Must be in reasonable condition, pins that aren't welded on with crap/rust for example :roll:

Thanks :)

I'm after standard single piston calipers myself. As nice as an upgrade to S2 calipers would be I don't fancy having better brakes on the back than the front!

As did I. I've managed to rescue one from the brink of death so I only need a passenger side one now.

I've managed to source one after a lot of hunting. I'm speaking to Max at Frazerparts about starting a caliper refurb service and going to give him a set of old dead calipers I have to get things started as soon as I hear back from him.

I'll let you know how it goes.

Why did you not try ebay? I just search breaking 944, emailed the sellers and I have 5 replies from people. All of which had pairs of front and rear calipers for sale. Just for future reference :D

Bit of a pointless bump but I got some from Porschapart(?) in the end after seeing them in a thread on here. Helpful chap and they were packed super well/next day delivery!

Albeit, 'new' calipers/discs/pads made no difference, fronts to sort next :lol: (already have front calipers :mrgreen: )

Glad you got hold of some. I managed to source one from a guy on Twitter. Also replaced all discs and pads and the 944S is now braking like it should again!
