Buy 17" wheels and a kit that comes with everything that you need.

A good person to lalk to would be Steve Weiner at Rennsport Systems.

I have a complete setup of Big Reds and 993TT rotors on all 4 on my 78 Turbo. I worked with Jamie at Race Technologies in Los Angeles, the authorized Brembo distributor. Although my parking brakes work .... the shoes are not 100% inside the drum in the rear rotors. Their website is

Also, Vehicle Craft has a complete setup. The difference with Vehicle Craft is that VC allows you to keep your factory 930 rear rotors and a fully operational parking brake. Their website is

The Race technology kit is also sold by other venders including Steve W. and Wayne here at Pelican Brembo Big Red kits



I have said many times that the front kit is great but the rear is not to my liking. garrickl, has cited one of the deficiencies of the rear kit. The best thing to do in the rear is to find some 964T rear calipers which only need a small easily acomplished mod to bolt to the 911/930 trailing arm. Then use the standard 309x28mm 930 rear rotor('78-89) which retains the stock parking brake. VCI and Rennsport also do nice if overly complicated rear kits.

As an alternative in the rear use a 993C4S rear caliper w/ the 930 rotor, it will need more machine work but it will also work well in that application.

You will need 17x8 wheels at a minimum and need to update to a 930 23mm boosted m/c
