[s-cars] I HATE my Porsche brakes!!!

[Joshua Decker]

I've seen a lot of people unhappy with the current brake upgrade options for
their S4/S6. Which leads me to ask the question of the day ---> How many of
you would be intested in a Stoptech Brake upgrade kit for the S4/S6
application?

We've been in talks with Stoptech regarding this kit for a while now and are
trying to find out what the interest level would be.

This kit would be custom designed and engineered specifically for your car,
not adapted to it from another car (993/996 for example). It would be
designed to work in harmony (read: balanced) with your oem rear brakes and
would include stainless steel brake lines on all 4 corners.

More information on the Stoptech brakes can be found at http://stoptech.com/
(Click on Technical for their tech docs)

Please email me if you would be interested in seeing this kit come to
market. Price would likely be around $1895 (give or take $100) depending on
what rotor size ends up being optimal.

Thank you!

Yes, that's right, I hate them and now I am starting to hate my car! Anyone
want a S6 with 51k miles? Take it please. Not really. So as previously
posted, I am having some vibrations (making a humming noise) coming from my
front end. (993 carrera calipers, S6+ rotors) It almost sounds like a wheel
bearing, but it is not. It is the pad hanging up on the rotor. I replaced my
aluminum brackets with RS2 steel brackets with some custom made spacers.
Nothin'.  I called Dave Jones (he has seen this, however only on URS6s, not
on URS4s), he said to file down the leading edge of the pad, well, tonight I
did that, nothin'. The sound (which I can feel vibrations in the steering
wheel and floorboard) actually got worse. My next step is to turn the
rotors, then move them left to right, to reverse the direction of the slots,
which are now facing away from the direction that the rotor is spinning
(I've seen both ways) . If this does not work, its new brakes time. I am
thinking 996 turbo calipers over Porsche rotors. How does this work? Do you
need a new hat (not for your head silly)?
Anyone have any suggestions???? PLEASE?????????

PS, I might want to sell my car, but I will set it on fire first
