Someone here can help by posting pics of the early and later versions so you can spot the differences
BTW- the inner mounting locations are different than what I assume these are intended for your Carrera ? The inner caliper castings have to be modified to fit the rear arms on your car. Costs about $400-500 for a machinist to do this
Thanks TRE! Luckily I checked and didn't order the same rears.
Yes I will be ordering new ones from Porsche, which will be later manufactured for sure. I don't know if I want to mess with the brake line inlets, maybe better off just wait it out for a little bit and see if porsche will make another batch of that caliper.

Yes, those will be for a carrera. I have had a set years ago, had to have the rear mounting machined also fins shaved down a little.

Thanks again!
