Ah shucks you beat me to it.

ps - the magnet won't stick to the caliper if you heat it above about 1,450 degrees F, so be sure to use the magnet test at lower temps than that. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

Damn, here I've been thinking the A and M calipers were cast iron and not steel. So what do I know. Anyway, the first 911 turbo aka 930 also used the S calipers.
My buddy who has the 914, 935 and GT1 said the S doesn't flex worth noticing, but the floor in front of the pedal cluster does, so brace the master cylinder. With his 230 HP he does not find anything bigger than the S caliper is really beneficial, and he has tried several of his bigger sets.

I'll bet you know the carbon count is anywhere from .5% to 2.5% more in cast iron... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

(otherwise they're both the same iron with carbon as the primary alloying material) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/051103-stupid4.gif) What were you stupid guys thinking?!?!?! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/av-943.gif)

Sorry... I'm bored.

I agree with a couple things in this here thread. Aaron and Pete are spot on with the M-Caliper (me thinks). Not much more you need with most cars. Dave's bud proves my theory on the S-Calipers as well. That's what's on my cars.

holy crap slits, ...

you just gave me a crash course in what these brakes differences really are.

i always wondered if there was any BIG differences.. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

not just bolt spacing but swept area... 996's... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif)
