RS uprights sitting around or the standard run of the mill 993s?

Actually both, but someday I will install the Evo uprights. I think I have three sets of front uprights, standard iteration.

Even stock 993 uprights will be a big improvement on a 964
they are lighter
no more caliper adapters
you can use either 993 or 993RS/tt calipers & rotors either of which is a huge improvement over stock 964 for tracked cars

I have a turbo so no adapters. EVO or bust.

Sorry to get off topic.

John,

I didnt read the rest of the responses. Not sure if anyone already said this.. but my advice is have a machine shop tap you new threads(next size bigger) for the mounting side. and maybe a little rebore on the caliper side to take that new bolt size. If the threads are not severly damage(just cross threaded), the machine shop could just retap the threads for you.

Unless of course the you're just changing the wheel carrier, which is still the best route.

John,
Had this happen on my race car and I did the timeserts at the track. Never had any issues with it after that and I paid special attention after/before/during every track event.
