The 944 caliper is 26x30 mm apposed to the g60. the reason I am posting this is because I purchased a set of 944 calipers on a whim, and found out they are not much more of an upgrade from g54 calipers.
Cons: not much upgrade

Share on social networks:
It takes a larger master cylinder to push more fluid to four pistons. The surface area of all 4 pistons pushing on the disc is slightly larger than OE. A larger (thicker) rotor is being used and I'm not sure how to calculate that into the equation or if that's even important. Regardless if you have the oe mater cylinder using Porsche 4 pot calipers you will have to get a larger master cylinder.
Pros: larger surface area
Cons: larger master cylinder needed

First day with my 951 on the road, just got it registered and my front drivers caliper locks up and boiled my fluid before I could get home.

I'd go with Porsche calipers on stock rotors, which is what I run. MUCH improved pedal feel and modulation, ability to swap pads without taking the caliper off, and more pad options.
Pros: improved pedal feel, modulation
I've got an Audi A4 Quattro that I DD, Autocross and teach HPDE ( Track Days ). Originally I tried the TT carrier / A8 rotor (312mm ) upgrade. I later switched to Porsche Boxster calipers because I was getting pad taper on Track Days.
Pros: stiffer, reduces pedal travel
Cons: pad taper on track days

Rear calipers are a Porsche 944T, the disks in a VW Corrado / Golf G60, 280mm, 274mm lowered to the clamps are anchored with an adapter for Grinling54, is to lower a bit with the grinder, but it is simple
Pros: simple to lower

I currently have 12.3" Audi TT rotors with Porsche 911 (996) calipers. Those brakes works fine, but I want smaller brakes so I can fit 15" wheels.
Pros: brakes works fine
Cons: want smaller brakes
Vehicle:
Audi TT
I run TT rotors with Boxster calipers. I like this setup very much. Brake pedal is a little firmer than stock and they are easy to modulate on the street.
Pros: firmer brake pedal, easy modulate
Cons: harder to obtain, cost more
