Two brake options, need help choosing!
 
Okay gang, I have the racecar brakes down to two options but could use some noodling around which one to choose... Any pros/cons you could provide would be happily received!


86 944T calipers front and rear.
- For those technically inclined, front 2x38 2x38 pistons, rear 2x30 2x28 pistons (1.61 bias)
- Use Adapters to fit calipers from vendor (like VCI)
- 292x28 944T/964 rotors on front
- 298x24 944T/964 rotors on rear
- 23mm master - Cost about $2000

96 993 calipers front and rear.
- S4's and litle reds (2x44 2x36) and (2x30 2x34)
- Adapters to fit
- 309x28 930 turbo rear rotors
- Custom rotors and hats from VCI or rennsport front
- 23mm master - Cost, about $2000 (because I have these calipers already)

THe thoughts I have...

Pro 993:
Well the 993 setup is obviously bigger and fatter discs

Pro 944T
- 993 setup won't work under 15's
- 993 setup requires custom disc's/hats, cost $360/pair whereas the 944T cost $160

What do YOU think?

That's not much of a difference in costs. the non-water cooled brakes are bigger, and they are also designed for a weight bias more like your car. Don't use 15" wheels.

What's wrong with 930 brakes? :-/

The 930 brakes are great... But TWICE the cost...
