Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi all, I have found a deal locally for yellow 6 piston callipers that I intend to use with stell rotors. I did some searching around and couldn't find a definitive answer, can one mix and match the different coloured callipers? E.g. use steel rotors with yellows? The reason I am asking is that a multitude o sellers state, like FVD below, for the reds "only for steel brakes" which raised the question. I would hate to buy used yellows only to find out I have to use carbon rotors. Thanks! https://www.fvd.net/de-en/9963514329...-not-pccb.html

POST 2Original post

The yellow calipers are for carbon discs. If you want to run the yellow calipers, you need to run carbon to steel conversion discs.

Or a bracket adapter. 997.2 GT3 calipers and 380mm rotors.

Hey there, I have found https://rennlist.com/forums/996-gt2-...onversion.html That one can simply plug the following; "Some common selections, Front: 996Cup fronts 996GT3 fronts Cayenne 350mm fronts 997.1GT3 350mm fronts Rear: 997TT rears 997GT3rears 997Cup Panamera Turbo 350mm rear" I would love to simply use an adapter, but it's illegal for the street.

The adapter is for bolting the caliper to the C2 carrier. If you cannot use bracket adapter then as is said above, you'll need to run carriers with the right bolt spacing for the calipers you choose. Thats great info on the PCCB to steel conversion discs.

Vect, given your constraints in Austria, just get yourself a Brembo GT 4 piston kit. 355 F 345 R. New or used. More brakes than you can possibly use on the track and it fits. You do not need to change your master cylinder nor adjust brake bias. Same can be said for a similar kit from Stoptech and Alcon. You will loose a boatload of unsprung weight. Sure it will cost you, but it will last forever. You can sell your Oem brakes to recoup some of the costs.
