Uhhh... just noticed. I think you got the wrong caliper side on that strut. Bleeders should be on the top...

Aaron -

Show us the rear (not yours. fool! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/KMA.gif) ) I am interested in how you deal with the retaining pin and it's installation. Drill swing arm? Dimple swing arm? Modify pin and caliper to install from out side?

You're an engineer, right?!? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

15 x 7's clear fine on mine! Now with boxsters front AND rear!

in which aspect?

cost - about the same
mounting - your 964 calipers are axial mount, while boxsters are radial mount, thus the adapter block.
pad size? boxsters may be a tad bigger. I am not well versed in 964 calipers.
maker - both are brembos
piston sizes - i would have to look them up.

I have just finished Aaron's struts and I will share the rest of the procedure.
Here it is mounted to the jig getting ready for locating and drilling of the holes to mount the adaptor.Attached Image

Since the mounting holes are into the step I had to counter bore a pocket so I could
drill the holes

Using a transfer punch to mark the mounting holes in the adaptor so they line up
with the holes in the struts.

Tapping holes in the struts and checking multiple times with a square to make sure
the threads will be square.

Oops on the photo above the caliper is centered on the block and the rotor then using a transfer punch to mark the block for the mounting bolts.
