Porsche 944/928/968/911 calipers fit.

They're the Brembo 4 pots commonly known as Big Reds.

You need an adapter to mount them on and of course discs to suit.

Cost is something like:

Adapter £150
Discs (varies but >£80)
Calipers (varies but >£500 depending on model and condition)

I have a set of adapters I am hoping to redesign for easier (less expensive) reproduction here.

Bob bitching on brickyard has just done a set of wilwood 4 pots onto bigger standard vw discs with modded hubs and a bracket that we designed. Let you know how it performs soon as this will be tested with a 3.3 scooby lump pushing it. We are also looking into wilwood rears with handbrake.
Keep you posted.
