Fitted bigger disc on the S

[Smallblock454]

Hello madmodz,

the Porsche calipers are popular because they are Brembo monobloc calipers.

Concerning the rotor: what exact dimensions does it have? Is looks like a rotor made for a Porsche. Could you measure in mm please.

As far as i know all faster 996/997 models do have 330 or 350 mm brake disks in front. Most of them are 330x34 mm or 350x28 mm. Only the hub diameter differs.

The 986 has 5/130 diameter.

There are some 345 mm discs from other manufacturers. But a.f.a.i.k. only Porsche uses 5/130.

Regards, Markus

If you're looking to sell your base brakes, I would suggest putting them on QuattroWorld. The Mk 1 TT folks (2000-2006) love to convert to base Boxster brakes.

Well some good news. I found a hardware store that has long bolts, so I bought a few of them to test bolt length. Unfortunately they are not hex head. But those will come later down the line. So I put the rotors in my sandblaster to clean them up a bit and lo and behold some numbers appeared. 991.351.404.01 09 04 13
Not sure what the 09 04 13 mean but the other numbers link up to a 911 front rotor 340mm x 34mm. So I plan on spending some serious hours in the garage tonight because I have no life. The saga continues.....Can we fit bigger rotors on the S for cheap.

Thanks Markus and Husker for your help. Whats the going price for a set of base calipers
