Porsche calipers?
I've been looking around and seeing a few e30 users using them and got to wondering if they(porsche calipers) would work on my w124. I think either the 993t or 944t/968 would be the one(s) that would work. Especially since there are volvo/vw people using the 993t calipers. I hope to be able to use all four corners. So mainly just looking at if it's possible, and what kind of work lay in front of me if it is. I'd like to do this to my w201 16vlv too if possible. Thanks.

Thanks for the info, I was looking at what he is doing, and it seems like a full on custom job with the 996t calipers. I'm looking more at the "dated" porsche calipers, especially the 944t since they're just a regular 4piston brembo caliper, and would expect them to be more of a bolt on/minimal effort type job. Also, I'm only looking at running wide 16"s, so can't really have huge calipers in there.

I put 993T brakes on the front of my 93 Audi S4. They just bolted on but I did have to mess with the break lines a little (so long ago I forget exactly).
That would be great if the same brakes also just bolted on my 124 (but I doubt it). Let us know what you find out.
There was a thread in here somewhere about putting larger Brembo brakes from another Mercedes model on a 124 that din't sound like too much work.
