850 Big brakes (Again)

[cherry1809]

With the Porsche calipers, Is it the 996 model I need with the XC90 discs?
There's a place just down the road from me selling some calipers, And If I can get them cheap enough I'll leave getting the alloys done for a minute.

[p fandango]

its calipers off a 996 turbo (or TT as they seem to be unofficially called) you want. I think you use them with S60R 330mm discs, aren't XC90 336mm

Cheers chap.

Mine were s60r 330mm discs but the calipers were off a 928gts

[thunderace]

You can use calipers from Porsche 944 s2 turbo, Porsche 928 5.0ltr and Porsche 993 3.6 ltr and some 993 turbos.

996 calipers require larger wheel spacers for use.

Cheers for the info people. I won't bother with them for a minute then.
Shame as they're only 2 mins from where I work.

[merc85]

Hi Me and a Friend are embarking on a project, Upgrading the Size of Brakes for are 850's.

Does anyone know what is the Maximum size Disc you can get to fit under a 17" Rim??

I think Niles has 305's on his...

The AP kit with the 4 pot calipers and 325mm x 28 mm discs fit under Volan's and Titans.

I have 330mm AP discs/calipers behind Comets ;)

[frobes2]

I have 330mm Brembo discs (S60/V70R) with Porsche 993 Twin Turbo Calipers. (red ones, black ones are off 928GTS) behind 17" Team Dynamic 1.2's and there is loads of room!!

ipd say you can fit the same calipers behind Titans or Volans but you will need to run a spacer, I didn't want to use spacers so opted for new shiny wheels, not sparkly Niles lol.

Thanks mate ,callipers dont seem so expensive to buy off ebay either

[T4Rick]

Can i use the std 928 callipers or does it have to be the gts?Are they also single pot or twin pot?

[swampy]

Thanks mate ,callipers dont seem so expensive to buy off ebay either

and suitable custom braided lines from me.

[frobes2]

Exactly what Pedro said..

I ended up e-mailing CJ directly and he was really helpful in getting them sent across the water, took 5 days in total..

He will be able to tell you which calipers they will fit, the ones I have (993TT) are four pot, two small pistons should be the leading piston therefore the top piston when fitting them to your car. I spent a little bit of money on some Pagid RS4-2 pads but any pad that fits these calipers is going to be up to the job, I was going to buy the rear calipers off a Cayenne but have decided to stick with standard Volvo discs and pads as the whole set up is awesome. Definitely get braided lines and some decent fluid and you will be very happy with high speed braking!!

Scott, what size RS-R's are you running on your 1.2's? I assume they are 8J? My 235/40 17's are a tight fit!

I have the same 235 40 17's on mine, little bit of a bitch to get them on but very happy with them..

[Volvostorm]

Have you got any rubbing problems with this size? I've also got pro race 1.2's in 8J :)

[chrjen]

Scott.

What ET are you running on those wheels?
