Pads for 968CS calipers...?

[JamesHarrold]

Need a little help with finding the right pads for my Calipers.

I have been told that the calipers I have are 968 club sport (black). Think they are the same as the RS2 calipers....but cant be sure.

The pads are getting a bit knackered so been trying to get hold of some ferodo ds2500's.
Spoke to Steve at Questmead...really nice guy and very helpful. Ordered ferodo FCP560H for the 968CS caliper and when they arrived they didnt fit....But noy by much, only difference was that the centre of the back plate where the locating spring clamp closes down on the pads was too short therefore didnt touch the pad at all. Tried all night but couldnt get it to work.

Does anyone have any ideas which pads would fit these calipers....?


Cheers
James

I know the calipers and they're not 968 cs. They're Porsche 911 993 calipers. If you order 968 cs pads, you must specify they are M030 option versions. Same pads also went in the 928 S4

Not the same as RS2 pads either as they use a thinner amount of material

Hi Mike....I see....! MO30 versions

Would make sense as the 968cs pads dont want to go in at all.
Will enquire about MO30 option pads with questmead.

Thanks

Can anyone who has/had these provide a part number for pads to fit these calipers....?
I (and half the friction specialists in the uk) am really struggling to find pads that fit..!

Cheers guys

Just draw around the old pad and fax it to Qestmead.
Make sure you haven't a load of corrosion between pad plate and caliper, thats what can stop even the correct pad fitting!

[JamesHarrold]

Yep...have done that....pics, diagrams emailed to them etc and still no joy. They even said they had spoken to textar and the part number from my pads didnt exist....!?

[sam80quattro]

[JamesHarrold]

Yep..they are for the 968cs MO30 option & 911 (993)

and last but by no means least...

The Ferrodo DS Performance code for this pad appears to be FDS560, and for DS2500s use FCP560H - even though the first post says this doesn't actually fit. Both available according to their website from Motorsport World (linky) (NCTS etc).

Although extraordinarily similar in shape, these really are different to RS2 pads which are 1mm less tall and 2mm less thick (but with the same width), if the dimensions in the catalogue are right.

Happy hunting.
