    314mm A8 discs and 996 front calipers on SEAT brackets with rs2 hardlines.
    Pm with your location for fitting if you want

            so, are You sure that 993 biturbo will not fit ?
            they are RED and they are BIG and probably very good in their work

              993 Callipers will fit. But the bleed screws and crossover pipe will need to be swapped, as the 993s are leading and the 996s are trailing.

                  People on here have had gouging of their calipers fitting large brakes under 16" Avus alloys.
                  Yes they physically fit, do you want to risk it with a pair of £500 calipers?
                  If you want big brakes, fit big wheels.

                          Porsche monoblocks are far more superior in durability than the rs2 style calipers.
                          Though RS2 big reds offer very good braking performance when every bit and piece is clean and no mud. I have the Boxter S / 996 monoblocks with 314x30 and performance is good enough. If track performance is the target then go to 17" and 18" with BIG rotors.

                            Porsche monoblocks come in different sizes
                            Boxster - Micro
                            996 - Standard
                            GT3 4 piston - Large
                            GT3 6 Piston - The Daddys
