[s-cars] Anyone ever use 944 Turbo calipers on an S6?

[Richard Tanimura]

I believe the standard rotors for the Porsche S4 calipers were 304 x 32
which are the rotors from the 3.3 l turbo. I thought it was this size that
was used on the RS2. Could be wrong since I have never measured the RS2
rotors.

Getting back to the 951 calipers, I think they would make a nice moderate
upgrade. I don't track my car and the 951 calipers are a nice trade off.
Smaller, lighter calipers than the S4, less rotating mass in the rotors 298
x 30, less unsprung mass. Not as good as the Porsche S4 but better than the
G60 and they fit my 16"s. As noted, the RS2 adapters would fit the mounting
holes of both the Porshce S4 and the 951 calipers, but since the 951 takes a
slightly thinner rotor, the problem might be offset in the axial direction.

I don't know- the RS2 used both 314x30 and 322x32 rotors, right,
depending on the option? I don't know if the placement would put the
caliper in the right place even if the bolt spacing was the same.

My suggestion, if you decide to do this, is to go with
the 944 Turbo S (aka '89 944 Turbo aka 951S) calipers,
which are the same as the 928S4 calipers. T




I think these work with the rs2 brackets, ask Igor ?
