Just curious what people have used.
I picked up a set of Porsche 996 callipers which are Brembo Mono-block callipers however I seem to have run into a stumbling block when it comes to fitting a disc in them. They use a 61mm deep pad on the front, consequently I have been unable to find a 2 piece rotor that takes a pad of this depth that is small enough in diameter.
Ie looking for some discs ~11.75” / 300mm OD
Inner diameter of swept area 7” / 178mm ID
Bolt face 6.3” / 160mm PCD ?
Either that or find an alternative calliper?
I see that the Superformance uses something very similar to the Billet Narrow Superlight 4 calliper.This has a pad depth of 1.77” / 45mm. (someone posted a photo and part of the part number was visible on the calliper, so I may be wrong here)
Do they use the same calliper front and rear? The Porsche Brembo set up uses different sized pistons front and rear however the rear pads are smaller so this may equal it out some more.I can see some more time crunching numbers coming my way.
