Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that contain suggestions: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion
If they just did the calipers and not the the wheel carriers, and they aren't using spacers on the calipers, then the 305mm rotor may be the only ones that would fit.

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

Guys - have a 99 996 C2 new to me track car - trying to determine what brake setup this is........caliper numbers... 996 351 430 - these are 996TT fronts correct? 996 351 426 - standard C2 rears? 305mm rotors front and back...... Does PFC make a 08 or 11 that fits the 996 TT 4 piston front caliper? Not seeing a listing for one....... TIA for the help!

POST 2Original post

Pelican parts lists 426 as c2 front brakes. Perhaps the PO got larger front TT/C4S brakes and moved the original C2 brakes to the rear.

POST 3Original post

Are you sure about the rotor sizes? That part doesn't make any sense. The rest does. It's most likely they have upgraded to GT3 uprights. See if you can get a part # off of the wheel carrier. Also, are there any spacers between the calipers and the wheel carriers? As for the 4 pot TT calipers, just look up front brake pads for a 996TT and you will have plenty of choices. The won't work for rotors though. Rotors are based off of your wheel carrier.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ya that's what's throwing me.........pretty straightforward TT calipers to front - front calipers to rear - the odd rotor size is what was throwing me.........

POST 5Original post

If they just did the calipers and not the the wheel carriers, and they aren't using spacers on the calipers, then the 305mm rotor may be the only ones that would fit.

POST 6Original post

Jason: Performance Friction part number for the 996TT/997S front caliper is PF7818. They make this one in the 08 and 11 compound. Part number for stock 996 front caliper is PF0776 which we also have in stock in 08 and 11 compound. Kind regards,
