which porsche monoblocks?

[Erikb]

Hey all,

I am looking for porsche 996 front brakes, monoblocks, I found a website on intenet which sells used ones, there are a few different models from which I can choose :

- 996 351 429 10 caliper porsche Turbo, 4S Left
- 996 351 430 10 caliper porsche Turbo, 4S Right

- 996 351 425 21 caliper porsche C4, Left
- 996 351 425 22 caliper porsche C4, Right

- 996 351 425 01 caliper porsche, left
- 996 351 426 01 caliper porsche, right

Does someone know the difference between these. Are the turbo/4S ones 6 pots?

thanks again,

Erik

PM BRY he was very helpful to me and could probably get u some cheaper than the ones u have seen.

Quoted from another thread, these are the ones I have.

"the new 996s use a few calipers.

The ones we're on about here are p/n ......

996.351.425.11 Left Front
996.351.426.11 Right Front (as far as I know the last 2 digits refer to the colour)

and are used on current model carrera 4 and carrera 2"

ok thanks stevie yid, I will PM him.

The prices which I can get varies from 415 till 560 euro(turbo) for two pieces(L+R). dont know If this is expensive. Besides that it is a company, I can get an invoice and I think I can get the VAT back.

[Erikb]

Hmm, but what will be the difference between second pair and the third? Or did they maybe do an upgrade and is the C4 a newer model?

[Erikb]

What I found out that the first 3 digits are for the porsch model(996), the second three digits for front (351) or back (352), the other ones are for left and right and different models(turbo etc.).

- 996 351 429 10 caliper porsche Turbo, 4S Left
- 996 351 430 10 caliper porsche Turbo, 4S Right

I think these are the large 4-pots, known as the GT3s. And the last two sets are the same, but with different revision codes.

Bry (Mr Brake Calliper) should know.

BTW. I'm sure the 996 351 429/430 callipers have different carrier bolt spacings (150mm) to the RS2 or Seat carriers (130mm).

[Erikb]

But I thought GT3 where 6 pots for the front side and 4 for the back side.

But I cant find out what the different is between these

- 996 351 425 21 caliper porsche C4, Left
- 996 351 425 22 caliper porsche C4, Right

- 996 351 425 01 caliper porsche, left
- 996 351 426 01 caliper porsche, right

[4WheelDrifter]

I thought the GT2s were 6-pots.

[Erikb]

Yep I ams sure gt2 are 6 pots, but also thought gt3 where 6 pots on the front side

[4WheelDrifter]

I think only the late GT3s had the 6-pot callipers like the GT2. The P/Ns you have are for the large 4-pots.

[martinjs]

6-pots were an option on the GT3, but standard on the GT2.

Here's a good link, no part numbers though

- 996 351 425 01 caliper porsche, left
- 996 351 426 01 caliper porsche, right

I think maybe just a colour difference, silver on the C4 for instance.

[Erikb]

Thanks for all reactions!,

Its is hard to find out where the last digits are for, sometimes it could be for the colour other time I think it is for left and right. I send the company an email if they can explain the difference. I dont think it will be wise to go for the turbo ones, I think I just have to made a selection between the C4 ones and the normal ones.
