[s-cars] Anyone ever use 944 Turbo calipers on an S6?

[Mark Strangways]

I have driven a s6 with upgraded rotors (larger custom Coleman replicates),
and the stock caliper.
My imprecation of the feel of the brakes would be quite similar to a stage 1
upgrade.
Real gains can be had by simply using larger rotors. This does nothing (or
little) to address the issue of fade.
I know that this car gets driven very hard on the track, and the Coleman's
take the abuse. The pads are done after an event, but those are cheap
enough.

Regards,
Mark
