Having spent quite a bit of time phoning about, and emailing various suppliers,  ( it has to be said that not a lot of interest in my business was shown - you know who you are!) seeking Porsche  carriers n discs, i finally bottomed out that no stock available....No reliable delivery dates either...
I was hoping for a little more interest when spending a grand?

Then there as the faff to sort used calipers...

Having fallen foul of a used 996 kit that wasted a lot of my time n money, now decided to go for a new ST 41 Stoptech kit.

Awesome reconfirmed that these will fit behind my ed30 Pescara without spacers, which is important to me.
Bit of a punt, as v little experince in this area.
Ordered.
Delivery next week!
