They're only 280mm anyway, the same as standard brakes. The calipres are probable 4 pots though...

Brembo's are 305mm.

My Porsche brakes (ECS Stage 2v2) are made and stamped up by Brembo.

I have a AMD porsche 993 turbo front kit fitted to my LCR - they are made by Brembo
AMD, Bill Brockbank, ECS (imported by JBR performance) among others, do various Porsche kit for front fitment but beware because it`s not so much a matter of getting a brake kit to fit, more the problem of getting wheels to fit over the brake kit!! - often spacers are needed - it can get expensive so check your clearances carefuly before you buy!!

porsche brakes are made by brembo and mount identically, although i dont think the brake hose is interchangeable. ive had 996 brakes mounted on my ICR brackets.

[beattie17]

[cu51pra]

[beattie17]

[cu51pra]

So I can fit 996 brakes ? what size are they, 305mm ?

 

[cupra44]

If I buy that kit off e-bay in the 1st thread will if fit straight on?

 

[beattie17]

id say it would fit straight on,if i had the £ id be bidding

There are several different fitments of brakes on Porsches (axial, and radial bolts as well as different spacing), and of offset between the disk centreline and caliper mounting (so there are multiple size of bells). For example there are 2 types on the 944, one is compatible with the 993 Turbo style (not sure about lesser 993 or 996 models), but GT3 is different again.

To my knowledge they are all made by Brembo, though.

On a Porsche with a D90 you can't really see the caliper, but I guess mine have always been black.
