All of the Turbo S and 89+ Turbos had the M030 package as standard, did they not?

Only 89 Turbo had M030 as a standard. 90 & 91 it was an option (suspension parts & LSD) Later models used same bigger brakes as 88 951 S and 89 turbo had.

Monoblock design calipers are stiffer than the old 2-piece design so performance is also better with the new style calipers.

I believe they would require an adapter and a different rotor! But I could be wrong... Oh why do they F-up paying contractors at the MOST in-opportune times??????

Elliot, look at this thread below. Start with post #17 and go forward; tons and tons of good info. Olli contributed a lot to the discussion. And Olli, if you want, post the same pics, yet again.

Thanks for the info. I'll look into it as an option. It's fairly convenient to just call LR and pick up a kit, which is why I asked about the BR and BB's. I'll do some more homework on the other option, but it's not a race car so
I'm certain that the BB's would be more than I need.
