between StopTechs and Alcons
