Originally posted by Error404 View PostThere are adapters out there for 18Zs. IMHO they are not a good caliper choice as the adapter is a compromised design to fit the B3/B4 and the calipers weigh a ton. Add the weight of large single piece discs and 18" wheels you'll need to fit them you have a huge increase on unspruing mass. IMHO the Porsche 996/996 4 pot and 6 pot calipers are a far better choice.
People fit 18z and 17z mostly because they look big and impressive and they are cheap.

No figures to hand but the calipers are not too heavy. But the pads are huge so add a lot of weight, then when you factor in an adaptor all adds up.
I have them on my car at the moment but may (will) look to change them for something lighter in the future once I have the rest of the car sorted out.

Jase.
