Because I need more GM parts...C6 Z06 Brakes
#46
Would be a waste of those 6-pots to put them on 330mm rotors. Their curvature and bridge design are for a 350-360mm rotor. If someone sends me a Z06 caliper and a Cayenne 350mm rotor I'll mock them up on 87 NA spindles (76mm vs 94mm Turbo ears)

hopefully I'll have a drawing your way this weekend. I need to make some minor adjustments to the adapter to make sure the caliper is centered over the rotor.
Hell I can send you over my caliper when I'm done as well. I'll prob get a set in better condition when I'm done mocking this all up.

It's that new non-M030 spindles are about $775 each. With tax/shipping/BS, it's probably gonna be closer to $2k by the time they are in my hands.
And I won't put used 25 year old steering knuckles on my race car (and yes... I bought both my M030 knuckles new from Porsche in 2007).
So for that price... the conversion is not price effective for me. It's got to use a M030 knuckle.

*** Idea ***
Not to hijack the thread....
But has anybody contemplated having custom knuckles made? I just sent off a price quote request to china.
1. Material: FCD450-700
2. Molding method: Molding line.
3. Full dimension inspect
I can use a stock M030 knuckle as a sample... have the spindle "dropped", and have the steering arm "shortened", and have the caliper brackets setup for a 996 GT3 caliper (which I get for about $600 used).
That would fix a lot of issues....
Anybody up for a set?
:-)

OK.... I just put a rear factory 17" Cup 2 wheel with a 3/8" spacer (which I run currently) on the front of one of the Speed Gallery race cars that had a 996GT3 rotor and 996GT3 caliper.
Guess what? IT CLEARED with almost 1/4" to spare.
What is the offset of a 996GT3 rotor compared to that of a 965 (C2 turbo) rotor? Anybody??????

XSChop will prob be manufacturing it so you can bug him, I'm sure he'll be very good on pricing. I can share the design if need be, but if you dont have a CNC readily available, its not worth much.
