Hi Mark,
Thank you for the Information.
Maybe I should have been more specific:
So First of the car is getting the 911 parking brake. No discussion!
Second I understand the difference between struts 3" vs 3.5"
I also understand, that there are no S or Alfa Calipers for the rear. in my case in that combination I would use M Calipers in the rear. If I where to use Boxster Calipers front AND rear I would use Stomski adapters.
The point is more like, is it worth going the extra step from S-Caliper or Alfa Caliper in the front and a M-Caliper in the rear to Boxster Calpers ALL the way around.
What are the experiences, is there a noticeable difference, especially on track. Second are there (big) draw backs with the Boxster set up I should be aware of. AKA wondering why not more people use it!
Has anybody used the Boxster Calipers with 15" Cookie Cutters?

First, are you talking front or rear?
There are no Alfa or S calipers for the rear, only 914-6, M or Boxster calipers.
If you want it to look like a GT, use 914-6 or M calipers on the back.
The Boxster calipers are lighter than the steel calipers but the Carrera rotor might even things out. Only the 914-6 caliper has a parking brake unless you use 911 e-brakes.
Same on the front. M calipers were on the six, S calipers on the GT. Use the M or Alfa calipers if you are staying with 3” struts. S & Boxster calipers require 3.5” struts and Boxster calipers also need adaptors.
