I picked up some 944 turbo calipers at the swap meet at the Ventura show, I was told that with slight adjustment of the mounting holes they will fit on my 911 front end. They are aluminum black and say "PORSCHE" in raised lettering and it says BREMBO on the back , they are 4 pistons the top pistons are slightly smaller than the bottom ones . They said it was origionaly from a 89 944 Turbo. Have any of you guys seen this done ? Would it work with my 15inch rims ?

I have a set (both front and rear) on my 914.
It was not easy to do on the rear. I had to cut off the mounting tabs for the calipers and weld on new ones with the proper bolt pattern for the 944 calipers. I would not do it again. Boxster brakes are a bolt on and they work even better. |

The holes have to be drilled slightly offset, both closer together and inward. I don't know the exact measurements. I had Wes Hildreth do it. He has done a bunch of them. |
