Hey Kevin, My Portland based Buddy (Gary) will drive up and pick-up the brake kit in a couple of weeks.

Have you any info on the RS motor mounts?
Did a search on rennlist with limited results. How much firmer are the RS mounts vs the X73 mounts?

On another note, spoke with Mikelly this week…great guy, speaks very highly of the K16/24 package.

Did my first DE since installing Kevin's "big yellows" brake kit and can report they definitely control the weight of the 996TT better than the stock brakes. Glad I did the upgrade. Once I got the calipers bled twice, these brakes performed great.

Finally found time to install my brake package…..start to finish 5 hours for the install. Also installed the RS motor mounts which required another hour (note, had to delete the bottom washer on each mount as the motor/exhaust sat 7-8mm lower. Now sits about 2mm lower)
