Are 993 Brakes a popular upgrade?
We are trying to determine who the target market is for stock 993 brakes and rotors after just doing a big red TT upgrade...
...exept the calipers are painted yellow with black porsche lettering
...is this something 964 owners would be interested in or do I look at the 944 crowd instead?
..thanks in advance everyone!

You're saying you just upgraded your 993 to Big Reds, you want to sell your stock 993 brakes, and are asking if anyone is interested? Or are you looking to package a 993 brake upgrade package that could generally be sold to 964 owners?
Specifically, the calipers can be fitted to 964's, however, the rotors are the wrong offset. 964 owners installing 993 brakes need to use, in front, either the 928 S4 (86-91) rotor or the pricey 968 M030 rotor. Rear 964 rotor is retained.

o.k. so what you are saying is that for a 964 owner, we could only sell the calipers and would have to sell the rotors to a 993 owner who might be interested... right?
