Are the big reds 6 pots? as your picture shows only 4 pots on both calipers if they are only 4 pots then my big reds ain't so big! They did however come from a 2002 gt3, the size difference does look the same as my set front and rear though? If i wasn't so tight i would buy a propper set...

Turbo Big Reds = 4 pots... GT3 RS = 6 pots Brembo calliper solutions :thumbs:

I did try and it would have been nice ... however the Turbo,GT2 & GT3 six pots aka the "BIG REDS" are way too big for the CSL's 345 mm floating discs. U see, the Porsche discs are not the floating type like the CSL units, and their friction surface is larger, despite the disc diameter being smaller so the brake pads used in the BIG REDS are too big for the friction surface of the CSL disc which are bigger but with smaller friction surface. U're still with me ??? :hahaha: The middle part of the CSL disc is so much bigger then the Porker one.
Pix below show U the difference in calliper size as well, the bigger one being the "BIG RED" You can't even use the same brackets I had made for me as the mounting bolts are further apart :bigcry:

Good find Shimmy :thumbs: It's close, but no cigar :blalalala:
These brackets are only for the BMW 6 pot callipers which I've read mixed reviews about. Mainly saying that these callipers struggle to dissipative heat under repetitive hard braking (i.e. Track work) resulting in the rubber piston seals melting out :whistle: BREMBO four pots are "Tried & Tested" :supz:

What disc size is normally used with boxster caliper? I am surprised that the big reds from the 996 turbo only just a 330mm disc! matt, Did you ever test fit a set of these?

Thanks

Good read. Thanks for posting this up. I am tempted now:thumbs:Might have a look at ebay later.

Btw where did you get new discs for 100! that is a good price.

My local E.C.P. and they are the proper ATE ones (ATE being the O.E. maker of the single piston wrongness BMW call brakes callipers :whistle: ) That price however was some what discounted as I also bought the PAGID RS 4-2 aka Pagid Blue pads, at the same time :thumbs: Give me a shout (pm) if you're struggling :beer:
BTW 9J 18s Track wheel solutions fit straight over the BREMBO CSL solutions without the need for spacers :thumbs: Thank you please

I did ring up simpsons about some pf discs and bells (ap) and csl offset 355 dia i think but the responce was don't waste your time so now i want to do it even more! I also found from the local porsche stealer that the gt3 disc dia is 334 and 32 wide! and looking at yours they do look the dogs nuts! I will have to get rid of the porsche logo though:thumbs:I think the discs came from euro car parts reading bellow.
