Default RS v Turbo front brake discs

Can anyone tell me if these are interchangable - they have different part numbers and the turbo ones are heavier and have bolts on them. My tech says they ARE and offer a useful weight saving ?

Toby,

They are the same caliper, even the 993 RSR and 993 GT2 use this caliper. Porsche lists the Turbo and RS caliper with the same part number, as well as the GT2 factory parts manual. 993.351.456.10 and 993.351.426.10. Is he talking about the endurance calipers that look similar but are designed for the 380mm brakes?

The rears ARE different, but interchangable.

Geoffrey - I thought TB was asking about disks a/k/a rotors and you replied with calipers. Or is there only one rotor that goes with a given caliper?
