They have a few different options for ya.
I plan on using the 944 discs on the 58' panel but they are a pretty easy bolt-on with those because they use the same bearings.

Bullyboy, Not a bad Idea, I hear they have some quality work.

I forgot to mention, I'm looking to spend less than $1000. On 4 wheel disk, if Possible!

Thanks for the replies.

I have heard many good things about the CB set up.

I think with a cheap 944 single pot setup and the machine work you would come out at the same price or a little cheaper, probably cheaper, than most "good" kits....Just my 2 JR

I started to price the early 944 set up I have, but I hit a major bump when I found that the rear disk push the wheels out too much. So either I buy narrowed trailing arms, or differant wheels. and I can't afford either.

The third option is narrowing my own trailing arms myself, it's not the work that scares me, it's the fact that I don't want to build something that I'll be driving on. I don't trust my welding skills enough yet. I would use the early set I have but I can't for the above reasons. I would like to use the early 944 set cause they are bigger, vented disk, and I like the e-brake set up on the 944 set better.

Am I correct in thinking the early 944 has bigger disk?
Thank you

The 944 only got bigger and bigger brakes through the years.

Thanks for the input guys.

I've decided to go with the CB Race strength in the rear and CB disk in the front.

1 more question, for now, does anyone know if CB sells the front disk, drilled to porsche pattern w/press-in studs, out side of the kit? It would seem like a lot of extra money if you already have calipers and bearings.

If noone knows, I'll either call or email. Then post for future referance.

**I just got off the phone with CB performance, they do sell the disk outside of the kit. For Porsche pattern W/O press in studs they're $75 each, W/press-in studs, they're $95 each. But they're out of stock untill probably the end of march.**
