-All 996 brakes are radial mounted, do they all use the same bolt spacing for that?

Base 996 calipers can be uprated to 350mm rotors too using spacers on the caliper.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'm looking at using some 996 brakes on my other car, and I have a few questions if anyone can answer. -All 996 brakes are radial mounted, do they all use the same bolt spacing for that? I heard the only difference is a spacer to push the caliper out farther for the Turbo and GT3? -986S, 996 C2 & C4 share one brake setup, the 996 C4S and Turbo share another, and the 996 GT3 and GT2 share one (plus having the PCCM rotor and pad setup) -Does the offset of the rotor change at all? -Does the wheel clearance get worse with the two bigger brake setups?

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Update to my own post: 986S and base 996 (C2 and C4) use one caliper type, and they have a separate bolt pattern than the C4S/Turbo calipers. GT3 calipers exchange with C4S/Turbo type, but require being spaced way out. Base 996 calipers can be uprated to 350mm rotors too using spacers on the caliper.

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