My 1993 M030 needs new brake pads but all the ads for 968 pads have a note saying Sport Suspension excluded. I know the M030 ones are different but can not find any. I read once that the M030 brakes are from a 928 GTS. True? Can the standard 968 pads be used?
Thanks for any help.
I know two people with M030 If I recall correctly they said the brakes ( rotors and pads ) are the same as the regular 968, with the only difference being the wheel spindles and the bars , of course . ( I sourced the M030 bars and had them installed on my car, separately ) But I could be wrong and may have misunderstood what they said .
Heres a handy breakout of the M030 goodies:

Not much info on the pads themselves. Side by side, the standard and the M030:

Note the main difference between the caliper as quoted from the breakout diagram
Front 4-piston Brembo caliper (M030) with 36-mm and 44-mm pistons, replaces the smaller stock caliper (also 4-piston Brembo with 36-mm and 40-mm pistons).

Great info !
My suspension set up is : MO3O sway bars, Koni coilovers front /250 lbs springs, KLA coilovers rear/ 95lbs springs, adjustable shocks front and rear, ride height lowered 1” . Original rotors, brake pads are either Hawk or EBC , I can’t recall which .
M030 version uses larger front caliper, the same as on Porsche 928 S4.
Part numbers for standard front pads and M030 version are different.
Standard 968: 951.351.939.03 or 964.351.939.03. M030 option: 965.351.939.03 or 993.351.939.03
Sizes of the front pads also appear to be different:
Standard vs M030:
Breite (width) - 97.8mm vs 131.8mm
Hoehe (height) - 65.5mm vs 70.9mm
Staerke (thickness)- 17.5mm vs 17.5mm
