OK Guys, I ended up ordering PFC97's from Frozen Rotors, buying 4-pot calipers off Oscar on Rennlist here and also buying RS Sways from Kavo here on the 'List.
Wondering will the original rotors work with the new calipers?
I'll be switching to SS-lines, blue fluid, and ordering that damn proportioning valve asap. Hope I can get it before Jan 5th... If not I may have to just run with PFC97's up front and new fluid.

Brakes are for ninnies!!! (me)
Called Sunset Porsche and ordered the proportioning valve for 60$ (Pelican wanted 100$) and a heater duct 30$ (Pelican wanted 45$). Screw Pelican!!! What a rip off!

Presuming that these 4 pot calipers are off a C4, late C2 or similar Porsche caliper (e.g. 928S4, 968, 993C4 or 944 turbo), then yes they can be used with standard 964 rear rotors.

Thanks much! Yes they are off a C4 I believe. It's such a shame that Porsche didn't put them on the early C2's from the factory. This upgrade ended up costing me $300 for calipers, $60 for the proportioning valve and about 250$ for pads... all in good fun tho.

One last suggestion, Donovan: Make sure to bed in the pads before you head out to the track. Follow the manufacturer's instructions as closely as possible.
