i'd like to go to a set of (bigger) 4 piston brake calipers on all 4 corners.
right now, i have '84 carrera hubs, rotors and calipers all around ... what are my options? what's a direct bolt on, what does require adapters? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Andy |

Boxster calipers go right on with adapters. I think that they use Carrera front rotors and Boxster rear rotors. I've been watching Boxster calipers on ebay, most are going for $500.00 to $600.00 for all 4 and the adapters are around $200.00 per axle. What kind of brake fluid are you using? Is it fresh? A bit of water in the system will reduce the boiling temperature significantly. Porterfield pads for the Boxster calipers are about $150.00 per axle. Hawk blues are about $250.00 per axle. I just went through all this for a friend a couple of days ago.

Where are the adapters available from? |
