Brake Caliper Rebuild Kits

I haven’t had a 944 since 1993 but that doesn’t mean I still don’t pine for one! Anyways I was wondering if the community is in need of caliper rebuild kits? Currently I am importing brake parts from Frenkit Spain and they have rebuild kits for the following 944’s

2.5
2.7
2.5S
2.5 Turbo
3.0 S2

I can get individual pistons, rebuild kits, and pistons + rebuild kits together. If there is a desire for these rebuild kits I can put in an order. (928’s also)

I would be interested in a rebuild kit for an early 944 turbo . Rears were shot but still have them for a future rebuild

There is a market, although not big.
Bigger market is for n/a calipers.
I rebuilt my turbo calipers (2 sets) with the kits from 944online. I had ordered from Spain and UK before as Ian did not have pistons.
Sadly working with overseas is a pita, as there are 4 different piston sizes for turbo/S2, and getting people to correctly measure them is an endeavor (unless the calipers are off the car and disassembled), people try or want to go by vin or car model /options (I know I did) and that only works 1/2 the time as our cars have been modified, frankensteined, etc.. ROW cars mostly have regular seals while most US spec have the scraper type.
Just my humble opinion.
Kuddos on trying to help.

Porsche is by far the worst when it comes to mixing caliper so on multiple cars! This is what we have just for the 944!

2.5 Turbo. Front Brembo -> 88
3.0 S2. Front Brembo ...->94KN4 02629
2.5 Turbo. Front Brembo
3.0 S2 Front Brembo
2.5 Front ATE (Teves) 84 ->
2.7 Front ATE (Teves)
2.5 Front ATE (Teves) -> 83
2.5 Turbo Front Brembo 87 ->

Ive contacted Emanuel (944store) as we used to supply them rebuild kits. Since we have helped Frenkit start their performance line division, I don't have to deal with a middle man anymore :-)
