So, for those of you that have done the boxster caliper swap and have some miles on your car, how do you like the swap?
Also, have you done the fronts only, or front and rear? What master cylinder are you using? I'm just looking for some real world feedback from the cars that made it off the jackstands. |

I'm running them front and rear courtesy of Rich Johnson. I love them. Awesome braking and quiet. It's been about 5 years now. I don't track it, so I am on the same set of pads. I am running a "T", no proportioning valve. I have autocrossed it a couple of times and slammed on the brakes several times on the street and in an autocross and I have never had the rears lock up first. I am also running a 911 emergency brake, since it's mainly a street car.
Im also running a 19mm master cylinder. Works fine |
