Hi guys

Just wondering which Porsche calipers you have used on your Leon

 

[Willie]

The big reds are the ones I've heard people using
I think DPJ has them

 

[mike.c1979]

See this thread its a 993 twin turbo 341mm ones

 

[mike.c1979]

i already have a 312mm conversion but want to just add the porsche calipers. do you know if this is possible with any of the porsche calipers?

 

[Willie]

So you want to buy new porsche calipers and keep the same discs?

 

[mike.c1979]

is that possible? im running the 312mm setup at the moment.
the kit from awesome is the mounting brackets and lines for 233 quid
found some boxster calipers for 165, bit tatty though

 

[Willie]

Dunno but not really the done thing, most people buy bigger calipers because they want to use bigger discs awell to give better stopping power.
What size discs is the calipers for?
Theres a set of LCR brembo calipers on ebay just now, there for 323mm x 28mm discs

 

[mike.c1979]

have you got the link for them?

Check out ECS if youve got deep pockets

 

[mike.c1979]

haha i dont have deep ones
Just shelled out 600 on coilovers, then drop links, adjustable top mounts and strut bars. Spent over a grand in an hour hahahaha

 

[mike.c1979]

have you got the link for the LCR Brembos on fleabay?

 

[Faisal]

[mike.c1979]

lol i hvae painted mine red too, but just fancy putting the real thing on

 

[Willie]

have you got the link for the LCR Brembos on fleabay?

there not there anymore

 

[mike.c1979]

i just bought some 996 rear 4 pot calipers plus the carriers for 250 quid. apparently they will fit onto the 312mm discs im using already and i will only need pads and hoses (plus new retaining springs) to get them on

 

[Willie]

Are they for the same thickness of discs though as there is a porsche with 330mm discs which is the same size as the LCR but there for 32mm thick discs instead of 28mm

 

[mike.c1979]

i will have to check. maybe an excuse to buy some even bigger discs hehe. will the LCR discs be ok?

 

[Willie]

Na no good, the discs to pad clearance is very very minimal with 28mm, so no chance with 32mm.

 

[mike.c1979]

so do you think the normal 312mm discs I have on now will be ok?
