Your 944 calipers are actually 56mm. 56/36 front to rear might be fine for a heavy, front engine 944 but not so good for our light little rear engine Beetles.

Thanks for the advice! Right now I'm considering going 50:50 and use a proportioning valve to gradually increase the front bias. The only thing holding me back is the thought of that valve failing at some point letting me lock the rears and fly off... Don't know if I am being reasonable or just worry too much though... What do you think?

This is very interesting, thank you! Will they fit the 20.4mm wide rotor or the halves need shimming?

They ft exactly the same as any Beetle calliper but have 42 rather than 40 mm pistons, they have twin pin pads like a 72 Beetle, they would need shimming to go that wide

Are you aware of any caliper that can bolt to the rears with or without an adapter with a piston size of approximately 40mm-36mm (38 would be nice lol)?
Thanks! |

So update the 944NA (76mm spacing) spindle is not compatible with the Typ3 nor with the beetle calipers....
