944T Caliper front vs. Rear

[YllwVeeDub]

I have read through a lot of old posts and am still having trouble figureing out exactly what the difference between 944T front and rear calipers are. They both have a 94mm mounting pattern right? Are the piston diameters different between the two? Any reason not to run 944T rears in the front? I already have my 944T rear setup on the car I'm just trying to sort out my front setup now. Thanks in advance for any help.

They are the same pattern. The rears use 30mm, and 28mm pistons. The front's are 40mm, and 36mm, but some have 44mm, and 38mm pistons (the 944S2's I think). You need larger brakes in front to counteract the weight shifting forward when brakes are applied. You could use the rears in the front with some two piston 911's in the rear (not sure of bolt pattern, or piston size) they are both Brembo calipers. So, at least they would have the same style :cool: .
