Hi i know this has been spoke about many times before but can i use the porsche 944 callipers on the adaptors and do they have to be turbo brakes as well .

Don't think you can use 944 calipers at all mate, pretty sure its the 996 ones you need.

[T4Rick]

I thought it was one of them you couldnt use lol

Can't remember! In the end I went to AP Racing and got a kit off them!

But, then had to buy different wheels to go over them!

Just got some 18s for 150quid off ebay so i dont think im gonna have a problem with brakes

IIRC its the 964GTS front calipers required or 993 calipers. There are many variants so you need to get the correct items which are sold as big reds or big blacks. They are used with the s60r disc and adaptors to suit. There has been problems with castings varying slightly on the porsche brembo calipers so the brackets sometimes can need to be either made to the caliper or the pair you buy altered to suit if the castings are slightly different.

[T4Rick]

cos i was gonna bid on them!! haha

[dalhousie2008]

i do believe 996 calipers also fit, but will not fit under standard wheels, pretty sure neither will the 993 calipers

I thought it was to good to be true mate with no one bidding on them so i chanced it last second
