Yep - came with the car when i bought it.

I then fitted the 996's.

Might be worth mentioning that the calipers are obviously not 996. Look like Brembo Gt series. Better than the hassle of sorting it all out after the auction.

Im not sure what exactley they are - i found part numbers on them, interestingly they were the same on both, they were fitted along with 304mm discs.

Will these fit inside standard alloys?

**Acidburn** · 17 February 2009, 23:00

I am not sure if that they will fit inside standard wheels, maybe sonic will know about this. I only purchased them for on my avant but decided to go a different route with that project.

**Acidburn** · 17 February 2009, 23:08

Well i've put the part no's up that was on the pictures sonic sent me of the callipers (i'm currently not at mine so can't check them myself) and was quite surprised by how many people are watching them.

hi, can you get new pads and parts easy enough for these calipers ?

**Acidburn** · 18 February 2009, 22:45

Should be able to, i've not looked into it but most companies should be able to supply parts for them.

Not sure if sonic ever purchased any when he was running them or quattrodan when he owned the car?

Yes. They ran with a 304mm disc when i had them and were behind stock 16" 6-spoke avus alloys with room to spare.

I imagine so but i never did, i replaced them with 996's... infact i never replaced my 996 pads either, i replaced the whole setup again

I was wondering if there was a reason this was not offered up for sale here first...? Are the 996's much better?
Cheers,

Chris

it was offered up here first but i'd already got a buyer for them who has since not come up with the money

**LHD_Kid** · 21 February 2009, 21:19

burger......!

That'll teach me to stay off the forum for a while, and then not notice the "for sale" threads did not show up on the main page...!

Good luck with the sale......

Chris
