[s-cars] Brake Kits Revisited

[Mark Strangways]

If you have the Bira brackets, why go to ecs... ?
The Bira design uses the same size rotor, and it is available at dealers
(sorta).
The benefit is you get "better" calipers with the Bira design... ( I am
going to start a fued with that).
As the 993's are a bolted together caliper subject to bolt stretch. (repeat
phrase above) The 996's are the "monoblok" style.
Pad choices for the 996 are coming one line from the aftermarket bussiness
now.

I like my Bira stage 6 stuff, and it was only about 1700 USD complete.

Just my 4 cents Canadain on the subject.

Looking for a little guidance with the next move:

Finally going to to pull the trigger on the ECS Stage 2 kit which includes:
³Four piston Porsche 993TT calipers with custom mounting brackets wrapped
around 12.4"(314x30) OEM one piece rotors. Complete kits include all
mounting hardware, Porsche fasteners, Hawk HPS (high performance street)
pads, OEM slotted and cadmium coated rotors, stainless lines and ATE Super
Blue.²  Here are my concerns:
1. I have the BIRA system 3 brackets; does this fit into the equation?  If
so, where?
2. There is no price difference between the slotted and the slotted &
drilled rotors included in the kit, why not go for both slotted & drilled?
Is there an argument against drilled rotors?

Anything else I should be aware of?

Thank you all for the help sliding down the slope,
