Hi Matt, (and hello to the list), I would not recommend big reds (the brakes from the 993 twin turbo) - if you do install then make sure you install the full 993 braking system (as they require a huge master cylinder, masses of assistance (servo or hydralic) and lots of brake fluid capacity. Also be prepared to stand your car on it's nose every time you apply the brakes as they are the best road brakes ever made. Smaller porsche calipers painted red would be my suggestion and would be a lot cheaper. Have a look at this article http://www.rennsportsystems.com/~porsche/2c.html which tells you everything you need to know about Porsche brakes.
