I'm in the process of putting 911 brakes up front.
I have 2 sets of calipers and noticed one at has a wider space between the 2 caliper halves than the other set. Are there different thicknesses of rotors or what is the purpose and how do I know which one to use? Just test fit and use prices of elimination I suppose? Attached thumbnail(s)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Do those calipers have the same spacing - 3” or 3.5” What front hubs are you using? Eric is the one to ask regarding all the compatibility. |

All 3.5” Maybe Jeff will chime in…..not sure if he has different parts from what I had sold him. |
