The 98+ cars use 11" rotors, the 97- cars use 10.5".
Also, I think the 98+ cars have dual piston calipers whereas the 97- cars have single piston.
So no, I don't think any of the parts are interchangable.

well right now I have some worn out stockers, messed up rotor in the right rear and worn down fronts, going to LS1 fronts with sloted rotors and hawk pads, and fresh stock LT1 rear brakes.
I would like to be able to out brake my dads 81 Porsche 924 Turbo

I don't think it takes much these days to out-brake an '81 Porsche, especially the 924 model. That was one of the lesser performing Porsches.

It has some pretty beefy calipers on it, but I think its all stock. I think he would still own me in the corners.
Its still a fun car to ride in
I took him for a spin yesterday and put my foot half into in and that woke him up a bit LOL.
I think he makes like 150 at the wheels or something, but he has a weight advantage one me, thats for sure.
Oh, shoot yourself before you attempt to do a clutch swap on those cars

Actually, you might be suprised how well a fourth-gen handles compared to his, especially one with a modded suspension. It's the later year 928 models that started being pretty decent all around (better suspension, brakes, power, etc). Even a fully prepped 928 though, will usually get smoked by a fully prepped fourth gen f-body. I forget which series it is, but there's one of the roadcourse series with production based cars that has a 928 or two and severl f-bodies. The fourth-gens typically finish quite a few spots ahead of the 928s.

Im looking at springs and shocks along with SFC's then I will take him out in it, I also need some good rubber, have avernger jumk on the car now.
He is thinking about more boost so that should help the car out in the straight line, I think he said it would get him 300 crank hp.
My grandfather took me out in my car and he has a road course race preped 914 with full suspension and a 350 horse aluminum buick v8 and used to be on a Formula 1 team., He only took the car to about 80% of its limits and I could see the potential of the car, he did not rust the tires, neither do I

1977 saw the 928, like no other previous model, it was introduced as the new flagship that would replace the 911, but history had the last word as the 928 now obsolete leaving the 911 to take Porsche to the millennium. With its 4.5 liter V8 producing 234 bhp, 0 to 60 mph was achieved in 6.8 seconds and a top speed of 140 mph. Transmission incorporated a five speed differential mounted gearbox driven via a flexible drive shaft running within a tubular backbone, as the 924. In 1979 the engine increased to 4.6 liters and top speed went over 145 mph.
After nine years in 1986 the 928 received a face lift with a new nose and rear spoiler, engine size increased to 4.9 liters, this car the 928S-4 produces 320 bhp and 160 mph. 1989 sore the top line 928 GT and in 1991 the even faster 928 GTS with a 5.4 liter V8 engine. The cars production finally stooped in 1995.After nine years in 1986 the 928 received a face lift with a new nose and rear spoiler, engine size increased to 4.9 liters, this car the 928S-4 produces 320 bhp and 160 mph. 1989 sore the top line 928 GT and in 1991 the even faster 928 GTS with a 5.4 liter V8 engine.

LOL its an 81 924 Turbo, not an 81 928, I think you got confused a few posts up LOL.
The 914 is nice unless you are six foot two, I can't drive it because my knee prevents me from shifting into first lol.
