951 BBK question ( help :) )
I have a 951 where i want to upgrade my brakes next winter.
It has the early suspension in front where the disc are in-between the wheel bearing.
And my Azeva wheels just fit under my fenders, what is the offset difference between early and late suspension?
If I’m changing to late I also need to buy KW / HR coilovers.
Or do I just go in CAD and make a new bell with AP disc`s ?
I’m going with the Bigblack 996 calipers and 330x32mm disc in front and 324x24mm in the rear and 996 rear calipers.
Sorry for bad writing, too early in the morning in Norway atm..
Thanks for all the help coming, i really appreciate this forum

If you search around [race shops], you should be able to find several options for adapter brackets that mount Big Red/Black calipers to both early and late turbo spindles.

Brackets are no problem, im after senterbells and brake disc.

Not sure what you mean by senterbells...hubs?
IF you are having a tough time squeezing your wheels under the fenders now, with an early offset suspension, THEN changing to a late offset suspension is only going to make matters worse.
In other words, if your wheels need an additional 10 mm offset now, they will need an additional ~40 mm with a late offset suspension.

Im planing on big black 996 calipers, And 330x34mm disc.
Is the newer spindle And wheel bearing more solid than mine?
Can the newer use 996 discs, or do i need new hubs for the disc?
Sorry if My sentence buildup is bad.

Unless you are racing, on the track, and require a larger mass for heat dissipation, there will be no performance gain from a BBK on a street-driven, canyon-carving, 944 turbo...I can put you through the windshield of my car, at will. There is absolutely nothing wrong with those baby black calipers, 99% of the time.
Are you going for aesthetics, or bragging rights...or you just have a couple thousand Euros burning a hole in your pocket? Now, if you just want a BBK on your car, no argument from me...your car.
Suggest you wander over to the 944 turbo forum...there are plenty of guys over there that can't help themselves from making constant, continuous, improvements to an off-the-shelf chassis Porsche sent to countless race tracks around the world. Someone over in that forum has undoubtedly gone down this rabbit hole with various levels of results/success. Best of luck.
And don't worry, your English is fine.

If you want to keep early offset but want an easier path to a BBK, you can run late hubs and spindles on early suspension. The offset difference comes from the a-arm.
This is the setup I run. Aside from the work to replace the spindle/hub, it keeps everything else much simpler because you can use more standard off the shelf parts from caliper adapters all the way to rotors.
