Hey Guys...

What is the best Brake Upgrade? 944 Brembo's? Boxster Calipers? I would like a complete solution for both front and rear....I saw posted somewhere that one of you guys makes a Boxster Brembo Rear Setup....but cant find it...or the cost? But what about the front?

Do I have to change to 911 Front Suspension to do a front brake upgrade?

HELP>>>>

What is the best Brake Upgrade?


As others will no doubt agree - your first step is to make sure that your stock system is actually functioning properly. Then secondly, the suggestion is use the search function and review the eleventythousand previous threads that ask the same question. (EDIT - here is one on page one of the garage that started last week)

Here is a quick summary though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

1. If your stock works fine - what are you doing that you need more brake? Most "upgrades" mean you only need a better brake pad, or possibly swap out the 17mm master cyl with a 19mm one.

2. Some people will suggest putting on SS brake lines. Others will say this is dangerous and do not. YMMV.

3. If you are going to swap out to a 5 lug suspension, then the sky and your bank account are pretty much the limit. If you are sticking with 4 lug your options are less (again, try the search function)

That should get you started
