Bringing this up!

Hi!

Do you still sell these caliper brackets?
I just got hold of a 996 pair to my front and after reading this it may seem that the regualr rs2 carrier would'n fit.
Is also the a8 disc 324mmx30 the only one tried out? would have been cool to atleast have 330mmx30 or even bigger discs without modification to the calipper.

AND;

do you make brackets to the rear? (as i also got hold of a rs2 calipper pair, and going for separate handbrakesolution).

thanks,

Hi AndersS2,

Thanks for your interest in the caliper brackets. The A8 disc (324mmx30mm) is the only one tried out at the moment - it handled all the testing we threw at it during a track day, hence we haven't tried any others. The bracket/caliper mounting geometry is designed for use with these disks and the GT3 calipers only. We don't do the rear brackets but I can still get hold of the front ones for you should you need a pair. They were £240 for the pair but I will do them for £230 plus delivery to you in Norway. What do you think?

We can provide them in plain mild steel finish (for you to paint) or in black or red painted finish - let me know if you are interested and I will send you more details. They really are strong and do the job very well! You will really be able to stop over and over again without brake fade with this conversion.

Have fun!

I've got the option to purchase some Mk1 GT3 big reds. Is there anyone that makes a custom bracket to help fit these to my standard brake'd RS2??

I was thinking of using the 965 Turbo disc 332x32 which I understand have the correct 45mm offset to bolt straight up? 965-351-045-00 and 965-351-0465-00

Cheers

The GT3 pads (it looks like the calipers on the pics are early 4-pots) - how do they match the disc? I remember seeing pics of 996 calipers that did not fully cover the disc but as these pads are deeper maybe they should cover the whole surface? Got any pics?
