Jens Hansen, of Hansen Motorsport, is a great guy. I spent an afternoon at his house the last time I was in Germany and had a wonderful time. He does some really nice stuff with T3s and such in Germany. I can highly recommend him to anyone looking for some high-end braking.

Cheers,

There are other options. These are for those who are really serious about their brakes, and in particular for those fitting powerful engines. That is the Hansen Motorsport Porsche kit for all 4 wheels, and Hansen also makes custom kits.

My Hansen 993 kit is on order, with adaptors to fit wheels with 5x114.3 PC. -- Andrew Grebneff Dunedin New Zealand Fossil preparator <andrew.grebneff@stonebow.otago.ac.nz> Seashell, Macintosh, VW/Toyota van nut
