Brake Calipers

[WOLVERINE]

will 1998 boxter brake calipers fit a 77 911S?
and if not what mods will it need to fit.

It's not quite a bolt-on mod. but can be readily accomplished with a relatively simple modification to all 4 calipers since the mounting hole spacing on the calipers and the front struts and the trailing arms are not a match.

I sent my calipers to a company in New Jersey that did a very credible and prompt job. Get a hold of Doug at: http://vehiclecraft.com/

You should also swap out your master cylinder to a 21 or 23 millimeter unit to retain acceptable pedal feel. You may have to address some rotor issues as well. VCI can supply all the bits and will talk you through the entire exercise.

It won't be cheap, but a worthwhile improvement like this never is, and you won't believe the difference in feel, stopping distance, fade resistance and brake modulation.

Yes, they will fit w/ the proper caliper adapters, TRE, VCI probably others sell the parts. You use '84-89 Carrera rotors.

You can get 95% of the benefit at 5% of the cost by just using '84-89 Carrera calipers and rotors on the front. You don't get the bling w/ this setup though.
