Boxter s brakes in my 84 conv?

Hi All,

I have a set of 2001 boxter s calipers and rotors, I drive 18" so there is no room issue,

I also have a 23mm master cylinder in hand,

please give your opinion on this upgrade, where can I buy adapters?

Thanks

G

Unless you are planning to compete in brake challenging track events, your stock brakes are more than adequate for all road/street activities.

I'm pretty happy with my 996 brake upgrade. They work like a dream both on the street and on the race track. I'm not entirely sure about the discs, but the only difference between the 996 calipers and the Boxster S calipers is the color.

You can't make a racehorse out of a bull, but you can make an awfully fast bull.

Try Engine Builder's Supply. They sold me the regular Boxster kit for my 81. Also remember they told be about the Boxster S upgrade kit a few years later.
