[s-cars] Brake Upgrade Help Needed.

[Linus Toy]

The "standard" 993 caliper looks very simliar to the "Big Black" caliper and
was used on other cars, such as (I believe) the 944 turbo (951)...but it is
designed for a 304mm diameter rotor, and not the 323mm rotor.  In fact, on the
original RS2, the rotors were 304mm, not 323...the change in rotor size was
accomodated solely by the use of the big red caliper, which sits a bit farther
off the same RS2 bracket; similarly, a 993 can be easily upgraded to 993tt Big
Reds by simply substitutin rotor and calipers.  Confirm your p/n with someone
who has done the Big Black approach (remember you have to reverse X-over pipe
and bleeder screws) as a substitute for the Big Red calipers.  (as I did Big
Reds, the p/n's I have won't help).
