I will only adress the rear calipers, as I know these best.

C2 rear: two piston type, 44mm, very light-weight, great brake action. I love them.

944T rear: 4-(small) pistons (28/30mm?), smaller pistons than 993 N/A rear (30/34mm).

Difference in brake force should be better for the 4-piston caliper, but I suspect it doesn't make much difference. I have used both, but on different cars...

i have the 2 pots for the rear of my bug - glad someone else has used them - not seen many bugs with them

do the front calipers run the same disc ie 994T and 964


for the front i have some 964 c2 calipers, and to use them i would either have to modify a 944 hub and run the disc, or turn down a vw disc to use as a hub and run the 964 disc.

however if i want to use a kerscher vented front disc i have to use the 944T REAR caliper? is this right?

i really wanted to go with the kerscher front disc as this is an easy mod but from reading i cannot use my caliper on this disc, but can use a 944T rear caliper or a boxster rear caliper?
