c'mon, stop this. of course I will say you ET, but 22 DO have et50, and they fit wheel arch PERFECTLY with 305 pirelli

your rear should be 358. call parts shop.

 

Wow. We are talking about fitment on 957, right? Does it rub against the inner fender during full turn?

I recently ordered a set of 20x10.5 wheels with 40 offset and 315/35 R 20 tires. I guess I will need some fender flares..

 

he removed washers from intercooler holders and now no rub. new front left tire will rub for 1-1.5 mm untill get used. or need to tighten up left wheelhousing to intercooler plastic with extra screw.

you will need front flares for sure...

 

My 2009 CTTS has the larger 2pc brakes up front & I believe the rears calipers are different than the 2008 CTT. My rears have calipers like the newer 997s in that they have closed backs. You have to remove the calipers to remove the pads, unlike the earlier calipers which the pads can be removed from the top of the caliper & don't require you to remove the caliper for a pad change.

 

I see all those upgrades you on here do to these cars, which can be utilized to their potential in track scenarios, but will not have advantage on the street.
Many $$$ spent, little improvement in street driving.
This is a pitfall many fall into, get something better, but will not use to its potential on street.

If you want it just because, all the power to you. Getting upgrades to use on street but installing track components, will translate into empty wallet and underutilized parts.
Hey, looks nice though, right?

 

you now try to count others money? )))

 

Well, define street usage. Why do you need a 500 HP (or even more if modified) twin turbo SUV on the street to start with??

You will cook the brakes more by going downhill with a trailer than couple corners at the track. It just depends on how you use the car.

I decided I need better brakes due to the reasons I listed earlier.
1. Stopping distance not enough
2. Fade (almost instant after 2 or more hard brakes)
3. Quick loss of performance after couple hard brakes
4. Squeal
5. Too much brake dust

And none of the upgrades we have been discussing here are strictly track oriented. We would have been discussing slick tires, race pads that squeal like pigs, roll cages, etc.

Some upgrades provide benefit both on the street and on the track. Good brakes could be the difference between life and death on the street.

 

Appears you are on here to try pick a fight.
I am not here to fight with you.
Yes, applications of parts vary according to what intended usage is.
I will not go into track/street usage - look it up.
Some comments are generic statements on people's behavior, and was not directed at original poster, but in general to several ppl posting.
Not interested in ***** fight over wording. Stay cool, you're gonna pop something.
Coming on here and acting like an a$$hole wont get you a promotion here.
If you like your parts, great. All the power to you. Enjoy, but dont be an a$$hole.

 

ciaka,

I don't know what your problem is but you're definitely on the wrong thread. Why would I be here to fight?? I started this thread to learn if the 2008 and 2009 CTT and CTTS brakes were interchangeable.

What is your agenda? Why are you posting here anyway? You have no information about the technical question I have and you have nothing to contribute.

Original poster is me. If you have generic comments on general people's behavior with wasting money on modifications, post it somewhere else. Not on my thread.

I did not use any offensive words or did not call you any names. Why would I? It's ridiculous. We are here to see what are some options to upgrade the stock brakes on 957 CTT. Why are you here again?

Start your own thread on why all aftermarket upgrades are waste of money and thousands of aftermarket part provider companies are useless. Just stay away from my thread. There is no bone here to cheer you up.

Enjoy your stock car. Bye.

 

No room for name calling in our discussions so knock it off

 

Thank you.

 

So my question regarding upgrading the rear brakes of 2008 CTT remains. Does the 2008 CTT Rear brakes come with the same size rotor and calipers as the 2009 CTT and CTTS Rear Brakes (with 380 mm Front Brakes)?

I’m planning on getting StopTech Cross Drilled Cryogenic rotors Part # 128.37044CL for Left and Part # 128.37044CR for Right. It says these Rear rotors are for models with 380mm front discs only. Would they fit the Rears of my 2008 CTT? If 2008 CTT has the same Rear brakes with 2009 CTT and CTTS, it should work.

Can somebody with 2009 CTT or CTTS with 380 mm Front Brakes tell me the measurement of the Rear rotors?

 

I think that if you get some quality rotors and keep the fricton material balanced front to rear, you are going to be very happy with the outcome. The front brakes are always going to be the grunt of your braking power. The abs and computer is going to take care of all your proportioning and bias.

 

rear is 358x28, I've told you

 

Ok, so 2008 CTT Rear brakes are 358x28.

What is the rear brake size of the 2009 CTT or CTTS with the 380 mm fronts?
