IIRC the rear 993 brakes are the same as the rear RS2 brakes...these use a
299*25mm rotor and if_they_are_the_same_caliper, you can use them directly
on your car without any bracket as they use the same bolt pattern as a
front type 44 caliper (IIRC 95mm)...as for the rotors, you can use the G60
rotor (276*25mm) and have 6mm of OD machined off to make them fit the
caliper...that's because of Porsche's rotor's desing that doesn't allow the
pad to bite the last 5mm near the rotor "hat"...
This is what I'll be using on my coupe quattro, along with Audi 80 type 89
front struts (they do have the 95mm blot pattern for the caliper carrier),
except that I'll use Audi 90q20v front rotors (276*25mm but with 4*108 bolt
pattern)

HTH,
