the rear Boxster S calipers mate, with mounting brackets which can be bought off ebay. Got the whole lot for £410.

Got a spare plastic battery cover front and back plus tray for the smaller battery cars, just needs the distribution block and cradle. which can be bought for TPS. Will be up for sale shortly.

Patch - getting the brakes ready for when i go for even more power, just looking at getting some rears now.

Think you'd have issues with MS size running that size rear, That it'd be a ballacher custom job, Even Dave b did maxium 286mm kit, that used standard calipers, only was +point for heat discipation/track days/fast road use
