The size difference was so striking that I had to post a pic ...
On the left is a 914 front caliper, in the middle a 911SC front caliper and on the right a 944 Turbo front caliper. The 944 caliper can be modified to fit 911 struts. Despite its larger size, the 944 caliper seems to weigh significantly less than the 911 A caliper. I guess an S caliper may be lighter. Other advantage of the 944 caliper is that it is a 4 piston design. Attached image(s) |

QUOTE(JOHNMAN @ Dec 17 2004, 09:15 PM) What is the size of the rotors? 944 turbo rotor measures 298x28 and 930 rotor 304x32. 911SC front rotors measure 282x20. The 944 turbo and 930 brake pads are the same. I tried to measure/estimate the brake surface area as good as I could (pads are not square). 944T/930 brake pad surface is slightly less than 7 sq in. 911SC pad surface is about 5.5 sq in. |
