Stock brakes are 350mm, so they should fit any wheel 18inch or bigger. They will also fit some 17inch wheels.

The optional CCBs are bigger and require 19+inch wheels.

The 350mm brakes will definitely fit. The CCBs will only fit if the Cayman S has the optional 19inch wheels.

brake fitment depends on the mounts on the wheel carriers/hubs. You would have to actually test fit to ensure compatibility. It is not as simple as swapping wheels

stick em on ebay, let everyone else worry about the fitment. I see the Turbo brakes on A4's etc. however every once in a while.

Yea it seems like he was trying to say as long as you could fit em in the wheels, they'd work.


I know some people use 993 brakes on BMWs (m3s). I imagine people could fit em on e46s. So a lot of cars could most likely use them, just a custom caliper mount might be needed. I doubt there are many bolt on besides other 997s and maybe 996.

They should be a straight-forward swap to 996TT/C4S.

Are you asking what other Porsche models there are a direct fit to, or, what other Brand cars will these work on??

you can bolt them on to non turbo 997's, they are bigger than the non turbo items. same for 996 .

as for non-Porsche cars, they will not bolt straight on to anything!!!!
Each different car would need its own bracket that bolts to the hub/carrier, then the caliper would bolt to that.

on a side note, when i worked at Evolution Motorsports we went to Waterfest(big vw show) in 05 or so. just to be different we machined up a set of mounts and bolted up a set of PCCB's on a year 2000 VW golf 1.8T


I will look for pics, i should have them on another laptop.

Please PM me with photos of the brakes and the price your buddy wants for them. I'm interested.

Thanks!
