944 race brake pad suggestions
#16
This is what I believe to be correct for the 924/944 applications
82-89 944, 944S non turbo - 0251.97.18.44 Front and 0252.97.18.44 Rear
85-89 924 - 0443.97.18.44 Front and 0252.97.18.44 Rear
78-82 924 turbo - 0443.97.18.44 Front and 0252.97.18.44 Rear
Please let me know if this differs from what you guys have seen.
Currently these are special order parts, but last I checked OG Racing does have inventory available, CDOC is not a distributor for Performance Friction product.

Phil, thanks for the posts, and those are correct with a couple of exceptions, if you'd like to note (to correct your catalog): these pads will fit any 924 (NA, Turbo, or S), any year, with disc/disc brakes aka option M471, same as early 944 brakes. 79-80 Turbos did not come standard with M471, it was an option, but standard on 81-82. It was likely an option on the 924NA from '79-onward, and can be retrofitted to earlier cars. So these are the same as used on all my cars.
Another amusing note - the rear pad listed above will fit the front of the 924's that have the disk/drum brakes, as it's the same caliper; the only thing they might have a problem with would be pad thickness (these might be thinner than original, IIRC). Obviously, for the rear, you'd be needing a shoe re-line...
