Anyone running Boxster S front calipers / brakes?, Now I need adapters... Options

Will get them from Rich Johnson if they have the same mount dimensions as standard Boxster calipers.

I dont think so. The bolt spacing is definately the same but I dont know about the offset or height. The BoxS uses the 996 caliper (just painted red). The 996/BoxS stuff bolts right to a base Box (the hub carriers are the same) but I dont know how much the hats/offsets are in the rotor vs the caliper. I have a pair of 996s in the garage if you need me to measure anything, but bill verburg and I had a good discussion on this over on the bird board a few months back if you do a search. The problem is the rotor dims. I dont have my data in front of me but I think they use a 28mm rotor. Different than any other early porsche (except I think a 951). The base box uses a 24mm rotor wich is = to carrera. The 993 and 930 rotors are 32(?) mm wide. The stock 996 rotor hat is all wrong to fit on a 911 hub (and its one piece so you cant simply make another hat). You'd have to find an aftermarket two-peice rotor and make hats. I dont have a clue if the 951 rotor can be adapter to a 911. Its far simpler (and cheaper) to stick w/ box calipers on carrera rotors, or 993 calipers on 930 rotors. I guess its possible to shave the pins (and pads) to fit them over a 32mm rotor like some guys do w/ the 993 rears. Im shimming the bridge of mine so I dont have to mess w/ that every pad change (Im putting 993s on the tail dragger)

Best,
