Are 930 brakes harder to rebuild?

Should be a little more difficult but not that much I would imagine (never rebuild 930 calipers personally). Twice as many pistons to remove, but that shouldn't be a big problem if you have the right tools. If not, I can see it being a huge PITA.

YES, you might as well get rid of them. Jon I'll do you a favor and take them off your hands for $50

OK, here's the plan. Brake rebuild gathering, my house in Germantown, March 20 (Saturday), say 10:00am. PM me if interested, I'll send directions. Assuming dry roads, we'll probably need to test the brakes out on some of the MoCo backroads when we're done .

If its nice, we'll pull out the grill and drink some beer afterwards. If not-so-nice, no grill but still beer (of course). I live in a federally mandated no-PBR zone, so sorry to all you Pabst fans. Also, it pains me to say that there will probably be little to no need to drop any engines as a part of the rebuild (sorry).

Here's a recommended shopping list:
- New OEM rotors
- New pads of your choice
- New rubber brake lines (very important!)
- Caliper rebuild kits
- 1 qt ATE SuperBlue brake fluid
- 1 qt DOT3 generic fluid (for flushing before final bleed with the ATE)
- 2 cans brake cleaner

I tried to walk away from the PBR-free zone comment, but now I'm gonna have to come to this event and secretly swap flat PBR for your generic brake fluid.

The owner of this 81SC only fills his tank with premium fluids! German biers for German P-cars Or Canadian!

Chris, I think this is the morning of the next monthly Porsche gathering in Alexandria. http://www.dorkiphus.com/porsche/viewtopic.php?t=1075

Only two can of Brake-Clean? What, does it come in 5 gal cans now?

Don't forget wheel bearing grease. Good time for William to get the part numbers off the bearings. Torque wrench very important for rotor bolts. Good selection of "C" clamps useful. Alchol good for cleaning calibers. But you probably know all this stuff.

Pari, you and your old tricks. $50, that's almost how much you paid for that ATE brake fluid. My car is on jack stands again since I'm working on lowering my car. I got bushings off, but I'm sliding on that while I'm in there slope again. Hmmm.. Torsion bars, painting the spring plates, bleed the brakes, new ferodo pads, new shocks maybe. Waiting for several bolts and nuts from pelican since I stripped the essentric bolts on the spring plate. Got a new Motiv bleeder, I'm set to go.
