Alloy Rear calipers

[coomo]

Will be using original S alloy calipers on front of build.However, what options are available for rear alloy calipers that will match the front S calipers?
I recall a mention somewhere of Alfa Romeo calipers.However a search proved fruitless.
Or am I destined to go with modifying and using 964 calipers?
Any input appreciated guys.

PMB had something bolt-on years ago but supply must have run out.

I purchase new repop "S" front calipers for my build and settled for using stock rear calipers. Even if you could find alloy calipers to fit you might not find that much weight savings.

A while ago, i saw that PMB had those calipers but recently were out of stock. These were functionally equivalent to the aluminum S caliper but mounted on standard 3 inch eared struts. I think they may have fit around the standard 20 mm vented disc, but don't quote me on that. IIRC, they were something like 600 each.

correct, from the GTV6

Overall I'd say: with your "S" front, go stock rear and go driving.

if you have a brutal power plant in your bay then you will smt totally different front and rear anyway.

The Brembo calipers have 48mm pistons like the front S caliper, not the 38mm pistons of the rear caliper. So you would have a severe brake imbalance if you tried to use them. I don't know of any suitable aluminium rear calipers.
