I believe they were off the 968.

hmm according to carbotech 968 has 2 different front calipers sport and base.

My catalogue suggests that no Porsche parts are a direct perfect fit: RS2 pads, while being the same shape and very very nearly same size (width and height), are 2mm less thick.

This post lists the most similar Porsche models which had the closest match.

Big reds are same as the 968 CS I believe

[alg]

Big reds were the same as the turbo (964 at that time as 993 turbo had not arrived at RS2 launch ) & the uprated 968 M30 calipers. Often easier to look/ask for M30 when dealing with porsche independents. They are thicker but usually Ok if not fitting with brand new discs. Best IMHO are DS2500. If yousearch then there are several threads dealing with part numbers you need & suppliers

[lind4hl]

i have contacted carbotech about it, IMO carbotech is better than ds2500.. cheers for the heads up

Width: 131

Depth: 16

Porsche 968 M030 (etc) Front Pads
Width: 131
Height: 71
