Guys,
I just used a pretty trick set up for my race car this past weekend at Road Atlanta, and I was extremely pleased....

Previously, I had the typical Carrera front and rear rotors and calipers. Nice, but in a long weekend at the track, i kept warping my rotors and boiling the fluid (yes, I use race fluid, the stuff just above Super blue called Motol or something like that). Anyway, it was getting annoying....

I had a set of 993 calipers that I was determined to figure out how to use. I couldn't use the front because they mount different, but the rears looked promising.

So, with slight modifications to the 993 rear caliper mount holes, they fit on the front of the Carrera suspension, then I moved the Carrera fronts to the rear, and Viola, much better braking!! I already had a proportioning valve and it turns out I didn't need to adjust it at all. And I kept the Carrera rotors on the car mainly because I couldn't get a set of 993 crossed drilled rotors in time, but I htink I'll just keep it this way for now. Worked fine.

I tested it out for a full Club Race weekend at Road Atlanta had was very happy with the results. No brake fade, no warping of rotors, nothing. Perfect straight line braking. Pedal feel is just like a 993, very stiff.

Keep in mind, though, that I run 16" very wide wheels, so clearance may be an issue with 15"....not sure.

Anyway, just my .02 on the subject.
