Thanks Radium, I read a thread on here about that. Lots of talk too about changing the braking bias.

Thanks Woody. Do you have both rear calipers loose? I'm curious if the insides are wider due to the thicker rotor. I read your informative article about the differences.

Has anybody actually done a base to S "rear" brake conversion? I know the front conversion is very common,


I haven't started on the rear calipers yet. These 330mm real rotors look so sexy! Nothing sexier then a big brake system on a Porsche.
I'm going to need the S parts Woody mentioned for the base . I will try and get the bigger rotors on both the S and non S to see if they even fit this weekend.

Here's a good link from JFP in PA:
