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.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

do 996 turbo brakes bolt up to 99 996 or do you need other parts other than calipers and rotors, pads, Do you need spindels?

POST 2Original post

Hi Ken: Yessir, you'll need the Turbo front hub carriers with wheel bearings.

POST 3Original post

An easier and less hassle way to fit the 996tt calipers would be to use the (old) GT3 carriers. If you use the turbo hubs you'll need to buy front axles and have some machining done to accomodate FWD hubs. Also you'll have to address the turbo struts and springs which are different. Much easier to use the GT3 hubs.

POST 4Original post

"An easier and less hassle way to fit the 996tt calipers would be to use the (old) GT3 carriers." GT3 hubs are quite expensive. The entire brake kit goes for appx $4500. I'd sell mine (5k miles) on a trade for stock and about $2300 (ie: $2k for the brakes - rotors, calipers, pads, carriers, etc) and $300k to put the replacements on) since I'm putting the car back to stock in anticipation of the TT cab.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
