Porsche Boxter brakes?

[Lee_Cupra]

Is anyone else running therese and are they pretty much a straight fit or do they need custom fitting?

Do the calipers bolt straight to the hub or do they need carriers making up?

Lastly is there any speciffic boxter they need to come off or will any model do?

Cheers fellas!

most common one is the boxster S brakes as these are the same as 911 carrera 2's so the most popular ones available

Lee,
I have the Boxster s rear calipers fitted to my Leon - superb , you will need custom carriers to allow fitting onto standard hub.
I also fitted 10mm spacers to allow me to keep my 17" FR alloys
Very easy to install but the bleeding was a pain!!

Do I need 17 wheels for this

 

[james walker]

not the alloys its the spoke design..... 17s will be ok if the spoke deisgn is right

boxter-s if same as 996 rears are shockingly bad on LC
terrible hard pedal feel as the piston sizes are too small for the master cylinder

fitted some to an LC and they were abysmal, far worse than a std caliper 312mm setup

beware.. just cos it says porsche on them does'nt make them correctly spec'd for your car

 

[james walker]

hmmh, 996 rears on my 312s and they are tenfold better than oem.

no complaints here at all.

a would have thought they might need a bit of custom fitting?

Have a look over at the Octavia Mk2 section of the Briskoda.net site where I posted a write-up and 'How to' for Porsche 986 front callipers as a cheaper option to many available out there. Search for 'Porsche Brembo 4-pot callipers on VRS' as I am unable to post hyperlinks (perhaps some kind person could do this for me)

i have to agree with bill here, tried boxster s rears on the fronts and they were awful! so flogged them and managed to pick up some cayene 6 pots cheap if your gonna do it use the fronts from c2's/boxster s'.
