I spoke to Mike Ghia and he thought 1986 944 turbo for the front as this was a one year only with thick discs which still mount from the rear (I have early 944 hubs).
For the rear he suggested 928 S2/4 discs.

I still want to confirm these thicknesses or if anyone else can?

Cheers,
Rich

ah sorry I cant help, I have the top hat style disks.

ah just remembered, this disk conversion for the 944 as sold by the porscheshop.com uses porsche 911 disks, dont know the thickness of hand but if they are selling kits using them, they must know what they are doing.
this was on ebay a few weeks back

I think that your disc thickness depends on the style caliper that you use. I used the Boxster monoblocks (black in color). The correct disc thickess for these disc is 24mm front and 20mm rear. The boxster S may use a rotor of bigger thickness. I am sure that the rotors I have are the correct ones for the calipers I am using because there are these little posts that the pads sit on. The spacing between these two points is around 26mm so it only aloows for the 24mm thick rotor. The distance between the posts in the back is like 22mm so it only allows for the 20mm rotor. Again, like I said things may be different for the Boxster S calipers. I can get part numbers and a couple picts if you are interested.

These are my 996 calipers:



I believe they are the same as Boxster S
I'll measure between the posts..

The calipers pictured are different than the ones that I have. The portion of the caliper where the mounting bolt goes through is different. Mine is not as thick. Here is a link to the pelican parts page. I am pretty sure that these are the calipers I have, or at least I what I can tell from the pictures.

The best way to determine your disc thickness is to measure the distance betweeen the posts that the pads rest on.
