Hello

I got a set of front and rear Boxster calipers to upgrade onto my 914.

Was told by the seller they are the non S versions.

Having issues with finding the correct front pads. The pads for the base Boxster dont fit correctly.

Spent a lot of time cleaning & refinishing these.

Wondering if I actually received S calipers. Is there a way to confirm what calipers I have?

Thanks

David

Another nail in my coffin.

Tried putting the front wheel on and found that the front calipers rub. Using 6 X 16 Fuchs. Rear seem to be good with 7 X 16 Fuchs.

Now my options seem to be.

Grind the calipers for clearance and deal with all the other issues.

Work with the seller as they were misrepresented in the ad.

Buy or trade for 2 correct non Boxster front calipers and try to sell these.

Put the old calipers and rotors back on and say the hell with it.
