Campagnolo w/ Boxter S brakes

[iroc98]

Would like to know if anyone knows if Boxter S brake caliper upgrade on a G body will fit with the Campagnolos wheels (15 x 8 & 15 x 10) ?

Thank you

I've got Boxster non S on 16x6 Fuchs with no problem. 15 & S? Dry fit them or wait for ChrisP to answer.

Probably get more views and replies in the Tech forum.

Thank you Matt

You’re welcome. And I would have answered if I knew the answer.

unless you wanna upgrade your MC for the dual pucks your best bet is getting 84-89 Carrera 24mm rotors and calipers up front. maintain the braking balance front to rear, same size single puck so no MC upgrade required. they don't look as cool as some red dual puck units, but is total function over form.

The main difference between Non S and S Boxster is the S calipers are mounted further out to get more leverage on a bigger rotor. Non S fit under 15 Fuchs. Like above I use Non S, 6X16's Fuchs with Carrera 24mm rotors. I can't speak for Campagnolos. I suspect the S calipers won't fit.
Sorry for the poor pictures. I'll shoot a picture of the calipers through the front wheels. I use a different 42 mm caliper for the rears.

Sort of off topic but cmpski how do you like that GT3 setup and what springs for the coilover? Did you do before and after front weights? I went with the non S Boxsters. Cost wise, other than the shocks it would have been <1k difference.

Love the GT3 suspension. Spring rates are my secret. I had to buy 3 different rates front and rear to find what I like.

Now you're sounding like ChrisP, 'proprietary information.' "Insert a smiling emoji or something." I'm on the fence with what to do with my rear this spring. Red Koni's from our host, custom valved Bilstein's or coil overs, pretty much the only choice for a SWB. Front is custom Koni's with no raised spindle.

I would like to know your weights if you have them. I have 780 front with half fuel and 1420 rear now, no driver. Another emoji, I gave up info, PM me if you choose

I am ChrisP. I've spent almost $200,000 on that car trying different things. I can't tell you how many people over the years call or email and want what I discovered for free. I build these cars for others.
When I'm learning things from the experienced people in the trade I either buy something from them or send a check for their time. It cost me a small fortune to dial my car in as nobody had ever built a 912 with a POLO engine. Would people call up Elephant, Rebel, Canepa, Jerry Woods, Benton, Rothsport, etc. and ask them for their trade secrets for free? No. Go figure it out like I had to.
I've had almost 300,000 page views on Early911Sregistry, 150,000 here (100 on one thread 50 on the other), 60,000 on the 912 BBS trying to help others. Have I gotten any thanks for the information? Maybe one or two. I'm done.

Who hurt you?

I owe an apology. Should have figured it out with the GT3 and Polo. The CA part in the sig threw me off. Chris was nice enough to pull over and talk about my Boxster brake upgrade. Think he was driving a Macron that day. Coil overs did not come up. Driving shoes did but I haven't bought them yet. Perhaps with a verbal NDA and other I can get that info when I'm ready for that job. Right now it's 2 cords of madrone to stack before it starts raining.
