Default Warning: Caliper **** Ahead

Just got these in the mail today, they are way bigger than I thought! (that's what she said...)





928 GTS Calipers /w 993TT Rotors, caliper adapters, pads, SS lines, caliper bolts, and a partridge in a pear tree.

Can't wait to get these on! Of course, now I need 17" wheels, lol....

They may be expensive and over kill on a NA 944, but you have to admit they look so cool!

I've seen Wilwood calipers that are easier and cheaper to upgrade, but don't have the bling factor these have.

Yea, it's really not necessary on an N/A. I opened the box and no joke, I made this face...

FYI: I actually didn't spend $1800+ on them.

I got the lot for $1050.

I have a set of 87+ turbo front calipers that are now useless to me. I intended to rebuild them, but, decided to go this route.

What diameter are those rotors? I'm running crossdrilled 968 Clubsport M030 rotors on my S2 which are the same diameter as the 928S4 (304mm) and they stop incredibly well

Those wilwoods look like they came out of a cereal box or something. Ugh. Bling fail.
