What brakes are these?
This is a total noob question, so please forgive me. I am still trying to sort out what track mods my PO has done. These are the brakes I have on the front;
![]() The owner said that they were 928 S4's. The drilled rotors are huge, almost 1 1/4" thick. The rear brakes are supposed to be 930's. My questions are these; -What pads and rotors will fit these brakes. Is there a 911 equivalent that I can buy? How about the 930 rears? -I have read the tecnical articles about replacing pads, but these calipers do not look like those. Instead of pins they have a bent wire cage holding in the discs. Is there a technical article somewhere about how to get these pads out? Any insights into these brakes would be appreciated. Thanks, rickdm

They do look like 928 calipers or 993 ones. Look at this thread for some great info.

Looks like 928 calipers with floating 930 rotors.

Thanks. Any ideas what pads they take? Any tips on how to get to the pads? I didn't see any of this on the other links.
Thanks, rickdm

Here is a better view of the rotor, is it really a floating 930 rotor?
