You will need to work with the ABS sensors, and the spindles can cost you around $500 or more. Used F/R caliper and rotor set will cost anywhere between $1-2.5K, not hard to get around $1.5Kish if you are willing to wait.
This setup, according to some, will have very similar brake bias compared to OEM. I wouldn't mess with the Porsche ones or any other ones myself since that cars are too different.

However, StopTech currently has about 20% off discount, you can get the ST40 Front only kit for about $2200, which IMO is a better option than F8x especially for performance

Thank you for that. I was weary about messing with Porsche brakes to begin with, but you make some good points.

Regarding the M4 retrofit, do you know the part number for the spindle? Knuckle?

Is it the entire spindle assembly? or just the part itself?
