Well. It works. Pedal feel is fantastic, firmer than stock 240. Modulation is excellent and its quite capable of throwing you into the dash. I haven't tried to lock up the 245s yet. Details. Front calipers. 17Z L and R from a 2005 Porsche Cayenne V8. 6 pot (330mm rotors) Rear calipers. 2005 Porsche Cayenne V8. 4 pot Master Cyl. 1.0625" bore from a 1994 Mustang GT Rotors. S60R front and rear. Brembo. Pads. OEM Pagids all around. The adapters were designed by me. I'm considering doing a run of kits for this conversion. Overall the pricing is on par with the S60R brembo swap. Can be a little cheaper if you get lucky on ebay. Because of the staggered pistons and the fact that on the Cayenne the calipers are mounted leading edge, I had to flip the crossover pipes and bleeder screws to retain the even pad wear. ![]() ![]() ![]() Comparo. ![]() Removing unneeded lines and draining fluid. ![]() Always helping. ![]() ![]() ![]() I notched the brake line holders so I can swap strut tubes when I fancy up the suspension. ![]() Crossover line removal. ![]() ![]() ![]() Rear 240 rotor with the rotor portion cut off. This retains the stock parking brake. ![]() ![]() ![]() Trimming the backing plates to fit. ![]() (The bleeder screw was just a dust plug) ![]() ![]() The patient and owner. ![]() Master Cyl. ![]() Wat. ![]() The only modification needed is extending the pushrod on the booster. ~.8" ![]() The rear port is M10 bubble flare, front is M12 bubble flare so a reducer is needed. ![]() Yes the triangle is coming out. ![]() They're there.

![]() Nicely done my friend! One of the problems with the R calipers is they are technically backwards and instead of crossover tubes they are plugged. Well a few of us tried and the plugs are impossible to remove. Glad this worked out!

![]() Do the outside edges sit more inwards then the s60r calipers? I don't really know how to describe it...

![]() I'd be interested in that measurement. Then see f someone with an R conversion could do the same. Or I'll measure on the next R that comes through the shop

Like? Material is 7050 for the rears and 7075 for the front. They hold the calipers all good. |

you made and designed them. I have been trying to decide which way to go with my brakes. Do you think this will fit under borbet type-e's? 16 x 7.5, 20mm et at the moment. Typing on my phone on the train, excuse the brevity. |

![]() Excellent work! I like the tip for retaining the rear parking brake. I was looking at a couple options for brakes for the '77 when I get to serious wrenching on it, and that just might suit my needs.
Whole set-up looks great.
