I can't comment on the OP's information, but if you are interested in brake bias I made some charts for various combinations of front and rear brake setups here : https://rennlist.com/forums/964-foru...-needed-2.html

LOL - devil in the details. 85Nm it is, time for me to stop worrying and just set the torque wrench

Ive been running this brake set up for over a year, no need to change master cylinder.
Works fine.

So, when I approached Dan Jacobs to see what he recommended I do to get rid of the track day heat problem with my stock calipers (Castrol SRF solved most of the boiling issues) and my wish to upgrade to Big Reds he recommended I try 993 calipers for the front and removing the pro portioning valve. Dan told me this was a very common solution for track cars and that it works very well on the 964. He said it would be perfectly fine to keep the 964 4-pot rear calipers and that this would allow me to skip updating the master cylinder. He did not claim this type of upgrade is better than big reds or a full 993 system but that I would be happy with this set up.

Ok - Rennline has confirmed that their adapters are designed to use the standard torque numbers - 85Nm.
