Hello Folks, I'm trying to find out the diameter of the rear brake pad damping shims for a MY2000 996 3.4 carrera 2, would it be 28mm or 30mm? Thanks in advance.

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.

I think you'll find you need two of each per caliper.
POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
Yes Richard one for each pad, thanks - don't suppose you'd know the correct diameter size? Regards.
POST 4Original post
I think you misunderstand me - I wasn't that clear. There are 4 pistons per caliper. One pair of pistons is larger than the other pair. You need 2 x 28mm and 2 x 30mm dampening pads per caliper,

Oh, I see! Apologies Richard, I misunderstood your reply. Many thanks for the information.

Well that is news, and different to the 944t which has a plate with two spring clips that fit into the recesses of the pistons then stick to the pad
