[V8] G60 Brake Swap

[Coleman, David]

You'll get two types of responses: leave the ufos or go whole hog and convert to porsche brakes. I had g60s and upgrading to 996 calipers was the best thing I've done. I've never had the priviledge of ufo brakes, but from my understanding I doubt I wouldve made any change had my car been so equipped.

G60s fade too fast and suck in the wet. The ufos are a general pain not suffered with a more conventional setup. If you're going to go thru the trouble, do it right and chec out bira.com

Let me know if you'd like more specific details.

Was considering the G60 Front Brake Swap - 
does it require any mods to the suspension, 
ie struts? What is general consensus
on whether it is worth doing?
