This is for an 87 non S.
TIA
I am surprised that nobody covered the really important facts earlier….
The key difference is the color…the Big Reds are red and the Big Blacks are black….

BTW - I am not a big fan of changing the proportioning valve – depending on the chassis set up it can make the car too rear biased and make it less stable under braking (early rear lock up)

Buy the calipers used, rotors from sunset and adapters from anywhere - you will save a lot of money.

I throw you a nice soft floater, right over the plate, and it takes you THIS long to take a swing?

I agree.... check out used, I was able to buy 996TT front calipers, rotors, Pagid yellows (1500 miles of use) then bought adapters from 95one and have a grand total of $760 invested ready to bolt on.
