Rear discs

I thought ONLY S2's and Turbo's had 4 pots - the other models had floating calipers (??) - single pot all round? Not sure about the S though.... EDIT: Just re-read the original post properly.... I don't know the sizes of the disks but weren't the M030 option bigger? That would be the only time I would guess its different. Other than that I'm quite sure the Turbo and S2 brakes are the same.
 
My old 924S which is the same as early 944 only had floating calipers all round certainly not four pot, I thought this was a turbo and S, S2 thing.
 
My '83 has similar sized discs all round, and similar style single piston calipers, all of which were standard on n/a 2.5 inc S and 2.7. Turbo and S 2 had uprated ones but not sure of rotor size
 
Cheers guys was just checking the disc size, diameter for cars with single pot floating calipers is 289mm, 4 pots are 299mm. Thats what I was checking. Finally bought a set of rear disc, but.... no I can't fine anywhere that stocks the handbrake shoes [:mad:] really being made to work at getting this car finishewd lol Part number is 996 352 993 00, anyone have a set for sale or know anywhere in the North East that has them in stock?? Other than £90 from OPC I'm not THAT desperate!!
 
Spoke to Stephen at Tom Fergusons, might have some I'll have to check back on Monday, thanks for the tip I didn't even know the place existed!! But its bizarre that no where is able to stock a part that is so common to so many Porsche models!
 
Tom Fergusons seem a bit grumpy by all accounts and don't have the most competitive pricing but they seem to know their stuff. Have you tried the OPC at the Silverlink? They've been fantastic for getting me all sorts of random little bits, Michael and Colin on parts are rally good.
 
Be careful about offset when ordering disks. Late disks have a deeper casing to house the ABS early ones are shorter from face of disk to face of bolts
