Porsche 911,930 Front Brake Caliper - Left

This S-Type front left brake caliper is a lightweight, one-piece aluminium unit developed for high-performance Porsche Classic applications. Originally introduced on the Porsche 911 and famously used on the Porsche 908 race car, this caliper represents a significant step forward in braking performance and weight reduction compared to earlier cast-iron designs.

Featuring a 48mm piston, the S-Type caliper delivers strong, progressive clamping force while maintaining excellent pedal feel. The lightweight aluminium construction reduces unsprung mass at the front axle, improving suspension response, steering feel, and overall handling—key characteristics of the higher-specification 911 models.

Designed for use with vented front brake discs, this caliper ensures efficient heat dissipation during repeated or high-load braking, helping to reduce brake fade during spirited road driving or fast road use. The rigid one-piece body construction provides consistent pad pressure across the disc surface, promoting even pad wear and stable braking performance.

This is a brand-new caliper, supplied outright with no exchange required, making it ideal for restorations, upgrades, or replacements where original cores are damaged, missing, or unsuitable for refurbishment. Manufactured to original S-Type specifications, it bolts directly to the factory mounting points and connects to the standard brake hose without modification.
