some models of porsche is made by movit..... not sure which model is made by movit and which is by brembo... but its too costly and not worth the rime doing it...

btw... G power has brakes made by movit with 405mm rotors...
AP racing just released for E60 too... and they're better than brembo

That's correct. I had the Brembos on my Boxster "S". Nice braking!! Kept me from some bus stop booths and some walls!!! Another reason why I decided to sell...not responsible enuff for that car.

Porsche brakes are made by Brembo. And they won't fit BMWs but they may fit some of the Audi models..
