    The issue is not the brake manufacturer, its knowing the interchange.

    For instance, here is the carbotech application guide:



    see RS2 anywhere in there? right..

        not lazy by any means. I've spent hours on this and came up with some potential porsche pads that might cross. Looking at the part numbers you just posted the CT447 appears to be a Porsche GTS front application which confirms my earlier research.

          EBC pads are cheaper in the US than in the UK. You can download a comprehensive application list from their website. I'd go with yellowstuff pads, I have the 996 ones and they also do standard rears as well.

            Marc,

            The RS2 came standard with 314mm rotor or the car could have the upgraded brakes which came with the 322mm rotor.

            That being said, if you have the 314mm rotor then any pad for the front of a standard non-turbo Porsche 993 is what you need. It the car has the 322mm rotor then any pad for the 993 twin turbo will be what you will need.

            My project has caused me to become the king of interchange on the RS2, so don't hesitate to send me a message when you run up on these type if questions.

              RS2's came with 304mm standard and then the 322mm were big red options

                  I may have goofed buying GTS pads. I need something that works with the big reds (322mm rotors), I'll have to check if what I bought crosses with the 993 calipers..

                    Not more to say to be honest.....
                    This what was asked at first and Saltinot put it down smooth and simple.
                    the "word" document mentioned by a4kquattro with rotors and parts compatibility it's in the first post of the link I posted firstly........
                    please a4kquattro
                    read that attachment and the thread..... it's everything in there.

                      Yes, Tom (Saltino) did clear it up. I read the word document many times. it *does not* talk about brake pad interchange caliper to caliper. Not sure why people are hammering on me about that

                          WHy Ferrari pad? Lots of manufacturers use the same caliper/pad.
                          Anyone know the part number for these pads or an SBS website?
