Oh, there's one thing I forgot to mention about the rebuild kits. There are two different kinds of pistons and dust boots. The shop I ordered my kits from found out after sending me the kit's, there were two different types. Because, the kits they sent looked nothing like my originals. Apparently Brembo decided to change piston and boot styles without telling rebuild kit suppliers . My brakes came off a '89 944 S2. So, I guess if have the newer version. The supplier said He's only sold the kit's that did not work on mine. So, this was kind of new to Him also.

Here's some pic's of the two different piston and boot kits. Mine are the ones with the groove around the pistons. The two pistons you are looking at are both 40mm. You need to know what size pistons you have before ordering kits. The fronts are either 38mm and 36mm, or 40mm and 36mm. The rears are all 30mm and 28mm I think, mine are anyway.

I just got back a few hours ago from my favorite salvage yard picking up some parts. Oh man! I got to see "the mother load" of Brembo calipers . They have two 4'x4'x4' metal baskets full to the top with Brembo's . They ask me if I was ok because of the look on my face! I wish I had my camera. Maybe next trip I will remember to bring camera.

Thanks Mikey, The more I look at the blue, the more i'm starting to like it. It's my wifes car. I wanted to do a blue car with silver brakes and suspension, and she wanted a silver car. So, I just swithched the color around. I think it looks better than my color choice the more I look at it. I have lots of blue powder to use up from another job I did anyway .
