Standard Boxster Calipers also have 130mm centers for mounting thats why so many early boxster owners upgrade to Boxster S Calipers...

Also you dont wanna buy RS2 Carriers either as they are a fortune... Look at these... I have them on my S2.. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260650623665

Better value and better quality....

clipperjay what diameter discs are those? over 300mm? apparently you canand you  use these calipers on a 280mm setup (which i have). point being i might get away with a smaller wheel...?  :huh:
Seat cupra turbo 304mm
I would be careful about smaller calipers from a standard boxster the mounting holes might be smaller for the RS2 carriers as long as they are match for your mount holes (Carrier bolt center holes end to end 13cm) they would be fine, but like I said I had a set of black ones and they didn't fit had to be Boxster S's rears

The RS2 ones are just a casting.. the other ones are machined alloy and are very light... I have a set on my S2!!

Well if he wants to go down the route guess its all good!
If the RS2 chaps like them better, then there should be loads of RS2 spare carriers going cheap then? :wink:
