924S Brake Upgrade
What are the most obvious brake upgrades for a 924S?
Looking to beef up the brakes a little when it is time to replace the rotors/pads.
928 or some other model calipers? What rotors?

There is not a lot you can do actually, get fresh calipers, rotors and stainless lines. Going to the s2/928 brakes requires swapping the hubs and struts so it's involved and expensive if you already had decent struts in your 924. Your other option is the rennbay wilwood kit for 750. It's nice but does not increase the rotor diameter so it's not a huge braking gain. Just rebuild what you have and it will stop well. I did just that on my 924 and it was good. Are you tracking the car?

Have you put a V8 or turbo engine in the thing? If not, then you probably don't need to upgrade the brakes - just make sure the stock units are functioning properly, your fluid is fresh and you have good quality pads.
If you're just looking to spend money on bling, I believe there's a Willwood kit for NA 944s.
