nope.
I have a 86 944 turbo, they are different. I've been told that they are similar to the 964 brakes, but haven't look at the 964 stuff. I put the 944 turbo brakes on the front of my 74 914 and boxster rears on the back. Rich Johnson makes adapters to do boxster front and rear. The turbo brakes are more expensive and from what I've been told not as good as the 951 brakes. |

The good part of 944turbo (and Boxster calipers as well) is that you can use the carrera 3.2 rotors (cheaper than having to modify your front susp. to accept 930 rotors)
With a set up like that, it would take you quite an engine in your 914 before your brakes would start to fade The Boxster calipers fit inside a 15" wheel Not sure about the 944turbo calipers though The Boxster calipers need an adapter to bolt to a 911 (pre 89) strut The 944turbo need to have new mounting holes machined into them to bolt to the strut Both need the late style strut with the 3.5" mounting ears cheers, Jeroen (with 944t calipers on his '87 carrera) |

I just bought pair of 944T front calipers too. I am not sure, but maybe I will use them with 911 turbo front disks. Before that i have to decide how to, and if I will try to lower my front spindles. But, thats an other story....
Does anybody have any pics and/or data about those boxter rear calipers ?? Seanery, what do you think about the brake balance between front and rear after the swap ? What kind of disks do you use ?? |

IIRC its Carrera up front and 911 (74-77ish) I'll have to check.
The 951 and Boxster's match nicely. I also have a Tilton brake bias to dial it in for the track but haven't installed it yet. |
