So on the AP site they have a 14" rotor that is 356mm. Isn't that about the size you need for your 6 pots?

Size might be OK. I am just interested of all possible choices, Would be nice to see what down under rotors might be available for the right price

don't look to australia for rotors DBA and PBR make about 3 different hat mounted rotors around the 12 and 13" size NASCAR is the place to look but there are too many mounting sizes
those US mail order race shops have plenty of goof rotors AP brembo willwood etc ..

Is there a way to visually distinguish between the left two calipers? I certainly can't. Are 993 standard calipers left or middle size?

From top picture I have found the only measurable difference between left two, but 993 caliper seems to be in between in this measurement.. Is 993 left one or the third option of these calipers?

Sorry for multiple posts, my editing privilege is restricted. Being politically correct the balkan way will do that to you.

993 C2 calipers are the same as 951 S/M030, "medium blacks". The silver flaky ones on your pictures do not look like big blacks to me.

What's the cheapest option to get real big ones? Any other cars came with them?

Big Blacks are the same as Big Reds, with one minor change: the orientation of bleeders and pistons is geared towards a trailing caliper position, as found on the 944 and 928. You can use Big Reds, but you need to change the orientation of cross pipe and bleeders.

Big Blacks came on the early to mid 90's 928GTS. I found a 'lister with a set for sale earlier in the year, they're off to PMB for restoration and color change as we speak. I think the availability of the 911 variant is greater, but add the 928 to your search as well.

At this point I'd buy stock 951S front calipers too, but it seems all these old brembos became holy grail of ebay. nothing under about 700€.

When the value of 30 year old cars goes up, it's the same for 30 year old parts.
