Heinmo...rad my bruva. Me likie the twisty. Looks super swift with the curvatious lines of the moldingless S4. Unless you throw down for the Brembo's, it just may display a hint of riceage

 

Keith THAT was one of the funnest reads to date

 

About the brakes though.... don't wash them in hot water next time!

 

Heinrich,

>The calipers and rotors .... they SHRANK!!?? DR, can you please advise??

If you think that's bad, Check this out....

 

Heinrich,

Were did you find 19" turbo twits? Solid spoke I imagine. I am almost done with the 18"s polished lip and darker centers. I find the big calipers look small with the 18's so they would be really lost with 19's. If you need I have a new set of 993TT big red rears for sale. You can have them machined to replace the fronts. They would look much better.

 

DAMN Dave that looks teeny. Why bother really? ..... Looks like you could just crawl through there to get your head behind the wheel to inspect it. And look at all that BLING, you have checkered flags on your tyres ... Oooooooooooooooh ... Seriously I love those humungous shoes

Anthony, I lucked-into them, private sale. Unobtainable, even on other porsche forums. Solid spoke, I think porsche OEM. So 993 rears, i think they are the same size as S4 fronts?

 

Heinrich,

>DAMN Dave that looks teeny. Why bother really?

Parking brakes :-)

> ..... Looks like you could just crawl through there to get your head behind the wheel to inspect it.

Sure is easy to clean!

> And look at all that BLING, you have checkered flags on your tyres ... Oooooooooooooooh ...

I never noticed that before!

>Seriously I love those humungous shoes

315/25-19s , oh yeah!!

BTW, get the part numbers off of the backside and I will see what the current cost is from Porsche.

 

The 993TT rears use the same pad as the 993 C2 fronts and the 91-92 964 turbo fronts 48 mm x 132mm. The 94Turbo and the 993TT fronts use a 58mm x 132 mm pad as does the GTS. They also use a 322 mm rotor.

The Medium S4's are the same caliper used in the rear of the 94 turbo they use a 44mm x 98 mm pad. The rear caliper from the 993TT is the same size as the front big red only uses a smaller pad.

 

Nice!!

By the way no one will notice the size of your rotors and brakes once those bad boys start turning. Just look at DR's avatar, nothin but a blur.

 

The rears are always going to look "light" on the braking side. Bigger wheels, smaller brakes...opposite in the front. This is what you get with a GTS...

 

Ouch. Maybe getting brake upgrades for cosmetic reasons isn't such a bad thing.

 

Well Curt, it's been very long .... it truly is nice to hear from you. How's the killer '86? Want to have a beer sometime?
Heinrich

 

Has anyone considered how to fit those new yellow breaks?

........................................................................ .........................
Brake Performance increases from the various upgrades is dependent upon rotor diameter, thickness, caliper piston size, and brake pad area. The latter may be used to make a rough estimation of brake performance.

930 Turbo Pads are almost twice as large as Carrera Pads.

928 S4-type Pads are approximately 45% larger than 930 Pads.

Big Red/Turbo 3.6/C2 RSR Pads are approximately 100% larger than the 930 Pads.

There are several variations of Brembo Calipers that use the 928 S4-type pad. These have different size pistons and mounting options. Both Red and Black versions are available. Other colors are available at extra cost

 

Hey Lex I can now respond authoritatively. Not a rub, not a scrape, not a grind, not a thud. Nothing. Just pure Porsche TORQUE and GRIP. I'm lovin' it ... no issues whatsoever with the 19's.
