Porsche brake dimensions

[Takid455]

lokking for rotors sizes and distance between caliper attachment bolts for a porsche 996 or newer. cna anybody shed some light on this. are they close to those of a C5/6 vette?

I don't know the dimension off hand, but the Porsche 996 use radial mount calipers versus the C5/C6 axial mount design of the pad abutment brackets and similarly the C6 Z06 M-series calipers from PBR? Apples or oranges unless I'm missing something.

[Takid455]

yes, the 996 brakes are mono block like the Z06. If I have to make a bracket, I dont mind.

[Apogee]

Just because both of the calipers are "mono-block" doesn't make them the same...or even very similar to each other. The Porsche 996 caliper doesn't have mounting "ears" like the C6 Z06 calipers have or like the C5/C6 pad abutment brackets have (128mm center to center). The Porsche 996 calipers are radial mount, meaning that the caliper is located by radial studs, not axially oriented fasteners.

I assumed that you were going to make a bracket, however the difference in mounting widths won't matter since you'll be making it custom for your application.

if you want Porsche calipers with "ears" you can do as I did and use C ayenne calipers. they are six pistons and made by Brembo.

Try calling these guys: http://www.electro-dynamics.com/
They make parts to install porche rotors on C4 vettes, maybe they have something for C5/6's also. They might be able to answer all your questions.

here ya go man

one more

[Takid455]

what diameter rotors are you running?

[Tiger]

they are 360mm, should be something like 14.25" if I remember right

[TonyL]

360 millimeters = 14.1732283 inches

here ya go man

Do you happen to know the piston sizes for that caliper?
