Can you squeeze a 360mm disc in a 996T brake caliper?

Morning all, as per title really. I already have the typical 350mm 997 turbo disc upgrade on the front of my 996T, but the opportunity to pick up some 360mm discs has come up and I wonder if they'd fit squeeze in the standard calipers? :thumb:

I don't see why not if the caliper was spaced off by another 5mm. MC

Thanks, so I'll need new adapters for the caliper? Shouldn't be too difficult. Worse comes to worst I'll just have to pick up a larger set of calipers from an RS/PCCB car or aftermarket.

If they did fit without a spaced you would just have a 5mm ring around the edge of the disk which the pads didn't touch against. I'd be checking clearance to the wheels first though, I run 18" wheels with 350mm disks on my turbo and there isn't a lot of space. MC

These aftermarket calipers seem reasonable: https://www.design911.co.uk/fu/prod...2-Porsche-911-1974-89_2_2_2/?source=doofinder Technical specification: Pistons size (mm): 1.30/34/38 2.28/34/36 Piston area (cm3): 52.41 Weight (kg): 3 Pad thickness (mm): 18 Disc Diameter (mm): 355 - 405 Disc thickness (mm): 32 - 34 Hydraulic threads: M10x1-6H Mounting hole center (mm): 200 Mounting offset (mm): 55 Mounting hole diameter (mm): Ø 12.2 Caliper body: Monoblok Caliper material: AI A356 Material process: Cast

Will do, cheers. :thumb:

Or pickup a genuine set from me, worth the extra over replicas IMO. Sorry shameless plug :lol: :lol:

PM me your price, a couple of pics and details of the model they were taken from! :thumb:

Done :thumb:

Sure they aren't 362mm? They fit under 18's no problem. https://uber9s.com/product-category/996/ You can get bolts and spacers quite cheap off ebay.

Very interesting info, thanks. :thumb: They're standard fitment for the 996 GT RS Cup car I believe, am told 360mm, but their measurement may be off slightly. I'm looking at these calipers to go with them, do you know if they will bolt straight on? :thumb: http://911uk.com/viewtopic.php?t=145633 Supposedly from a 996 GT3 cup car. However, I read conflicting information about whether the Cup / RS calipers are a direct fit for a standard 996 Turbo? :?: Plan is to fit the 360/362mm discs on the front and move the current 350mm upgrade discs that are currently on the front to the back.

You can't run front disks on the rear, they don't have the inner surface for the handbrake. MC

Thanks, I thought the discs were different front to back, so will take that into consideration. :thumb:

GT3 discs are a different offset. I think you need a 2mm spacer between the hat and hub face. Either way, I don't think they will fit. I've been looking at discs for a while and I was gong to buy the uber9 setup, but got a full girodisc front and rear set quite cheap in the end, with a bit of luck. But I was keeping away from GT3 stuff because I read it wouldn't fit on a turbo.
