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

Just get kamikaze tattoo'd on your forehead mate. You could go for carbon ceramic disc's aswell.

Jrd - Do you need to change the rear hubs to fit 256mm brakes?

No paul hubs stay the same..

Title: Re: Yesterdays shopping
Post by: Hulmie on 24 January 2011, 10:44

what about if you use r32 rears, as there rear setup is different to the fwd mk4

Title: Re: Yesterdays shopping
Post by: tech1889 on 24 January 2011, 10:45

you then need 6mm spacers for the calliper or carrier one of the two..
