850 Big brakes (Again)

**cherry1809** · Tuesday 26th July 2011, 11:07

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.

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

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.

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** · Wednesday 24th August 2011, 11:22

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.

HTH,

Scott..
