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.
