Warning: Caliper Porn Ahead
#61
ist'nt there a rotor like about 300mm x 24mm with 35mm offset to mount at the backside of my hub ?
Is the 282,5 rotor of the carrera really the largest available with this mountig option ?
@doug: how can i contact George B. ?

I will be re-visiting this mod soon, but to get a true bolt-on kit for the deeper 84-85.5 NA hubs. I'm not sure If I will use the 300x32mm rotor or the 309x32mm rotor

od ray of sunshine/words of encouragement to rally the troops in 3.... 2.... 1....
caliper **** is nice. unfortunately, it won't get the cat f_cked with all the endless wrenching,
withering/crusty electronics and snarky, interference motors breathing their last breaths.....

jeeze, I didn't mean to kill all the good cheer....
still, the endless head gaskets, bent valves, grenaded clutches, no-starts (that fester), and spent rod bearings remind me of the flashes seen by astronomers around the world's observatories (and radio telescopes) when one of the supergiants lights up one of the nearby galactic disks.... marking the end of the line for another beloved 944 and leaving another traumatized owner thinking of happier times.

Whether they do or don't is not central to the discussion. This is a Porsche forum, where one would normally go to discuss items germane to German vehicles. I'm sure there are plenty of chebbie forums where one can discuss how much better a short block is v. some other engine, or what rods, valves, timing chains, ad nauseum, would be best for doing burnouts at the stop light. But, in this forum, I would expect the person talking about actual Porsche components could do so without hearing the same old crap, time, after time, after time, after time...

Even the new GT3's are all of the road.... Porsche is still producing $hitboxes that prematurely frag themselves. You can' t dog their calipers, trans, or AC, or steering since they outsource them.

....oh and the RMS/IMS but that was more preventative and another saga.
I certainly wouldn't consider them $hitboxes.
