C4S, 4GTS and Turbo shares the same lines
The stock brake line brackets looks to be reused from 997 Carreras according to the chart.

Thanks Fatsix! Yes I've referenced this chart - I'm compiling a full build list and will cross post it to my build thread as well - lots of great information on the forum I'm just putting what I need in one place. The last piece of the puzzle is the shims/dampers.

Yeah i discovered the hard way

I'd also note that the front brake pad wear sensors are different part numbers for the 6-pot (longer) versus 4-pot.

Did you order wear sensors made for GT3 or Turbo 6 pot calipers? Do you have the part numbers for reference?

I've disabled my wear sensors

Ok everything ordered - I decided to stick with Sebros! Little extra weight but my wheels compensate enough for that and for my purposes for now.

Thanks everyone for your wisdom and advice as always - I'll post up my progress in my build thread once everything arrives.

Here's the part for the GT3 - which is what I would I think would suffice:

I retro-fit PCCB calipers (which i believe are similar to iron Turbo/GT3). Wear sensors:

Howdy! If you're asking about my post, I retro-fit 997.1 PCCB to 997.2, but they're basically the same between both cars

Random question not related to the OP but since this is an active thread with brake discussion I thought I would ask.

2008 C4 - I'm swapping in 4S "red" calipers including front uprights with 350mm Turbo discs front and rear.
I'm not clear if I should change out the M/C. Part numbers are different in the book but Pelican parts lists the same M/C for C4 and C4S and early Turbo.
Current plan is to run what I have and if the pedal is soft then upgrade but would sure prefer to do it all at once, but for the extra effort and money I'm willing to try mine first unless told differently.

Your C4 should have the larger volume MC already. The C2 has the smaller one.

This might be crazy but I have been wondering if there are 380mm front rotors that will have the correct offset for the 6 pots with spacers. That would solve the rearward bias issue with the Turbo/ GT3 rear calipers. Does anyone know if this exist?

see this thread: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...1-s-non-s.html

I also think @MJSpeed has helped out with adapters from what i’ve read.

More for 380mm calipers but there might be some answers in there

Bringing this thread back quick to ask:

Can anyone confirm which caliper bolt size to get to run 350mm on my rear? I'd like to get the Tarett Engineering stud kit, but just need to confirm that I'll be running BCSK-95s with spacers:

for my pccb conversion with 350mm, it’s an 85mm bolt, part 99906704709
