You get a little more rotor with the 996 caliper but 993 calipers are bigger, stiffer, and provide better, more consistent clamping. Even if you're talking Turbo calipers (Big Reds vs. 996TT calipers) I think I'd still take the 993 stuff. My guess is even the big 17z is about comparable to your current caliper setup but an 18Z caliper might be an upgrade, although it also might affect wheel choice.

As I said I think I will buy them anyway, just in case. To good of a deal to pss up. Ill try to find some more info, but based off what you said ill try and just find some nee rotors and pads. For some reason I thought the 996 were bigger, but maybe that was just overall length. I didnt know that they were stiffer, meaning the actual brake feel? They are both monobloc cailpers so they are pretty stout.

The problem is the 996 calipers are aluminum where the 993 are cast iron. That's where the stiffness and pedal feel comes in. Again, the 996 does use a slightly bigger rotor (although the calipers are physically smaller), so if aesthetics are your goal the 996 makes sense.
When I was at Rennline the boss tried 996 calipers on his 993 track car. We had a set around and it was time for a pad/rotor change so we figured we'd throw them on for an easy upgrade. They lasted one event and were swapped back. Fade and pedal feel both suffered and although the times were similar his feedback was that they felt a lot less consistent.
Are there rebuild kits available for these racks or is it strictly shop-rebuild item?ringbearer wrote:You need to have a rack rebuilt by Jorgens. The bellow is just a dust boot, it needs a rebuild If fluid leaks from anywhere.
