not that i know of. most of the "cross overs" that work i think are 993 turbos, but that is with the adapter from the early spindles to later calipers....

I've got the front calipers off of a 993 C4S on my '82 (with S4 spindles & control arms). The "hats" on the 993 rotors, however are taller - so, the offsets on the rotors are different. Calipers bolted right up (after swapping bleed screws and cross-over pipes end for end). Rotors not so much....

You can only run 993 non turbo rotors on the front of an OB that is still using the stock spindles. Otherwise I have heard of people running 350mm cayenne rotors on the front of race cars with big reds/ GTS brakes.

If you have converted to S4 spindles then you need to use 928 only brake rotors.

Don't get cross drilled.

As for brake pads, I'm a big fan of EBC products. Unless you plan to occasionally track the car I would consider Green Stuff over red. Their initial "bite" is much greater at the expense of possible increased fading after repeated stops....which is rare on the street.
