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 |

The front adapters that I'm familiar with only work on the struts with 3.5" caliper bolt spacing- S, SC, or Carrera struts. Andy said he had Carrera calipers, I assumed that he had 3.5" spaced struts, not the 3" 914 struts. The 3" spaced struts caliper mounting ears are in the way of where the Boxster calipers need to be so nobody that I know of is manufacturing any adapters for them. I saw a thread here where somebody had cut off the 3" ears and made adapters for Boxster calipers, but I don't remember who.
