brakes on a cayman are pretty straight forward. DO NOT reuse the caliper mounting bolts they are one time use bolts. Also do yourself a favor and spend the money on factory brake pads and rotors.
Pros: straightforward installation
Cons: do not reuse bolts
Vehicle:
Porsche Cayman
It's not hard at all. One thing you want to watch out for is that Porsche is adamant about not reusing the bolts that hold on the caliper, so make sure you order a fresh set.
Pros: easy installation
Cons: replace bolts

General Artic Altimax are great tires.
Pros: great tires

Hankook RS4s have my recommendation if you're not going to compete in sanctioned time attacks where prizes are on the line. I value tire longevity rather than saving one or two seconds per lap with a theoretical perfect racing line(not something that's bound to happen often).
Pros: tire longevity
Cons: less grippy

Pagid RS29 are what I always used to run on my Cayman, and I loved them. Now I run Ferodo DS1.11 on my STI, and I'm a big fan of them too, but I'd still probably go back to Pagids if I went back to Porsche.
Pros: loved them

I had Hawk HP+. They were extremely noisy and dusty, very strong bite though. I now have the standard Hawk HP pads, no noise and far less dust. Not as much initial bite, but still really great performance. I wouldn’t swap back to the HP+ after having both.
Pros: less dust, no noise, good performance
Cons: noisy, dusty, less bite

They're great pads, and when you've fried them you'll get a new set under FCP Euro's lifetime warranty.
Pros: great pads, lifetime warranty

I don’t know why, but I like them on the 996 but don’t on the 986
Pros: liked on 996
Cons: disliked on 986

Similar story: a lovely pothole seemingly gave me a flat (felt really jarring) on one of my Pirelli Sottozero 3s. Was flat within 10 minutes...Turns out the pothole actually cracked the rim (which caused the flat) and then the short time I drove on it mostly flat, had ruined the sidewall on the tire as well.
Cons: cracked rim, ruined sidewall
