One of the first front big brake kits many years ago used Porsche calipers and rotors. That's all I know.

there's probably 100 different porsche calipers and rotors.

porsche rotors won't fit for sure, unless you redrill them, at minimum, because they're the wrong bolt pattern.

As far as I know, there is no direct bolt up Porsche caliper. There was a kit made several years ago by Movit which offered an adapter bracket and Porsche 911 calipers/rotors. The main issue is that it required 18" rims (and cost over $2500).

The previous owner of Damian's car had them and I believe Damian still has them on the car.

Yes, that's the Movit kit (if they still sell it).

If you find a way to do it, here is a web site where you can find P-Cars brakes for a resonable price. Take not that those are "stage 5". If you go to stage 2 which is also a p-car brake system, it will be cheaper. But p-cars brakes are heavy!!!

i'm pretty sure they have to move the bleeders as the porsche caliper sits at the front of the wheel.
