I should have 911 struts in either 3” or 3.5.
Just realize that switching to 911 struts means 911 hubs, bearings, rotors, calipers and hardware. Strut inserts are the same for 3” but differ for 3.5.
The rear is another matter and best to follow the suggestions on Eric’s/PMB brake thread.
Add in the cost of wheels.

The Alfa calipers are very nice. Same size mounting and piston as an M caliper but larger pads. Also need all the 911 conversion parts to make it work and a rebuilt Alfa calipers will be 2x the cost of a rebuilt M caliper.

I’m not saying you shouldn’t do the switch, just be prepared to lay out some cash.
