Looks like we're in the same boat. Seems like unless you go "the beemer way" it's still necessary to get the 3.5" ears (which I don't have yet.) Compared to the cost of a 930 system, it seems like it's worth to give the Carrera setup a try. (I'd rather spend $350 than $3500)

david,
thanks for the direction to the 914 pp article. It's thorough but still doesn't answer the question of whether the caliper will accept the 24mm Carrera rotor. They only talk about the 911 rotor, meaning 20mm. Since I already have the 20mm, unless the 320 caliper accepts something thicker, for most of the 911 crowd it's not really an upgrade. You just gain clamping force, but not any more thermal capacity.

Does anyone know whether the 930 calipers accept a "standard" pad or are they Porsche specific like the M pads?
