I did try and it would have been nice ... however the Turbo,GT2 & GT3 six pots aka the "BIG REDS" are way too big for the CSL's 345 mm floating discs. U see, the Porsche discs are not the floating type like the CSL units, and their friction surface is larger, despite the disc diameter being smaller so the brake pads used in the BIG REDS are too big for the friction surface of the CSL disc which are bigger but with smaller friction surface. U're still with me ??? ;):hahaha: The middle part of the CSL disc is so much bigger then the Porker one.
Pix below show U the difference in calliper size as well, the bigger one being the "BIG RED" You can't even use the same brackets I had made for me as the mounting bolts are further apart :bigcry:

Are the big reds 6 pots? as your picture shows only 4 pots on both calipers if they are only 4 pots then my big reds ain't so big! They did however come from a 2002 gt3, the size difference does look the same as my set front and rear though? If i wasn't so tight i would buy a propper set...

Good find Shimmy :thumbs: It's close, but no cigar :blalalala:
These brackets are only for the BMW 6 pot callipers which I've read mixed reviews about. Mainly saying that these callipers struggle to dissipative heat under repetitive hard braking (i.e. Track work) resulting in the rubber piston seals melting out :whistle: BREMBO four pots are "Tried & Tested" :supz:
