Default GTS Brake Upgrade to '79 928

Thought I'd post this in case it's of value to other 928 owners.

Carl at 928 Motorsports put the brake upgrade on my '79 928 Spyder together today. Using the brackets from their upgrade kit, we've fit Big Black GTS front Calipers with 993TT 2-piece Girodisc Slotted Rotors (Craig at Rennstore) with rear S4/GT/GTS calipers, complementary Powerslot slotted rotors with the black-e-coating on the hub and vanes, and Hawk HPS Pads Front & Rear.

For any other 928 owners looking to do this same setup, here are the part #s (remember, you need pieces from 928 Motorsports' Kit to make these fit correctly):

GTS Big Black Left Front Caliper - 928.351.423.03
GTS Big Black Right Front Caliper - 928.351.424.03
S4/GT/GTS Black Left Rear Caliper - 928.352.421.03
S4/GT/GTS Black Right Rear Caliper - 928.352.422.03

Powerslot black e-coated Left Rear Rotor - 12637022SL
Powerslot black e-coated Right Rear Rotor - 12637022SR

Hawk Front HPS Pad Set - HB184F.650
Hawk Rear HPS Pad Set - HB170F.650


Should have plenty of whoa now to handle the supercharged go

Note the rotors had aluminum hats. The quality was impressive.

These rotors are GTS-sized of 322mm in the front. I also have the larger 355mm rotors available for those that want them. http://www.928motorsports.com/parts/gt1_brake_kit.php

what are you doing for hub centric issues?? looks like the hat is just floating on the studs. is it not an issue? centering screws enough to get it all aligned?
