6 piston front and 996tt rear calipers installed.
Photos
1. Oem GTS-4pistons calipers vs 6 piston calipers.
2. Oem pads vs Gt-3 pads. Huge difference!!
3. 996tt rear calipers needed to use 350mm Girodisc rear rotors.
4. Rotors are Girodisc 350mm front and rear.
5. Girodisc stud kit. Includes thread chaser. Very easy too install.

Notice how the pads contact area is maximize, both on the caliper and rotors. Calipers can be red or yellow.

That is quite a massive difference on the front. What model are the 6 piston from? Is there much difference with the rear?

Any feedback regarding pedal feel. I assume there are no master cylinder issues.

They are oem 991 carrera s calipers. I believe they are the same as in the 718 GTS 4.0. I can take a photo of the part #’s.
I have not finished yet. Waiting for the brake pad wear sensor.
The rear pads are the same basic shape but wider to cover the 350mm rotor instead of the oem 299mm. You can see in the rear caliper photo that the pads cover all the way across the 350mm rotor. Sorry no photo. A lot more contact area. The main objective is to have a lot more rear rotor mass as heat sink. Thus the larger diameter, 350 vs 299mm, and thicker, i believe, not sure 30 vs 20 mm.
Did change the MC from 25mm to 27mm pistons.
Will reprogram ecu as if the car has PCCB brakes.

I have had those calipers on mine for over a year. Here's the part #'s for a full factory upgrade, I upgraded the rear 2 spots to 4 spots & changed the master cylinder as well (all straight bolt ons):

The front axle setup is exactly as your. As is the master cylinder used. The rear axle setup is different as I use 996tt rear calipers/ spacers/Gt-3 pads and 350 x 28mm Girodisc rear rotors. My main objectives are to increase and maximize the heat sink capacity at the rear and improving the brake pedal feel. Thanks for the part # list.

Nice work!

 

[baubaulu]

what is the function of the Master Cylinder? Do i need to upgrade it necessary? Thanks

My thoughts are if you don't know what a master cylinder is, you certainly don't want to do this yourself. I would also question why you would want to do it since I'm guessing you probably don't even know if you're currently getting everything out of the oem configuration.
MOO & FWIW.

Thanks for posting this, I looking to do the 380mm GT4 conversion but the 350mm looks more cost effective. Did you do 350mm rears?

This sounds awesome. What is the purpose of reprogramming the ECU as if the car has PCCB?

 

[InigoMontoya]

OP, I am trying to find the weight and piston size of the S caliper. Since you have one laying around, could you weigh it and perhaps measure the piston diameter?

Here is my post where I am trying to find actual specs between base and S front calipers.

Thank you.
