Are rear brake dust shields for six and four the same?
Painted or zinc plated? Seem to recall fronts are plated and rears painted but trying to verify. Thanks |

Thanks Good that you asked this now - I posted the same basic question in my thread further down, but it probably got buried... AFAICT, from the parts manual, there are two different parts listed for the /4 and the /6.  The /6 part having a 901 (Porsche) part number, and the /4 part having a 914 part number. I don't know what the physical difference is, or which ones are actually on my car. Note that the /6 rotors are 4mm larger in diameter then the /4 rotors - that might be part of the difference. Or maybe the cutouts for the calipers are different... No idea. My backplates are painted in any case, but so are the calipers... which are /4 calipers being used with a /6 rotor. |
