Bigjobbo 0 Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Rhian has got her mits on some 997 calipers and we intend to fit them to the charged VR (also doing a few other bits to her before Inters :-) ) has anyone gone for this setup? What discs can you use? Will an 18" rim be suitable to house these lovely beasts? Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Chris, it depends what caliper it is.Most mk3 owners go with the boxer brakes but I'll need a 17" wheelI've got the cayenne calliper that needs an 18" wheelA few people I know have 996turbo caliper also under an 18" wheel Link to post Share on other sites
Bigjobbo 0 Posted May 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Ok cheers dude. All I know is they are 4-pot 997. So we will need oem Porsche discs plus adapters and 18's to get them fitted? Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 You can get em to run with 312s if you get the right adapter to fit em Link to post Share on other sites
VIW28 29 Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Not sure which 997 calipers you have but in terms of Porsche calipers what fits are the Boxster, Boxster S/Carrera 2/4 non turbo and Cayenne 17 L/RZ will fit behind 17's. you can run either 312 or 323 mm discs with the Boxster and Carrera ones but will need 332mm R32 discs for the Cayenne ones. After that you can run 996 turbo or Cayenne 18 L/RZ but you will need 18" wheels which are too big for a mk3 unless they're about 7" wide max and make the car pretty crap to drive.I have Carrera 2 non turbo calipers with LCR 323mm discs on mine, have removed the abs and controlling bias with an inline manual bias valve. The brakes are not good however.... still have to resolve the issue. I'm upgrading the master cylinder to a 25.4mm one from a T5 Transporter to see if it helps, if not it may be a faulty servo.
