I have searched and found little on the information I am looking for.
I want to do the wilwood brakes over my 944 turbo brakes. Except I don't want to buy a kit. I want to get calipers seperetly and then have a good friend of mine make the brackets.
I need to know the part number off the 4 piston wilwood caliper and I would like the know the Rotor diameter of a stock n/a 944, and te rotor width.
If anyone can help me out that would be great I can save a lot of money.
Thanks

Turbo rotors are 300mm, na rotors are 282mm. The calipers you need are Willwood Dynapro, sorry no part number for you. If you want to know what fits and need brackets contact xschop, he's done a lot of brake mods on these cars.
Here's what I know: you need 16in wheels or 15in Phonies to clear. The stock turbo rotors will show a slight improvement with Willwoods as the pads are bigger. There is no braking advantage to the Willwoods on na rotors apart from easier pad changes and a lighter caliper. GL

You are wasting your time other than bling factor mounting any caliper on the NA rotors. The 1.62" 4 pots will provide a little more clamping force indeed, but you need a larger rotor. If you can get a 951 rotor with whatever caliper, then by all means do so. There is only one way to properly get a 300mm dia. rotor on the rear mounted NA hub and that is with a low-offset hat. I'm doing just that for a 1-off kit and it will trump the 951 brakes.![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
For a track car, the Wilwood Integra caliper on the Cayenne 330 rotor would out-perform all the Brembo stuff that fit under the same wheels.

Good information thank you guys.
But a little confused. I can get 951 rotors but it's that all I need or do I need the spindles and stuff too?
And by low offset hat for the year here do I get these rotors with a low offset hat? And what calipers do I run in the rear if I use the wilwood dynaPros? Watching for be preferable I know 951s bolts right up in the rear. I have 86 control arms for the rear so what do you recommend or what do I need?
Thank you so much guys I really appreciate it!
