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 @Lanner - thank you guys for all of your hard work investigating this solution! I for one would definitely be interested in a front setup, but my goal would be to keep my 15" Empi-style rims. Not sure if there is a setup that would support that. The purpose for me is to increase the cooling efficiency on the front brakes by going vented. Aesthetics aren't important.

@ThePaintedMan . The hubs are dual pattern, so you could use 4*130mm wheels. Some clearance holes in the rotor would be required.
The 298 rotor will require a 16" wheel, but I could figure out a combination for you for 15" wheel if you're interested. |
