Where to get 996 monobloc(k) calipers cheap (new or used)?
Since they're cheaper than going with the 993TT big reds for a low cost big brake upgrade. Post links and prices. Thanks!

Re: cheaper than 993's!?! howz that....
I thought 996's were cheaper than 993's. Am I mistaken? I also figure by going with 996's, the replacement rotors would be easier to find. Let me continue my search for the 996 pricing...

i would think b/c 996's are 1-piece (hence monobloc) and weight less and are newer that they are
more $$.
those are just my impressions though, I could be totally wrong (i hope I am cause I'd sooner have monoblocks over Big Reds)
check yah later

Thanks for correcting me! Part number for the 993's and 996's?
I want to do the front brake upgrade on my CQ. Can you specifically tell me what years and models of Porsche each caliper came off of? Are both front and rear calipers for the 993's & 996's the same size or would I only be able to use the front calipers. I see a couple Porsche calipers on eBay, but I don't want to buy the wrong ones.
Thanks again!
Thanks again!

Yes, 996/911 and 986/Boxster calipers are all monobloc.
However, the rotor sizes are not the same for each caliper. There are a lot of different monoblocs out there in P-car-world.
