I read the title wrong and thought it was going to be one of those horrible 4wd wagon/estate things

That is really nice and I'm not jealous at all.
What size are the brakes that are coming off it as they don't look small?

They should be about 320mm Tony. I must admit I saw that change to the spec and thought the fella had lost his mind. I like the K-Sports I owned for three years, but the Porsche brakes are phenomenal ( or the one's that I've tried have been)

urgh the panamera...saw one the other day in manchester..look truely awefull!

yea the brakes are ok, but they take a while to work properly...and there isnt much feel through the pedal it feels a bit spongey.....hmmm im still thinking k sports on a porsche is wrong, i think you can get the brakes of the cayene and they are pretty meaty, might go down that route. if its not to expensive.

As I mentioned Max, I've owned K-Sports and on my M3 track car they were superb, but your Cayman should have had good stoppers anyway (I take it it didn't have the ceramic system?) Were the 320mm discs and calipers insufficient then? Surely a pad swap to something like Pagids would have been a good first step or have you tried that already?

no negative on the ceramics unfortunatly, id love a set of them, but i bet they still pull a premium second hand, i just want to get the brakes out of the way really, would really like some serious stopping power, the porsche brakes dont seem to give that instant stopping power, also on a more silly aesthetic side...they look to small too!

For that power, it's a good time and terminal speed. Certainly digs in wheel in second. How did Phil Morrison get on? (Driftworks S15)

Pretty impressive. A 12 second car with a bit more practice & grip.

Love the ducktail spoiler. Where did you source it from. Tried googling but to no avail.

surely they'll have it at a dealership .. when I want parts I call H-tech styling and ask Chris there to source
