Anyone know if you can use Porsche Boxster S (2003) rear calipers on a mk2 (front)?  :huh:


I don't think a semi will give the same results

even for using rear calipers?  :huh:

my boss has a boxster S with paint peeling off the rear calipers... he told me today he was buying a new set purely because the paint was coming off! so i may make an offer on the old set, will be cheap  :smug:

Ok i'll let you know, the 280mm setup works fine but it doesnt hurt to have more braking power!

I have a G60 master cylinder, would this be enough for a porsche caliper setup?

according to that thread, you can use certain 15" wheels, so i might be ok. Also they mentioned 280mm discs :afro:

Now, how do i go about carriers....? im guessing theyd need fabricating?

Could probably sand-cast them for you if we can make a female mould on the vacuum former. Anything is possible
