He has a website, but it doesn't appear to mention the brakes!

His e-mail address is:
<info@Hansen-Motorsport.de>

He seems quite chatty and doesn't mind answering the same question
several times. His Englisch is pretty good too. Call him, wouldn't
hurt to tell him I sent you.

The kit cost is steep... it's costing me $6700US, with new 993 rotors
& calipers, front & rear. With these brakes you MUST have wheels with
large openings to show the brakes off.

He also will sell the kits sans Porsche parts, so you can source your
own, used if you can find them cheaply. Front & rear kits can be
ordered individually too.

I wonder whether I should join the local sportscar club? They might
initially laugh at the thought of a sports VAN... but not for long.
It would be nice to take it out on track days!
