dont think so mate, mine are 996 rears, the carrera turbos will be for a bigger disc configeration.

may be wrong though, anything can fit with deep pockets

would 911 turbo calipers fit aswell (sorry for hijack)

Yup the big reds fit but you need big alloys for these too.
Just get 2 piece discs, thats all you need to do to vastly improve the braking of the LCR. Give me a shout if you want a spin in my motor with these 2 piece discs

motul rbf 600 i think it is, 15 quid for 2 500ml bottles.....

used 2 and a half bottles.

pics coming soon guys, give me a chance


will braking improve with the pads bedding in, its better now but needs improving.

the pads dont quite cover the whole of the disc tbh, but not far off.

thought it was to take it steady, no heavy braking for first few hundred miles?

they arent any worse now than before like, but dont bite properly yet as i would have expected, the pedal is hard though, not spongey

taking it easy anyway, just a little concerned that the pads dont cover all the disc, the disc is fully in the caliper? cant remember if the old kit was the same??

wondering if im losing braking performance due to this, or am i whittling on until there bedded in
