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 did a front and rear boxter caliper conversion a few years ago. I used some early 911 struts with 3" spacing. I made my own mounts and had to do some machining on the struts to make them work and the thread is somewhere on here. I love the brakes as they are very powerful. I ran a 19mm master cylinder at first but put on a 23mm later. I tend to like the feel with the 19 better as it takes less effort on the foot but has more pedal travel. My rims are 15" deep 6s with hearts and the fit and I left the stock valve on for the rears.
