[cawsey18]

£1200 +

absoute b*&&*x mate.....
isnt even 1200quid for a brembo junior gt.

i did my full conversion diy for 500 quid and fitted diy.

 

[cawsey18]

thought as much matey.. so theres some calipers on ebay at the moment for the boxter s. so if i was to need carriers and hoses where would i get these ?

 

[james walker]

careful of fitment, are they rear boxster s calipers?

carriers from daveb1970 off here, hoses from badger 5... carriers are 130quid and hoses 50quid

if you want new parts then your looking at £1200ish to put together your own kit with porsche calipers being the most expensive part (theres a porsche spares website that sell the exact calipers, new for £400 each), i priced up the job last month but never went through with it, you can buy kits from the likes of awesome for £800 but they dont come with pads.

As for the full job done for £500, you might have done yours for £500 mate but that doesnt nessesarily mean eveyone can.

 

[cawsey18]

ok mate, but yer am after second hand ..

 

[James_R]

ok mate, but yer am after second hand ..

No worries mate, i didnt mean to piss on anyones chips but when i priced up all new bits last month the prices were something along these line:

calipers (porsche genuine) £400 x 2
Carriers & hoses £200 (from awesome)
Discs (312mm drilled & grooved) £100
Pads £94 (carbon composite performance items)
Dot 5.1 fluid £12 (for 1litre)

And if buying from ebay do a search on here for the exact calipers you need so you can cross reference the part numbers and as james walker has said be careful fitment wise if you cant find the numbers because its rear calipers you need.

 

[james walker]

996.352.421
996.352.422

there the numbers you need, carrera or boxster s rears

312mmx25mm discs fit fine.

calipers used for 300quid
lines 50quid
carriers 130quid
shims 30quid
discs, you may have already but plain ebc for 60quid

fluid a tenner so all in for 550-600 bargain

 

[James_R]

£500-600 is a bargain mate, it was the price of the new calipers that frightened me

However i think that if i go hybrid next year i'll run a cupra R off the road and steal there's

Are these the adaptors to use ?? .. also where do i get the hoses for 50 quid ??

 

[Shaunyboy]

Yeh they dont look like brembo ones though, look like remanufactured. Hoses, James said Bill does them so drop him a PM or post in his section Badger5 and his username is Ibizacupra.

 

[cawsey18]

not being brembo does this pose a problem ?? or should they be ok ?? .. also is it boxster calipers only that fit ? or can i get away with any others 944 etc.. cheers for all the help guys ..

 

[Shaunyboy]

No shouldent be a problem..

What car they going on?

 

[cawsey18]

its a mk1 fr.. im hoping theyl just fit behind my pro race 17s. i know i need spacers...i could just get seat brembos but i like the idea of the porsche logo showing.

 

[Shaunyboy]

The bigger calipers, 6 pot etc and bigger discs like 323mm would need 18 inch wheels to clear them. The ibiza brembos 312mm i think, fit behind.

 

[james walker]

they are the right carriers yes in the ebay link. same as what i have

youll pickup the porsche setup cheaper thn the oem vag brembos anyway.

does the fr have 312mm discs, think it does, is it petrol? if diesel think they have 288mm discs

youll need oem 312mmx25mm discs to fit.
