If you want, I do have a set of 951S (M030) calipers that I don't need any longer. I imagine shipping would be a bit prohibitive though.

If you do make sure to purchase the calipers with the dust boots not the scraper rings. It's virtually impossible to get the scraper stuff anymore. I tried and got lucky enough to get a few BREMBO scrapers and finished out the rest of the calipers with Centric ones. Centric ones do not fit properly and I had to use Loctite bearing retainer on them. If you do get the scraper ones and want to restore them DO NOT remove the scrapers or the seals. Unless you have about $1600 can and can somehow find the parts.

Calipers with scraper rings have a steel insert that's visible on the top of the dust cap. All 1989 944 Turbos should have calipers with "dust cap" seals instead of "scraper rings."

Your wallet gets much lighter with scraper seals. But the parts for the dust boot ones aint cheap either. About 1/2 price.

Here is the late seals (Dust Boot Type 1989 +)
Less $$$$ stuff

Early seals (scraper 1988)
More $$$ stuff

These are 89 rears from my turboS, I was an idiot and sold front TS calipers thinking I'll find BR/BB's easy which turned out not to be the case.

So these are dust boot type?

They are off an '89 with 33,000 miles.

So is this the thing? I planned to use stock rear turbo S calipers? What are rear big reds pistons diameter? They dont look bigger than on rear turbo S calipers to me..
