Yes, they are, most all rear disks are 24mm I noticed; The hats are indeed taller/shallower with each model, so you need to check out what will work for you.

Did you find much of a difference going over to the 944 mastercylinder from the beetle mastercylinder?
Yes, 23mm or 19mm in the front will make a big difference. But even with the 944 master and mounting the lines so that 23mm is to the front brakes (thus lessening the brake power on the front), on MY car, the rear still didn't bite enough. Or in other words: I still leave braking power on the pavement, it can be better if my rears work harder.
Most all rear porsche 4-pot calipers (including the 996 ones) have something like 28/30mm cups in them. For MY car with 245 wide semi-slick tires, that is just too little I found. Even the 993 rears I had had the largest rear cups I could find (30/34) and even that was too small on MY car.
Notice I said MY car, as I am sure others will have different experiences with their cars wih different set-ups

I just hope to have solved the bias with the 36/40 cups in the 986 front calipers...I'll et you know how it turns out next (track-day) season
