930 brake replacement

Hi
I have a 76 930 that a previous owner installed the floating rotors and calipers on the front. The rotors are worn down to minimum thickness and I would like to replace. However, replacement costs are excessive and I have read that many people change to the later type fitted from 1980 onwards. Any advice on what exactly needs to be changed? What are your views on this?
Thanks
Kev

You would need later 930 front hubs...from an 80 on. Then you should be able to use the non floating one piece 930 rotor.

Take a look at Sebro , they have floating rotors for a more sensible price than porsche.

These are a good choice FYI By the time you spend the money on the later hubs $$ and the rotors to match, you would have spent more than a pair of Sebro floating rotors

I agree...Sebro seems to be the better option. Any other components that must be changed at the same time... brake flange or ring? Can these be reused?
