I had a set of 996tt calipers that I considered, but due to my calculations and response from this site, it appears they would not be a well balanced package for this car. At present I have those calipers on the car with 13'' discs but am in the market for a different caliper that is better matched. Big Reds come in many flavors it appears. Would appreciate hearing from any of you that have been down this road or something similar. Thanks, Bob

The 930 brakes will likely be adequate for the 3.6
next step up from there would be 993RS which are a version of 'Big Red'
all the fronts are the same except for color, pistons are 36/44, 993 and 964 3.6t versions are red, 928 GTS versions are black w/ reversed bleeds and feed all use 322x32mm rotors, all the 993 versions of the rotor are the same 2 piece hat/annulus design, the 964 versions are 1 piece and the 928GTS versions are also 1 piece but also not drilled
in back 964 3.6t versions have smaller calipers and rotors, all the 993 versions use the bigger S4 sized caliper in red, on 322x28 rotors. The 993RS versions are 30/36 the 993tt versions are 28/28,
Best setup w/ these is the 993RS version
there are pluses to going to a 330mm rotor w/ these calipers though some hoops need to be addressed, biggest plus is at 330mm the rears can also be 2 piece
biggest issue w/ 993RS on a 911 is in back where major work is needed on both the rotors and calipers to use them, bolt on versions of the 9933RS for use on 911 used to be available from Race Technology which is the N. American arm of Brembo, but as far as I know they have stopped selling them
