Hey folks,

Do Porsche calipers (part numbers 996.351.421 and 996.351.422) fit the S3 no probs or are these the wrong ones to get. If they are ok what else is needed in order to upgrade my brakes....


Cheers

There is a thread in the stickies covering brakes

If they are boxster rear calipers then they are no good...

Dont touch rear callipers they wont work well enough. I have 986.351.421 /422 Boxster fronts on my S3 and they're spot on:

Any excuse to show them off

Hi folks,

The chap selling the brake kit says the following, they are bright red in colour and i thought it was the dull black ones that were no good.

Mine were anodised black before I had them coated. All the info is in the thread Tuffty posted above. I used it to ensure I didn't buy the wrong callipers.
