Yes all those pads can be purchased here in the states, I know because I have some of them on my E30.

There was a thread about it, I think the issue was having someone make a mounting bracket or something?

Oh by the way Rotora makes a bbk for our cars too, although I imagine it's the same caliper Stoptech uses and like someone else said they probably source the design from Brembo.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It would be the rear caliper. But it will be less than optimal if are still using c-clipped axles.

what do u mean?? its a stock rearend the car in my avitar

roy

The rear brakes on a Fbody are a floating caliper design. This design allows for caliper movement for C-clip axles when the axle shaft moves slightly in and out of the axle housing. The Porsche calipers are a fixed caliper design. When these fixed calipers are put on a c-clipped axle , the movement of the axle shaft going in and out ever so slightly will cause the rotor to push in the pistons of the fixed caliper. This is very predominant when coming out of a tight corner and then standing on the brakes to slow down. Which results in a long brake pedal.

how do others run the porsche caliper then? differnt axel?

roy

You either live with it , or convert to a non c-clip design.
I chose to convert, I couldn't live with a inconsistent long pedal.

I think I might understand the "long pedal" ur talking bout but what axels do u use to eliminate that? or should I just put c5s on the rear & be done with it. I'm not going 2 be running tight corners but maybe hit the track a lot this summer

roy

You should be fine with normal driving and 1/4 mile, but you will see the long pedal on roadcoures and slalom events.

You have a few options
1. Live with it.
2. get a aftermarket rear end with presson bearings on the axle shafts
3. Modify your current axle.

Pressed on axle bearing and axle


Pcar brake on the rear
