Hello everybody!

I figured out that I want to install the 944T front brakes on the rear with 944T rotors as well. Looking on Lanner's website i found out that you can bolt the calipers directly to the early 944 (non turbo) rear backing plate, which bolts up directly to the T1's trailing arm. What else do I need :confused: ? I know I will need a hub to attach the rotor onto, but does that mean that I will need to change the stub axel and cv joints too?

Thanks for the replies in advance

I think you will need a 28mm rotor for a front turbo caliper, not sure if rear discs exist on any model 28mm thick. I think the closest you will get is a 930 rear disc which is 30mm. Someone correct me if I'm wrong! I definitely wouldn't use a thinner than stock disc for the caliper!

I was checking on vdubcustoms.com website and in their technical section about porsche brakes it states that the stock 944T rotors were 299x24.

I'm sure the rears are that size, are the fronts the same?
