Pad damper part numbers
I've just installed new dampers as part of caliber refurb.
The 28/30mm ones for my MY91 rear caliber were listed by my supplier Euro Car Parts as suitable for my car. Euro Car Parts are usually very accurate in parts listed for particular cars. They even show different parts for the pre-89 S4s that had slightly different piston/caliper design.
They are actually in Hamburg-Technic packaging, and carry part numbers 99635208602 (28mm) and 99635208600 (30mm). Looking them up in PET, they are used on various Boxsters, Caymans and 997. The original 928 parts in PET are 96435209601 and 96435209600.
They fit very well, pushing into the piston with a nice snap. Actually from memory they were easier to install than dampers I've installed in past with the original part number that were fiddly to get the spider at rear of adhesive pad to fit into piston. These 996 number ones are more tapered, so just pushed in with no adjustment necessary.
So it seems there are alternative parts available from very modern Porsches using similar Brembos. PET doesn't list 928 under the "usage" option for these dampers though. I wonder why they don't use the new ones as superseding the old?
I expect Roger will know!
