I know this has been asked about 1000 times before (Big Reds)
The problem is all the info I can find comes accross as opinion and "Im currently trying this" with no answers or I got a kit from someone and import duties put buying a kit out of my price range.
I am looking to upgrade my brakes to big reds I know I can use the RS2 bracket with the 993TT and 996 calipers does anyone have the part numbers for those Calipers? I also want to know which Disk (Those are Rotor Just-Emre)will fit I have read that the 323mmX30mm S8 disk will work on the 993TT and the 314mmX30mm A8 disk will work on the 996 Caliper.
What other parts will I need to get this set up other than break lines?
I am trying to do this with as many stock parts as possible. I would apreciate any advice you guys can give on how you got your big reds installed.
Thanx

I have a picture in my mind of how it should look but I want to make sure. you always see the pics on the workbench but never bolted up

No they do not. I just ordered from a Porsche dealer and the dampers come
separately. I just ordered from Sunset imports (1-800-346-0182) yesterday and from my research, they are the cheapest around for Porsche parts (with no hook ups). They charge only 15% above cost, much cheaper than retail. FYI, I went with the big blacks (928 GTS calipers, $550) as they were about $200 cheaper than the 993TT calipers ($750). All you need to do is switch the cross over tube and bleeder screws to make the 928 GTS calipers work. They are a trailing position mounting caliper as opposed to the leading (same as our URs4) position mounting of the 993 TT caliper.
I have compiled a new list with updated part numbers:
RS2 Caliper mounting brackets
Audi P/N - 8A0 615 125 A
Porsche 993 TT front calipers
Porsche P/N -993 351 425 10 L, 993 351 426 10 R
or
Porsche 928 GTS front calipers
Porsche P/N -928 351 423 03 L, 928 351 424 03 R
993 TT brake pads or equivalent
Porsche P/N - 928 351 949 03 (textar pads)
Euro S8 brake rotors (323mm x 30mm)
Audi P/N - 4D0 615 301 J (this P/N supercedes the A, the A part no longer exists in ETKA)
Caliper to mounting bracket bolts X 4 (long
Porsche P/N - 999 067 041 09
Mounting bracket to strut bolts X 4 (short)
Audi P/N - N 100 880 03 (M12 x 1.25 x 25)
SS brake lines
Pad wear sensors X 2
Porsche P/N - 993 612 368 00
Pad wear sensor holders
Porsche P/N - 928 612 361 00
Pad vibration dampers X 4, 44mm
Porsche P/N - 965 351 096 00
Pad vibration dampers X 4, 36mm
Porsche P/N - 964 351 096 00
This should be the full list. I got everything for $950 (got the RS2 calipers from Gabriel for $150). All Audi parts were at dealer cost (I have a local hook up) and the Porsche parts from Sunset imports. Thanks to Gabriel and Sean for helping with the parts list! Can't wait to get everything and have it installed on the car. I need new brakes BAD!
