It was suggested I make this a stand alone thread so here it is. This will work for 4 or 5 lug wheels.
Parts 07,08 cayman, 05-08 boxster 2.7L (non-S) rotors. 298x24 front 299x20 rear. Calipers 97-08 Boxster 07-08 Cayman Adapter mount for rear caliper. Re-drilled rear hub or the soon to be released 5lug hub from URO. If you want to keep 4 lug have the Boxster rotor drilled. Front hub that goes right onto the stock strut and can use 4 or 5 lug wheel. Front rotor mount adapter. I have not tried but am told 15” alloy works. Rear Front Once the URO rear hub is available (announced Nov 2020) this entire upgrade to Boxster brakes with 5 lug will be an off the shelf bolt on affair. edit I believe it can be done for both early and late struts. the struts shown are late which was harder to work out. |

Djway has been a great help, measuring things for me and even sending me a strut to work with. I build custom brake setups for mainly the vw and Porsche 944 crowd, but I have worked on alot of different platforms. I didn't have a 914 to mockup on, so DJway sent me a spindle and has been of great help in getting this setup done.
As built, this setup has no parking brake. I could probably adapt a 911 or 944 style drum in disk setup, but would need a trailing arm to work with. Current rear setup is just a set of radial adapters for use with stock 914 rear hubs, either stock or redrilled to 5-bolt. Here is a mockup pic of the front setup. Let me know if there is something specific you'd like to see. I can build the front (hubs and brackets) for about $550. Thanks Lanner |

Thanks Lanner Great, thanks for the quick reply. rear is just add the radial adaptor and source the rotor and caliper. for front, source rotor and caliper and lugs/studs to be installed into the hub you supply along with the spacer for caliper mounting. why wouldnt the S caliper work? is mount spacing different, or rotor size, or is it just the clearance with the rim, because i have 16" fuchs so while 15's may not clear, the 16's should , yes? |
