Name that Caliper

I have bought a 1988 911 3.2 G50, that was a RoW out of Japan. Its a modded Outlaw, with lightweight flywheel, race clutch, headers, carbon hood, rear seat delete, Recaro buckets, Tarrett Sway Bar links etc, and supposedly 930 Turbo brakes/rotors....

But these Brembo calipers dont look like the 930 Turbo calipers I looked at on BAT cars with photos of the brakes with wheels off.

In fact, the rears and the right front calipers all the same, but the LEFT front, while it seems to be the same in dimensions, has the Porsche letters, the other 3 dont, so not sure what I am dealing with. There are no part #'s any of them that I can see, just the Brembo name on the back of inside caliper.

Could these possibly be off a 994 Turbo or some other model?

This has come about as I have a odd noise in the Left front that goes away with minimal brake pressure applied. The suspension when I got it was too low, and also updated RS Bushings, adjustable swing plates, and it just had the Turbo tie rods last year.

Top Photo is the right front and same as the rears, the bottom photo left front, with Porsche Logo.

Here are photos-

probably 964 calipers

there were several types of these, all use the same 930 72x132mm pads
36/40 for use w/ 28 x298mm rotors, though w/ some effort can be used w/ 32 x304 930 rotors on the front of a 911


any of the following can be adapted to the back of a 911
28/30 used in back w/ 24x299mm rotors

30/34 used in back w/ 24 x299mm rotors


30/34 for use w/ 28 x299mm rotors these were 964t rears originally, these are the best to use on the rear of a 911 w/ 28 x309mm 930 rotors


30/34 for use w/ 24 x299mm rotors these were originally used on 993 rear and have a slightly different appearance from the 964 versions

Bill I really appreciate the great info you have provided.

After many checks, I think the noise I am hearing is coming from the pedal box, and I need to rebuild the bushings on the brake pedal.

Happy New Year!
