I read through all of the interesting and enlightening threads about Big Red brakes and figured I was ready to take the plunge, so when I acquired a set of barely used 993 Turbo front calipers (with pads) from a German ebay auction, I began the new-parts ordering process.



When the rotors arrived I double checked the part numbers and quickly realized I had ordered 993TT front rotors, part no. 993.351.043.01 and 993.351.044.01, NOT the 965 rotors like I had read about. Note to others: order earlier in the day when the brain is still active.



My question is, will the 993 front rotors work for the BR conversion or will I need to purchase the 965 rotors? Also, are there any other odds and ends pieces like bearings & seals, anti-rattle shims etc. that I need to put on the next order form? I didn't know there were so many rotor options out there.



I stumbled across a set of rear rotors too. Is there any possibility of using 993TT rear rotors on a 968 or are they just cool looking door stops now?



Thanks,

Dan

I dont remember the exact P/N''s but my BR's have a 993 P/N's on the rotors. If I think of it when I get home I will check the P/N on my spare set.

This might help -- it's a summary of the tech specs of brakes used on the 911's.

Thanks josephsc,



Great information!!! Now if I can just figure out whether or not the 993TT rotors will work. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/dry.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />

How 'bout it smokie, can you share some numbers??? Man, I've got to know pretty quick. I'm taking the car to the tuner for the upgrade this Saturday and I REALLY don't want to buy rotors again if I can avoid it. Please provide any advice you can. Thanks very much!
