I'm looking for some 964RS front calipers. I think the part number is 965.351.426.01
I'll be damned if I can find any but I'm wondering what else is going to be the same?

I think the 928GT had 928.351.426.01 Are these likely to be the same? (are they the black version of big reds?)

some advice would be much appreciated.

Not sure about the 964RS calipers but I can confirm the Big Black (928 GTS) are the same as the big reds. You will need larger discs if you are doing a conversion to a std 964 though.

I'm not sure on this at all and could be wrong, but I seem to remember the 964RS had 964 Turbo brake calipers. Also think 993 C2 rears are the same, but not sure about the front.

Not quite mate. Look at the chart again and you'll see that while 928S and 964RS are the same front caliper body, they're the 'S4' caliper body (which is also the same as the standard 993 body). The 'big red' caliper body is used on the 964 turbo 3.6, 993RS and 993TT and on the 928 GTS in 'big black' guise. Essentially, the 964RS uses the front caliper size between the smaller standard 964 caliper and the larger 964 turbo caliper.
